Bulletin:
88-6D-1
Date:
Feb. '88
Ref. No.:
88-067-6D
Corp. Ref. No.: 836404
SUBJECT:
INSUFFICIENT CHARGING
MODELS AFFECTED: 1987-88 CENTURYS AND 1988 REGALS WITH THE LB6 2.8L V-6 ENGINE (VIN CODE W)
Condition
The vehicles listed above may have a charging system that is charging at a lower voltage than is required to properly charge the battery.
Cause
The generator may have an insufficient ground path to the engine block. The aluminum bracket is mounted to a painted steel engine lift hook, and the
fasteners are phosphate coated (black color, poor conductor). Under this condition, the generator is working properly although the voltage to the battery
is reduced, which can cause the battery to be undercharged.
