# EXTREME TEMP. DIFFERENCES IN BI-LEVEL MODE (INST. SCREW)

#### SUBJECT: EXTREME TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE IN BI-LEVEL MODE (INSTALL SCREW)

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1992-93 "B" AND 1993 "D" MODELS

THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE REVISED ARTWORK FOR FIGURES 1, 2 AND 3.

#### CONDITION:

Temperature difference between instrument panel vents and heater ducts (Bi-level mode) can vary by 28-33 degrees Celsius (50-60 degrees Fahrenheit).

#### CAUSE:

The heater shut off air door is not in the correct stop position. Air is not allowed to mix to the approximate 14 degrees Celsius (25 degree Fahrenheit) difference intended for this system.

#### CORRECTION:

By installing a screw as a stop in the inner case wall, the heater shut off door will park in the correct position, allowing a better mixture of air.

The repair procedure is as follows:

1. Remove A/C Module Lower Evaporator Case per Service Manual, Section 1B. Front screw may be hidden by carpet and difficult to access. Use of a 7 mm flex head socket may be helpful. (See Figure 1 for attaching points).

2. Remove/disconnect Heater Core - per Service Manual, Section 1 B.

3. Disconnect vacuum harness gang plug connector at rear of module. Apply vacuum to the gray vacuum line on the female gang connector to actuate the heater shut off door into the closed position.

4. Using a 90 degree drill motor and the included template (Figure 2) locate and drill a 5/32" (4.0 mm) hole into the inner case wall (Figure 3).

5. Install screw P/N 11505332 into hole. Screw must not be stripped and must seat flat against case wall.

#### NOTE: This particular part number must be used for this repair as these dimensions are critical.

6. Remove vacuum from shutoff door and verify that door will not travel past screw or become hung up.

7. Connect vacuum gang plugs. Install push pin into module boss.

8. Install/connect Heater core.

9. Install/connect A/C Module Lower Evaporator Case.
