Subject: HEATER AND/OR A/C CONTROL KNOBS MAY BE LOOSE OR FALL OFF (GLUE KNOBS IN PLACE)

Models

Affected: 1988-91 LEMANS
Instead of replacing the entire heater and/or A/C control head for loose mode select or temperature control knobs, it is possible to glue the knobs in place.

Repair Procedure:

If either the mode select or temperature rotary control knob is loose, remove it from the shaft by grabbing the raised portion of the knob and pulling it horizontally rearward. Place a small drop of Loctite
(R) # 290 Super Bond, or equivalent, in the hole on the backside of the knob and replace it back on the shaft. Allow the glue to dry before cycling the controls.
