NOTICE:
This bulletin updates 85-8-3A dated September, 1984 with changes in switch effort. Please discard original bulletin and replace it with this
one.
During cold weather, the effort required to energize the horn may be higher than some owners desire due to the stiffness of the vinyl and foam materials
in the horn pad/cap at low termperatures.
The horn pad/cap was changed to the softer vinyl June 12, 1984. Additional switch contact effort changes were recently made on the service horn pad
assemblies. To repair owner vehicles, horn pads/caps with these changes are available as replacements. Order part numbers as shown in group 6.512 for
pad and group 2.820 for cap from GMWDD.
NOTICE:
Ornamentation on the 1983 custom pad may be slightly reduced from 1983 original parts.
