Bulletin No.: T-93-90File in Group: 10
Number: 290
Corp.Ref.No.: 311503
Date: May, 1993
SUBJECT:
ELECTROCHROMIC REARVIEW MIRROR (DD8) VIBRATION
MODELS AFFECTED:
1993 DE VILLES, SIXTY SPECIALS, ELDORADOS/ETC, AND SEVILLES/STS
Some 1993 Eldorados built before VIN PU604954, Sevilles built before VIN PU808996, and DeVilles/Sixty Specials may exhibit a rearview mirror vibration when equipped with the electrochromic mirror (DD8). A mirror, if removed for some reason, may also exhibit a vibration upon reinstallation due to a loss of spring tension. The condition is more likely to occur on the STS, ETC, and Sixty Special vehicles due to their stiffer suspensions.
To repair a comment of electrochromic rearview mirror vibration, replace the mirror with new part number 25618599. The retention spring in the mirror base has been stiffened on this part providing a tighter fit to the mirror support to eliminate vibration.
Remove or Disconnect (Refer to Figure 1):
