BULLETIN NO.: 99-T-58ISSUE DATE: November, 1999
GROUP/SEQ. NO.: Electrical-06
CORPORATION NO.: 99-08-45-003
SUBJECT:
Inoperative or Intermittent Operation of Any of the Following Circuits:
^ Rear Washer Pump ^ Rear Wiper
^ Speaker(s) Cutting Out ^ RKE Horn Function
^ RKE Decklid/Liftgate Function ^ Decklid/Liftgate Telltale On
^ Fuel Gauge Pegged on Full or Empty
^ Vehicle Starts in Theft Deterrent Mode
^ Vehicle Cranks but Will Not Start
(Repair Wire Harness)
MODELS AFFECTED:
1995 - 1999 Saturn S-Series vehicles built up to and including VIN XZ336032. Vehicles built after VIN XZ336032 have a larger rosebud clip to help protect affected wiring harness from making contact with cockpit bracket.
CONDITION:
The customer may comment that on occasion, one or more of the following conditions may have occurred:
^ Rear washer pump inoperative (Wagon only)
^ Rear wiper motor inoperative (Wagon only)
^ Speaker volume cuts out intermittently
^ Horn intermittently On without horn switch input
^ Decklid/Liftgate release operative with vehicle speed (RPO AUO only)
^ Liftgate Ajar telltale On (Wagon only)
^ Fuel gauge pegged on FULL (1995 & 1996)
^ Fuel gauge pegged on EMPTY (1997)
^ Vehicle will start even in Theft Deterrent Mode
^ Vehicle cranks but will not start (DTC P1635 will set) (1998 & 1999) Horn Chirps intermittently/FOB disabled for 30 seconds
CAUSE:
The cause of the above conditions may be the instrument panel (I/P) wire harness coming into contact with a left side I/P bracket at left side footwell area. At that location, the I/P harness connects to a Body-to-I/P inline connector. The I/P harness is attached to the left side I/P bracket by a rosebud clip. Between the rosebud clip and the I/P connector, the harness may come into contact with the left side I/P bracket chafing the wiring harness causing a short to ground on one or more of the following circuits.
