91chevy03

Number: 90-387-6D


Section: 6D


Date: November 1990


Corp. Bulletin No.: 036403


Subject: FAULTY INDICATOR LIGHTS AND BLOWER FAN OPERATION


Model and Year: 1990 GEO STORM


TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS


Some 1990 GEO Storm vehicles may exhibit a condition in which more than one of the indicator lights on the instrument panel either remain on after the vehicle is started or do not come on during the bulb check mode prior to start-up. The owner may also comment that the heater/AC blower fan will either not operate after the engine is warmed up, or that the blower fan comes on as the key is turned on prior to start-up.








SERVICE INFORMATION:


Affected vehicles are originally equipped with either a Delco or Nippondenso alternator. If alternator replacement is necessary, use the Nippondenso alternator listed in the "Parts Information" section of this Service Bulletin.


When replacing a Delco alternator with a Nippondenso alternator, the alternator belt must also be replaced. Use the belt listed in the "Parts Information" section of this Service Bulletin.








SERVICE PROCEDURE:


Charging system diagrams, alternator wiring connector diagram and specifications for the Nippondenso alternator are attached to this Service Bulletin. For alternator and belt removal and replacement procedures, refer to the 1990 GEO Storm Workshop Manual.

NOTE: The instrument panel lamp connector on a Delco alternator, as shown in Figure 1 must be removed with the alternator. This connector is not needed when installing a Nippondenso replacement alternator, because an instrument panel lamp connector is provided on the Nippondenso alternator.
