Turn/Back Up Lamps - Blown Fuse In Cold Weather

Subject: BLOWN TURN/BACK UP FUSE IN COLD WEATHER - 1984 6000 WAGONS
We have heard of some instances where the 15 amp fuse may fail in cold weather on some early production wagons. This condition may be due to a high current draw from the tailgate release solenoid in cold weather.

This condition can be repaired by replacing the 15 amp fuse in the Turn/Back up circuit with a 20 amp fuse.
