#319 of 430 Re: 1998 Buick Century Digital odometer [borisbuick] by joejb Aug 11, 2007 (9:15 pm)
Replying to: borisbuick (Jul 25, 2007 9:45 am) Boris: I can't find this switch. Is it on the instrument cluster module, part of the headlamp switch or a separate unit behind the dash somewhere? Any elaboration is appreciated.   Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: redbird48 (Aug 11, 2007 11:56 pm)

Replying to: mark58 (Aug 11, 2007 3:05 pm) I HAVE FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH DEXCOOL. IF YOUR CAR HAS IT NOW AND HAS FOR 73,000 AND IS 9 YEARS OLD IT MUST BE WORKING. I THINK PEOPLE THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT DEXCOOL REALLY HAVE SOME OTHER PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAR. OIL IN THE WATER OR FAILED GASKETS ON ENGINES WITH ALUMINUM HEADS AND BLOCKS WILL WARP WITH HEAT CAUSING COOLING PROBLEMS THAT ARE BLAMED ON DEXCOOL.

Replying to: joejb (Aug 11, 2007 9:15 pm) JOE.....IT IS THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH.
#322 of 430 1989 Buick Century mind boggler by darthmonkey200 Aug 11, 2007 (4:08 pm)
Ok... so I have a 89 Century Custom 3.3L. My problem consists of a failed AC (clutch won't spin) and speedometer and cruise control problems. When the check engine light comes on, the speedo, cruise, and AC fails. When the light goes off (usually after driving steady highway speeds) the problems just cease to exist. So my question is... What the heck is going on here? All my mechanic buddies are completely baffled. Any input would be just neato... thanks. -Matt Replies to this message: joejb (Jan 21, 2008 6:10 pm)
#323 of 430 Re: 98 buick century turn signal [noodlesknowles] by mathaction Aug 14, 2007 (11:05 am)
Replying to: noodlesknowles (Jul 26, 2007 2:21 pm) I have been reading the threads related to turn-signal problems. (For me: Sometimes the left-turn works when you click it all the way down, and sometimes not. Sometimes if I nudge the stick just a little, it works. But if you click it all the way down, no guarantee). I already checked the Hazard lights, & all bulbs work. My question is, some people have said to check a "Mulifunction Switch" and some have talked about the "Flasher". What's the difference in these parts?

Replying to: mathaction (Aug 14, 2007 11:05 am) from what I understand, (and keep in mind i'm no mechanic)the "multifunction switch" is the electronic device wired into the turn signal lever itself, it controls the many functions your turn signal lever might have(windshield washers etc.), the flasher actually only controls the flash of your turn signal, and in my buick(a 94) was located under the dash,generally above where my gas pedal is, it sounds like you have a wiring problem though, probably just an old wire giving out that needs to be replaced, most likely in the general vicinity of the multifunction switch
#326 of 430 Service Engine Soon Light by brendanjeffrey Aug 23, 2007 (4:29 pm)
Today, while I was driving, my Service Engine Soon Light came on. This was after having driven on the highway and having to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident in the express lane when the person in front of me stopped short. As soon as I got back onto the regular roads I took a corner and accelerated around a person. I looked down after that and saw that the light had illuminated and has stayed solid. My manual says that this most likely has something to do with emissions, the Car is also due for an oil change. Does anyone have any idea what this issue may be?
#327 of 430 License Plate Lamp Replacement by horns1976 Aug 25, 2007 (8:52 am)
We have a 1998 Buick Century Limited. The other day, I noticed that one of the license plate lamps is burned out. Is it possible to replace the burned out lamp without removing the entire rear taillamp assembly??
#328 of 430 heater fan squeals when car hits potholes or sharp turns by rips Aug 25, 2007 (9:25 pm)
I finally got to drive my sisters car and hear the extremely loud squeal it makes under these cicumstances. If you turn the fan control off and right back on, the squealing stops. Would it still be the possibility that it is the bearings need lubed?                                       Thank you very much,                                             Rips
