Electrical - 32 Way Connector Improperly Marked

88buick02
Bulletin 87-8-15

Date Feb. '88

Ref. No. 87-218-8

Corp. Ref. No. 738106
SUBJECT: IMPROPER ROW IDENTIFICATION ON 32-WAY FEMALE MICROPACK CONNECTOR


MODELS AFFECTED: ALL 1987 BUICKS



During April of 1987, a large number of the connectors shown in the Illustration were produced with the letters "C" and "D" reversed. This connector is used primarily for the ECM, but is also used in other areas, such as the instrument panel, power seats, and cellular phones. Service parts are also affected.

The connector will work properly, but could cause confusion if electrical troubleshooting is necessary. As shown in the Illustration, row "D" is on the same side of the connector as the "PED" logo.
