SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Repetitive blowing of fuses.
DIAGNOSIS
Inspect the 25-way steering column connector. The J-25 (18 YL/RD) wire must be in cavity 25 of the 25-way connector. If it is not, the following repair
procedure must be performed.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
If repetitive blowing of fuse #16 on 1988 C-body or fuse #2 on early built 1989 C-body cars should occur, the problem may be due to the ignition key
lamp mounting screw being grounded to the gearshift lever by things such as a large key ring. To prevent this from reoccurring, the circuits routed to the
key lamp should be reversed at the steering column 25-way connector.
1.
Unhook the negative battery cable.
2.
Disconnect the ignition key lamp two-way connector from the 25-way steering column connector. This 25-way connector is mounted to the
instrument panel just to the left of the steering column. This 25-way connector is illustrated on page 8F-96 of the 1988 Wiring Diagrams Service
Manual and on page 8F-124 of the 1989 Wiring Diagram Service Manual.
