SUBJECT: REAR A/C AND HEATING - INCORRECT WIRING TO THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTORS

MODELS: 1985-1986 M VANS EOUIPPED WITH REAR A/C AND/OR REAR HEATER (RPO C69 AND/OR C36)

A condition may exist on some 1985 and 1986 M vans with rear A/C (air conditioning) and/or rear heater where low and medium blower speeds both operate as low speed. This may be due to incorrect positioning of the wires at the rear blower motor resistor connectors. The 1985 and 1986 wiring diagrams are also incorrect.
