# ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP NOISE NEW MOUNTING BRACKET AND PUMP

#### VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1985-86 FWD DEVILLES AND FLEETWOODS 1986 ELDORADOS AND SEVILLES

Some 1985-86 Devilles and Fleetwoods and 1986 Eldorados and Sevilles may experience a moan or buzzing noise accompanied by vibrations in the steering wheel, instrument panel, and floor pan. A second design vacuum pump and mounting bracket is installed after VIN number 281300 for 1986 FWD Devilles / Fleetwoods, 607957 for 1986 Eldorados, and 805741 for 1986 Sevilles, to provide additional vacuum pump isolation. The redesigned mounting system prevents the second design pumps being interchangeable directly with first. Since the first design pumps have been superseded by the second generation pump, it is necessary to install a new mounting bracket when replacing first design pumps. The second design part numbers are listed below.

#### IMPORTANT: Make sure grommets are installed in the correct orientation as shown in Figure 1.

#### IMPORTANT: The grommet and bracket screw holes must align properly to prevent cocking of the vacuum pump mounting screw, which will cause vacuum pump noise and vibration to ground through the grommet to the rest of the car.

#### IMPORTANT: After installing the new pump and bracket make sure the vacuum lines and wiring are not grounding out on the body or splash shield.

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.
