Date: September 14, 2004

INFORMATION

Subject:
Information on Intermittent Dimming (Flickering) of Headlamps and/or Instrument Panel Lighting - Normal Characteristic/No Service Required

Models:
2000-2005 Saturn L-Series Vehicles

Attention:
Fixed Operations Manager and Technician

Supercede:

This bulletin is being revised to include the 2005 model year. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 04-08-42-001 (Section 08 - Body & Accessories)

Purpose

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform Saturn Retailers of normal headlamp and instrument panel illumination characteristics.

Customers may comment on sporadic dimming (flickering) of the headlamps and/or instrument cluster illumination. The flickering may occur intermittently as a result of transient current loads on the electrical system during normal vehicle operation; however, at no time do the headlamps turn completely off. This is considered a normal operating characteristic.

No service is required for this condition
