3. Remove the power feed circuits from their retaining clips at the fender.

4. Reposition coolant reservoir by:

o Removing A/C suction hose clip at fan shroud.

o Loosening A/C accumulator clamp bolt and positioning accumulator toward upper end of clamp

o Removing reservoir plastic retaining rivet and rotating reservoir counterclockwise to provide access to harness pass-through hole by fender.

5. Pull power module feed circuits to fender pass-through and attach approximately three feet of mechanic's wire to generator end of harness (to assist in feeding new module harness through fender).

6. Raise car on hoist.

7. Remove lower air dam on front of car.

8. Remove three screws from heated windshield power module bracket.

9. Lower heated windshield power module and splash shield as one piece.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
