I have a Buick Century 2003. After getting my oil changed at a quick oil change place, they told me to turn the ignition key to the on position (without starting the engine), and flooring the gas pedal 3 times in quick sucession. The oil change soon light then starting blinking and went off. Apparently, this reset the computer.
 
Hope this works in your case.

Power Window Problem by emilyz

Hi everyone,
 
One day a few weeks ago, all of my power windows on my 1988 Buick Century gave up working at once. This leads me to believe it's a fuse or circuit breaker issue but I'm unsure what to do next. The fuse diagrams I've found do not show a power window fuse that is accessible in the dash fuse box. The information I've found on the circuit breaker says that if the problem was overheating, that the breaker will reset itself. Does anyone have any leads on what I can try before bringing it in to have it looked at?
 
Thanks in advance!

My 93 Buick century front windows will not go down, but for some reason the front ones go down. Tried changing the fuse but that wasn,t the problem. I wondering if I have to buy new window switches. If anyone knows answers please help.

93 Century radio malfunction by mjohn2020

My daughter recently was given a 1993 Century. She was told not to turn off radio by pushing power button because it wouldn't turn on again. Sure enough, she forgot and not it won't turn no how many times you press the power button. It's a Delco original equipment. Suggestions?

im assuming you meant fronts wont go down but backs do. i had the same problem. the culprit was broken wires. If you open your door youll see the rubber boot covering the wires leading from your door to the main body of the car. I carefully sliced the boot length wise and found 3 broken wires. I used about a 3 inch piece of wire the same gauge as the existing ones and spliced them together. I searched for months and found the solution on another forum. It seems to be a fairly common problem. Hope it works for you.

I hate to tell you this, but that silver piece is built into the windshields. It's like that on most newer model cars. I've had to fix one on my old LeSabre, and I just held it in place for a little wh8ile.

I'm having problems with my 91 buick century. I can't drive 30 miles before my car overheats.One shop says that my crank censor was bad. I changed it and spark plugs and wires. I heard a popping noise from my ignition coil assembly and popping from four censors mounted on the frame of my car, by the radiator. Can anyone help me please. Once it overheats i have to stop for about 1 hour and it will fire right back up. :

How do you get to the thermostat on a 2001 Buick Century to replace it.
