HORN PAD MODULE REPLACEMENT WITH ADVANCED RADIO CONCEPT

VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1986 Pontiac STE

The 1986 Pontiac 6000 STE is equipped with an Advanced Radio Concept (ARC) radio. Radio controls are a part of the horn pad assembly. The same controls on the horn pad are also on the radio. The radio controls can override the horn pad controls in the event the horn pad controls become inoperative.

Should the horn pad controls become inoperative, new parts are available through General Motors Parts Department. All horn pads replaced under warranty must be returned to the manufacturer via General Motors Service Department. Ship warranty return parts to:

An additional 0.2 hour administrative allowance will be paid when units are repaired under warranty. This additional time must be listed as 'other labour hours' along with the labour operation for replacement of the unit.

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.
