The police package uses the large frame alternator which reduces clearance between the alternator and the routing of the A/C suction hose. The A/C
suction hose may rub against the edge of the wiring harness retaining bracket causing possible damage to both the hose assembly and the 14305 wiring
harness. Rerouting the wiring harness will correct this condition.
PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the wiring harness retaining bracket from the alternator.
