#308 of 430 Re: 1998 Buick Century Digital odometer [dhann] by borisbuick Jul 25, 2007 (9:45 am)
Replying to: dhann (Jun 18, 2007 11:10 am) Yes. I have this problem been fixed. I changed the highlamp switch which is the one to control the light from min. to max. and is located on the driver side and beside the odometer. In my case, the digital odometer background light and the shift lights were not working. Replies to this message: joejb (Aug 11, 2007 9:15 pm) redbird48 (Aug 11, 2007 11:56 pm)
#309 of 430 One power window down not up! by fallingstar Jul 26, 2007 (10:57 am)
I have a 2000 Buick century. Both front windows work fine but the back driver's side window will go down but not back up. (I'm afraid to test the passenger side) You can hear what I assume is the motor making a kind of clicking noise but nothing happens. I physically pushed the back window back up but it keeps sliding back down again. Any idea what could be wrong? I don't really care if I get the window working again as long as it will stay up.

Replying to: rangeriron (May 29, 2007 7:12 am) I had problems with my signals on my 94, changed the flasher and it fixed everything, its a little metal plug in up under the dash, real cheap too. Replies to this message: mathaction (Aug 14, 2007 11:05 am) noodlesknowles (Aug 14, 2007 11:20 am)

Replying to: gmabcd (Jul 04, 2007 3:52 am) my windows gave out, it ended up being the wires that run from the doors into the car, they wear out and snap when you open and close the door. maybe you just need a little electrical tape and rewiring

Replying to: fallingstar (Jul 26, 2007 10:57 am) sounds like your window is just off track, probably just need to take the door apart and reset it, look online to figure out how to take the door apart, I think its pretty easy
#315 of 430 Child safety windows by doggal Jul 28, 2007 (6:43 pm)
Hi there: I have a buick century 94 and the back windows lower only halfway. My understanding is that it's for child safety. Since I have no small children I want to get the windows all the way down. Is there a way to do this? Any suggestions appreciated.
#316 of 430 Help with Overheating -- 1998 Century by lovemys60 Aug 08, 2007 (2:08 pm)
Hello,   My Girlfriend has a 98 Century with around 100k on it.   It's been running hot since the weather got warm in March/April.   It never actually red-lines and it's never actually overheated (as in, blowing the pressure valve) but it does creep up very close to redline.   This is especially true in city traffic, and, in fact, it runs relatively close to centerline on the highway.   Turning the heater on full-blast does, indeed, help counter the problem, although it sucks a lot in the summer heat.   I never drive her car and just found out last week the extent of the problem (that is, that it's happening regularly)   I'm absolutely NOT a car-guy, although I'm an engineer so I'm able to troubleshoot these things and follow directions.   Anyway, I topped off the overflow tank w/ Dex-cool (although it didn't need very much) and that's made no effect.   I'm going to take a look at it tonight or tomorrow and I was hoping for some advice on what to look for.   My initial reaction when she told me today that running the heater pushes the temp gauge back down is that it's an airflow issue, and my instinct was to watch and make sure the fans turn on.   She's been watching lately and she doesn't have any coolant leaks.   Also, my thinking is that if she had a coolant-flow problem, why would running the heater help? Or, for that matter, running on the highway?   I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer! I'm new here, and i was directed here after asking around on the Volvo forums i usually frequent.   Thanks a million!   Shane Replies to this message: redbird48 (Aug 10, 2007 11:49 am)

Replying to: lovemys60 (Aug 08, 2007 2:08 pm) CHECK THE COOLANT TEMP SENSOR. THIS CONTROLS WHEN THE FANS COME ON. THE FANS SHOULD RUN ANYWAY IF YOU TURN THE A/C ON. THE FANS WILL RUN AND BYPASS THE CTS IF THE A/C IS TURNED ON. THE NORMAL POSITION FOR MY 2002 CENTURY IS THE FIRST NOTCH FROM THE LEFT OF CENTER. IT GETS HOT HERE IN TEXAS , BUT THAT IS WHERE IT STAYS. THE COST OF A CTS IS AROUND $15.00 AT AUTO ZONE. GOOD LUCK RED BIRD
