HEADLAMP DOOR RELAY PROPER INSTALLATION

1982-86 FIREBIRD AND 1984-86 FIERO MODELS

In the event that a headlamp door motor relay fails on a 1982-86 Firebird or a 1984-86 Fiero, it is very important that the replacement relay be mounted correctly as shown in the Illustration. Relays should be attached firmly to the mounting surface to prevent vibration. The relays should be mounted with the wires at the bottom to avoid water entry. In addition, electrical tape should be used on the Firebird to seal the space between the bottom of the relay and the wires.

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.
