Known issues on the 1994 Cabriolet. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the ignition switch: some electrical accessories, such as turn signals, windshield wipers, lamps, power windows and air conditioners can malfunction when the car is started, because defective ignition switches were improperly manufactured. The second covers the fuel injection system on V6-equipped vehicles: an internal seal of the fuel injector can malfunction, allowing fuel leakage in the engine compartment, and fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire. Owners have filed 2 complaints for this model year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From tracing an ignition switch fault to inspecting the fuel injectors on the 2.8L V6, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1994 Cabriolet.
DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCHES WERE IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND CAN CAUSE SOME ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES TO MALFUNCTION.
SOME ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES, SUCH AS, TURN SIGNALS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, LAMPS, POWER WIND0WS AND AIR CONDITIONERS CAN MALFUNCTION WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED.
