Subject:

A/C COMPRESSOR DELAY SWITCH INSTALLATION TORQUE

Model and Year:

1987-88 BERETTA/CORSICA WITH

Figure 1B-35 Eng. Compressor Switches

TO:

ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

Comments have been received that the A/C compressor hose fractures at the threaded fitting for the compressor delay switch, (see Figure 1B-35 for
switch location).

The probable cause for this condition is that the compressor delay switch was installed at the assembly plant with a torque specification that was too
high.

When replacing a new compressor delay switch or installing the existing switch on a new hose assembly, the following torque specification should be
used.
