Subject: CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM REPAIR KIT FOR 1984 FIERO (SERVICE KIT NEW PART)
This bulletin replaces 84-9-13 that was issued 6/89 with a duplicate number. Bulletin 84-9-13 issued 9/84 is the correct bulletin.

Condition:

The 1984 Fiero does not use a separate cruise control module. The module's function is done by a circuit-board, which is part of the instrument cluster. The replacement of the circuit board requires the instrument cluster to be removed and sent to an AC Delco station for repair. The instrument cluster circuit board is no longer available.

Correction:

A service kit, P/N 10150319, has been developed to convert the 1984 Fiero to the same configuration as newer models, replacing the instrument cluster circuit board with a separate module. The kit consists of a separate module, a new servo, wire leads, and complete instructions. The kit has several advantages over
the original service procedure:

Parts are expected to be available on August 7, 1989. Until then normal part orders will not be accepted by GMSPO. Only verifiable emergency VIP orders will be accepted. SPO will make every effort to obtain parts. All parts will be placed on 400 control to waive VIP surcharges. However, the part will be shipped premium transportation at dealer's expense. All other order types will be canceled as incorrectly ordered while the 400 control is in place.

1. The cost of the installed kit is approximately the same, or slightly less than, the original fix of removing, repairing, and replacing the instrument cluster.

2. The customer will only need one visit to the dealership to have this service performed.
3. The cruise control system will now have the "tap-up, tap-down" feature, which the original vehicle did not.

IMPORTANT: The new servo in the kit is necessary to give the performance level of the cruise control system that the customer had with the original system. Failure to install the new servo will result in less than satisfactory cruise performance.
