Service Information

SUBJECT: INSTALLING A NEW STYLE CENTER ISSUE: 02/87-931 CONSOLE IN AN EARLY CAR


APPLICATION: 900 MODELS WITH ELECTRIC SUNROOF 1983-85 MODELS



Center console front part 98-07-025 with the opening for the small sunroof switch is no longer available as a spare part. This center console front part has been replaced with 02- 58-269 which has a larger opening and accepts the later style (M86-) sunroof switch. When installing this console in an earlier car (M83-85), the later switch 95-50-617, socket 95-02-022 and wire connectors must be purchased and rewired according to the directions below. Note the part numbers and order according to your needs.



Modification Details:

1. Remove wires from the old cable harness socket and discard the socket. Obtain a new socket 95-02-022 and reinstall the wire terminals into the new socket as follows:

Wire I.D. -M85, Socket pos. M86-, Socket pos.

592 SV 0.75 7 1, 8*
594 RD 2.5 6 7
591 BR 2.5 4 3
593 BR/WT 0.75 3 4
595 GN 2.5 1 2

* It will be necessary to supply an extra ground to the new switch. To accomplish this, make a short jumper wire with a two piece snap connector 95-59-998/95-60-004 at one end and a non-insulated terminal 30-24-098 at the other. Connect the jumper wire to 592 SV and plug into pos. 8.

Wiring diagrams for all 900 electrically operated sunroofs can be found in Sec. 3.2, pg. 266 of the 900 Service Manual.
2. Complete the installation of the new console using a new sunroof switch 95-50- 617.
