Parts Information and Service Procedure

PARTS INFORMATION





Parts required to complete this campaign are to be obtained from General Motors Service Parts Operation (GMSPO). To ensure that these parts are obtained as soon as possible, they should be ordered from GMSPO on a C.I.O. order with no special instruction code, but on advise code (2).

Note:
Some parts may include a mounting bracket, which may be removed and discarded prior to installation.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Notice:
Make sure the ignition is in the "OFF" position and the key is removed from the ignition before disconnecting or connecting power window switches. Failure to do so could result in damage to the power window switches.

1. Position the driver's door glass in full down position and remove door trim panel following the procedure in section 10-6 of the 1991 Pontiac Grand Am Service Manual.

2. Carefully peel the water deflector upward and rearward far enough to completely uncover the access hole at the front of the door inner panel. Use care to avoid damaging the water deflector.

Caution:
Make sure that the ignition is in the "OFF" position and the key is removed from the ignition while working inside the driver's door. When operated, the express down feature allows the door glass to drop very quickly which could cause personal injury.

3. Disconnect the express down module wiring connector. See Illustration.





4. Depress the release tab on the lower edge of the express down module and pull the module toward the front of the vehicle. The module will move about 3/8" before the mounting stud on the module contacts the front of the slot in the mounting bracket. Disengage the module from the mounting bracket by tilting the module outward (away from the inner door). See Illustration.

5. Install the new express down module, P/N 16626458, by positioning the module to the mounting bracket and sliding into position until the release tab locks into position.

6. Reconnect the wiring connector to the express down module.

7. Reposition the water deflector to the door inner panel. Water proof tape must be used to reseal the deflector if the original adhesive becomes loose, if the holes in the deflector do not line up with the door inner panel, or if the deflector is damaged.

8. Reinstall the door trim panel following the procedure in section 10-6 of the 1991 Pontiac Grand Am Service Manual.

9. Check the window for proper operation.

10. Install Campaign Identification Label.
