Power WIndows/Sunroof - Will Not Operate
BULLETIN NO.: 00-T-22ISSUE DATE: April, 2000
CATEGORY TYPE: Body-05
CATEGORY: Doors/Windows/Mirrors
CORPORATION NO.: 00-08-45-001
SUBJECT:
Power Windows and/or Sunroof Inoperative (Install 30A Circuit Breaker)
MODELS AFFECTED: 2000 Saturn L-Series vehicles equipped with power windows (RPO A31)
CONDITION:
Some customers may comment of inoperative power windows and/or sunroof or of repeated opening of the 30A WINDOWS/SUNROOF maxifuse located in the under hood fuse block (UHFB).
CAUSE:
The 30A WINDOWS/SUNROOF maxifuse is not capable of handling the stall current produced by all four power window motors at once. The 30A maxifuse will open only when all four power window switches are operated at the same time (in the up or down direction) with the engine running.
CORRECTION:
Replace 30A maxifuse with 30A circuit breaker (P/N 12077843). Remove the 30A WINDOWS/SUNROOF maxifuse in UHFB and replace with 30A circuit breaker.
Make sure to explain to the vehicle owner that activation of all four power window switches at the same time may cause the thermal circuit breaker to open. Also, advise the customer that once the thermal circuit breaker cools for a few minutes, it will reset and normal power window operation will resume.
PARTS REQUIREMENTS:
12077843 Breaker Asm - P/W Circ
