Repair Procedure

This bulletin involves cleaning the IP cluster connector terminals and applying dielectric grease, p/n 05013781AA, to the instrument panel harness female terminals.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.

2. Remove the instrument cluster using the procedures outlined in the appropriate service manual.








3. **Inspect the male terminals, pins 1 & 2 (See Figure 1), in the cluster. (See Figure 2) Any discoloration must be removed from the terminals. The discoloration may appear as a dark line or mark. Use a small flat blade screw driver to carefully scrape any oxidation from the terminals. Gently scrape both sides of the terminals until all of the oxidation is removed. Use of a magnifying glass may be helpful. Do not use sand paper or any sharp tool such as a razor knife which could damage the protective plating on the terminals. Gentle pressure with a screw driver is all that is necessary. Use care not to bend the terminals.**

**CAUTION:
USE ONLY APPROVED ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER, P/N 04856975 TO CLEAN THE CLUSTER TERMINALS. USE OF ANY OTHER SOLVENT OR CLEANER CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CLUSTER OR TERMINAL INSULATORS.**

4. Hold the cluster with the connector facing down and sparingly apply Electrical Contact Cleaner to the male terminals of the connectors. Be sure to avoid any excess cleaner entering the cluster. Apply contact cleaner sparingly to the female terminals on the harness end.

**CAUTION:
USE ONLY DIELECTRIC GREASE, P/N 05013781AA. OTHER TYPES OF GREASE CAN ACT AS AN INSULATOR AND RENDER THE REPAIR INEFFECTIVE.**

5. **Apply dielectric grease, P/N 05013781AA, to the female terminals. Work the grease into the cavities on all of the female terminals. Wipe off any excess grease from the insulators. **

6. Install the cluster. Set the clock in the radio if required.

7. **Erase any fault codes from the ACEM using The DRBIII(R).**
