TECHNICAL
Subject:
Instrument Panel Air Outlets Binding or Broken (Install Washers on Instrument Panel Air Outlet Attaching Studs)
Models:
2003-2005 Chevrolet SSR
Condition
Some customers may comment on a binding or broken instrument panel (IP) air outlet.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a lack of clearance between the IP and the IP air outlet.
Correction
Technicians are to install a single washer on each of the attaching studs between the IP and the IP air outlet. This will provide more clearance between the two parts to prevent the binding condition. Use the following procedure to install the washers on the IP air outlet(s) that are binding:
1. Remove the center trim panel from the IP.
2. Remove the IP air outlet(s) that are binding.
3. Install a single washer, P/N 15650962, on each IP air outlet attaching stud. Two or three washers will be required depending on which IP air outlet is being worked on.
4. Install the IP air outlet(s) onto the center trim panel.
5. Install the center trim panel.
Parts Information
The washers shown are packaged in quantities of 10. The two outer air outlets will use two washers each. The two inner air outlets will use three washers each.
Parts are currently available from GMSPO.
