1988 CHEVROLET CAVALIER "RS" AND Z24"
When diagnosing fuel pump or cooling fan circuits on 1988 Cavalier RS and Z24 models, a technician may encounter a misprinted fuse usage label. Should this occur, the fuse panel cover should be replaced with a 1989 cover containing the correct information.
Some or all of the following fuse usage information was printed incorrectly on the fuse usage chart located on the fuse block cover:
Fuse #1 - Does not protect the cooling fan relay
Fuse #8 - Is Shown as a spare on the 1988 label
Fuse #8 - Should be "10 amp fuel pump"
Fuse #17 - Is shown as "20 amp alternator on 1988 label
Fuse #17 - should be "10 amp alternator, cooling fan"
This information may be corrected by installing the 1989 fuse panel cover for the "JF" series Cavalier.
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.
