Fusible Link: Technical Service Bulletins
Electrical - Fusible Link Color Correction & Change
BULLETIN NO.: 96-T-56
ISSUE DATE: October, 1996
GROUP/SEQ. NO.: Electrical-03
CORPORATION NO.: 688201
SUBJECT:
Service Information on Color Change to Fusible Link (Circuit 2C) from Starter Motor to Generator
MODELS AFFECTED:
1996 Saturns built after and including VIN TZ392204 and 1997 Saturns
PURPOSE:
The color of the fusible link (circuit 2C) from the starter motor to the generator has been changed from an "orange" color to a "blue" color to meet the
supplier's color standardization specification. This change in color to the fusible link requires a different part number. (The color standardization
specification will help prevent the possibility of receiving an incorrect gage fusible link.) The part number for the new "blue" fusible link is P/N
21024040.
IMPORTANT:
Only the color has changed on the fusible link. The amperage rating of the blue fusible link is identical to the orange fusible link. The part number of
the blue fusible link is different from the orange fusible link.
The blue fusible link (P/N 21024040) should be used on all 1996 vehicles built after and including VIN TZ392204 and 1997 vehicles.
Continue to use the orange fusible link (P/N 21022756) on all 1991-1995 vehicles and 1996 vehicles built before and including VIN TZ392203. Once
stock of the orange fusible link is depleted, the blue fusible link (P/N 21024040) can be installed on vehicles built before the VIN breakpoint.
IMPORTANT:
The "1996 Electrical Service Manual" incorrectly identifies circuit 2C as a "Red" fusible link. Circuit 2C should have been identified as an "orange"
fusible link in the service manual.
