SUBJECT: FUSE PANEL OPENS ON BUMPS OR WITH PARK BRAKE RELEASE


MODELS AFFECTED: 1991 PARK AVENUE/PARK AVENUE ULTRA MODELS

CORRECTION:





The condition stated above can be corrected as follows:


1. Lower the fuse block by pinching the release tabs.


2. Locate the fuse block retention stud. (See Figure 1) The stud can be seen looking upward through the opening that the fuse block normally occupies when in the closed position.


3. Using a 10 mm socket, loosen the nut which secures the fuse block bracket to the stud. With the nut loosened, push the entire fuse block bracket as far forward as possible. Hold the bracket in the forward position and tighten the nut 8-11 N-m (10-14 ft. lbs.). If necessary, reattach the fuse block retainer to the bracket by snapping the retainer over the ears of the bracket. Return the fuse block to the closed position.
