SUBJECT: REAR INTERIOR LAMP FALLS OUT


MODELS AFFECTED: 1987-1991 ALLANTES


Some 1987-1991 Allantes may experience a condition of the rear interior lamp (located behind driver's seat under the boot well) falling out of its retainers when the boot well cover or doors are slammed. This condition may he caused by mis-installed lamp retaining clips. To repair this condition use the following service procedure:

Figure 1 - Rear Interior Lamp:





1. Inspect the lamp retaining clips to verify that the long side of the clip is oriented toward the center of the lamp. Remove and install correctly if necessary. Refer to Figure 1.


2. If the clips are oriented properly and the condition still occurs, add a large flat washer in the position shown in Figure 1 to secure the lamp to the clips.
