Some 1986 De Villes/Fleetwoods, Eldorados and Sevilles may experience the power antenna not extending or retracting or the antenna motor continuously running after the mast has been retracted. This condition may be the result of improper dimensions on the antenna housings. To repair this condition, it is necessary to replace both the housing and cover and gear and cup assemblies.

For warranty purposes, use labor operation R0200 at .8 hours for De Ville/Fleetwood and 1.1 hours for Eldorado and Seville.

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.
