DATE: October 24, 1986

MODELS/YEARS: 1986 CUTLASS SUPREME
1986 CUSTOM CRUISER WAGONS SECTION: 10
Some of the above 1986 models equipped with power door locks may experience a condition where the front door lock switch falls out of the door lock escutcheon. This condition is caused by inadequate retention of the switch to the escutcheon.

FIGURE 1:

FIGURE 2:

To repair this condition, reassemble the switch and install two retaining clips onto the escutcheon, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Two different type clips have been released to correct this condition. Retaining clips are available from WDDGM. Switches are no longer available under the old part number and have been superseded by new part numbers which include clips already installed. Before using old switches from dealership parts stock, be sure to install retaining clips.. Clips should be added to both door lock switches even if only one is reported as separated. New switches cannot be reassembled. The following chart indicates part numbers and usage:
