Subject: | Service Information on Second Design Battery Positive Cable Assembly and A/C Compressor Suction Hose Assembly |
Models: | 1995 Saturns built after and including VIN SZ209189 |
This bulletin provides information on a design change to the battery positive cable assembly and A/C compressor suction hose assembly including VIN breakpoints, part numbers and service procedures for the battery positive cable assembly routing.
The battery positive cable assembly and A/C compressor suction hose assembly have been changed as of VIN SZ248610. In addition some vehicles between VINs SZ209189 and SZ210432 and between SZ245214 and SZ248610 also were built with the second design battery positive cable assembly and A/C compressor suction hose assembly.
The second design battery positive cable assembly is shorter, uses no clip attachments, and has a revised routing. The second design A/C compressor suction hose assembly has additional conduit to prevent it from being rubbed by the second design battery positive cable assembly. The routing of the second design A/C compressor suction hose assembly is the same as for the first design A/C compressor suction hose assembly.
When servicing 1995 Saturns, it is important to note the VIN to determine the proper part numbers and cable routing.
The second design A/C compressor suction hose assembly supersedes the first design A/C compressor suction hose assembly and can be used on all 1995 Saturns with air conditioning.
Regardless of what design the vehicle was built with, service all vehicles built before and including VIN SZ248609 with the first design battery positive cable assembly. All mounting location points will still be located on the vehicle, and first design service parts will continue to be available from Saturn Service Parts.
Vehicles built after and including VIN SZ248610 should be serviced with second design battery positive cable assembly.
Notice: Make sure the battery positive cable assembly is correctly routed and there are no points of contact between the cable and any other engine compartment components. Failure to correctly route the cable could cause it to rub through and short.
Important: The second design battery positive cable assembly requires a second design A/C compressor suction hose with increased conduit length to prevent the hose being rubbed through by the battery positive cable assembly.
