Malibu V6-3.5L VIN 8 (2004)
Some customers may comment on one of the effects and/or driver notifications shown.
Not all of the effects or driver notifications listed above have been experienced. However, the different effects and driver notifications may be caused by
one of the wires in the body harness being chafed or cut. Components on different lines in the list above are in different circuits. Due to the cause of the
condition, and the positions of the wires in the body harness, it is unlikely that more than one circuit will be affected by the condition.
Cause
The condition may be caused by one of the wires in the body harness being chafed or cut on a sheet metal edge in the trunk just forward of the rear fuse
block.
Correction
Repair the affected wire. Inspect other wires in the bundle for chafes and repair if needed. Refer to Wire Repair in the Wiring System sub-section of the
Service Manual. Cover the sheet metal edges adjacent to the wires with conduit, a split piece of vacuum hose, tape or other suitable material to prevent
the wiring from chaffing through again.
