Subject: INOPERATIVE REAR COMPARTMENT LAMP (REPAIR REAR COMPARTMENT LAMP WIRE)

Models
Affected: 1992 SUNBIRD SEDAN


CONDITION: Owners of some 1992 Sunbird sedan models built prior to the VIN Breakpoint N7527777, may comment on an inoperative rear compartment lamp.

CAUSE: A plastic tie-strap was used to retain the excess rear compartment lamp wire to within the rear compartment by securing the lamp wiring conduit to the rear compartment lid hinge support bracket. The installation of this tie-strap subjected the wire to excessive bending, causing the orange wire to break inside the conduit and render the rear compartment lamp inoperative.





CORRECTION: Remove the tie-strap from the rear compartment lid hinge support bracket and repair the rear compartment lamp wire following the electrical repair procedures in Section 8A of the Service Manual. Once the repair is made, reroute the rear compartment lamp wiring by placing the excess wire in the rear compartment lid above the hinge.
