Fuel - Choke Relay Buzz

Number 85-6(Gasoline)-44 Date 8/85
Subject: CHOKE RELAY BUZZ

1982-85 6000 MODELS AND 1982-84 PHOENIX MODELS WITH LE2 AND LH7 2.8L V6 ENGINE

CHOKE RELAY LOCATION:




Some vehicles may exhibit a choke relay "buzz" condition when the ignition key is turned "off" when the A/C heater mode selector is in the "off" position (no blower operation).

This "buzz" condition can be eliminated by replacing the old relay, P/N 14039662, with a new relay, P/N 14089568, which has a diode in series with the relay coil.

This new relay is an interim release for the 1985 models.

The illustrations show the location of choke relay on both the 6000 and Phoenix.
