BLOWN TURN/BACK UP FUSE IN COLD WEATHER

WE HAVE HEARD OF SOME INSTANCES WHERE THE 15 AMP FUSES MAY FAIL IN COLD WEATHER ON SOME EARLY PRODUCTION WAGONS. THIS CONDITION MAY BE DUE TO A HIGH CURRENT DRAW FROM THE TAILGATE RELEASE SOLENOID IN COLD WEATHER. THIS CONDITION CAN BE REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE 15 AMP FUSE IN THE TURN/BACK UP CIRCUIT WITH A 20 AMP FUSE.

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.
