Affected: 1989 BONNEVILLE SSE
Electrical jumper harness wires in some 1989 Pontiac Bonneville SSE vehicles may rub on a metal pin protruding from the shifter in the console assembly. The affected part is the harness jumper (part number 12079033). If wires are worn through and shorted, the radio, instrument light, or accessory fuses may blow.



REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Repair any chafed or damaged wires in subject area as appropriate (i.e. retape chafed wires, splice broken wires, etc.).

2. Cover subject area of wire harness with electrical tape (as indicated on attached illustration).

Use applicable labor operation.
3. Tape wire harness to console base (in area of shifter pin movement - shown on illustration) with a large piece of durable tape with strong adhesion (i.e. duct tape or equivalent).
