NUMBER 08-20-86


DATE 09-24-86
APPLICABILITY: 1986 XT COUPE MODELS

SUBJECT: THE ADDITION OF A SEASONAL WIPER SELECTOR SWITCH

THIS SERVICE BULLETIN IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY

FIGURE 1:




XT Coupe models produced from the middle of December, 1985 and on are equipped with a seasonal wiper selector switch part number 83033GA020. The new switch is located above the front hood lock release lever. This rocker type switch has two positions, normal and winter. In the normal position the wiper will park on the cowl the same as XT Coupe models without the new switch. In the winter position the wiper will park on the windshield approximately three inches above the normal park position, to prevent the wiper blades from freezing to the cowl area and make removal of ice and snow from the windshield and cowl easier. See Figure 1. For VIN information below.



Approximate starting VIN's for XT Coupe models with the seasonal wiper selector switch.
