3. The ground distribution system has changed for the rear body splice pack. The rear body splice packs on vehicles built BEFORE the change are connected to body ground at a weld stud in the left rear wheel well area (refer to Figure). Wiring diagrams for this configuration can be found in the "1991-1992 Electrical Power Distribution Service Manual."

Rear body splice packs on vehicles built AFTER this change are connected to body ground at the rear package shelf (refer to Figure). Wiring diagrams for this configuration can be found in the "Electrical Distribution" section of the "1993 New Model Product Guide." This change was implemented on some 1992 models starting with and including VIN NZ156919. This change was fully implemented on all models starting with and including VIN NZ182094. The following systems utilize the rear body splice pack for ground:

* Fuel Pump * Left Rear Stop/Tail Lamp * Center High Mounted Stop Lamp * Cargo Lamp * License Lamp

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.
