Attachment III - Technical Information

OVERVIEW

This program involves inspecting the battery cable assembly fusible link at the right side of the engine for chafing due to contact with a crossmember bolt. If the battery cable is not chafed, or is chafed but no copper wires are showing, the cable will be repositioned and secured away from the bolt. If the cable is chafed to the extent that copper wires are showing, you will be directed to contact the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.

INSPECTION

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.





2. Using an inspection mirror, inspect the battery cable fusible link near the right side of the engine above the # 2 crossmember right front attaching bolt. See Figure 1.

^ If the battery cable fusible link is not chafed or is chafed but no copper wires are showing, proceed to Battery Cable Repositioning in this Attachment III.

^ If the battery cable fusible link is chafed to the extent that copper wire is exposed, contact the Special Service Support Center for further instructions.





BATTERY CABLE REPOSITIONING

CAUTION:
Do not strap the fusible link to the battery cable. Be sure to only secure the battery cable as outlined.





1. Reposition the battery cable forward and make sure the fusible link is positioned away from the crossmember bolt and cannot come in contact with any other surrounding component. Using a plastic tie strap, secure the battery cable to the ground stud located on the front of the right cylinder head. See Figure 2.

2. Reconnect the battery negative cable and release the vehicle.
