SUBJECT: HEAT SHIELD-IDLE SPEED POWER STEERING PRESSURE SWITCH
- COMMENT OF AIR CONDITIONING WON'T COOL

MODELS AFFECTED: 1985 ELECTRA WITH 3.0L V-6 & 3.8L MFI V6 ENGINES

Some early production 1985 Electra models may have been built without the subject heat shield.

The shield affords added protection in hot ambients from exhaust heat and switch failures.
