#143 of 182 Re: Lighter and Accessory power not working [dhood23] by imidazol97 Jul 26, 2008 (6:27 am)
Replying to: dhood23 (Jul 25, 2008 8:58 pm) Do you have the automatic dual air conditioning or the standard air conditioning.   If it's the manual does it work on the high speed setting? I haven't checked the service manual but I assume the basic model is set up with a resistor pack and direct wiring and a relay for the high speed. If one goes out the other still works.   If dual auto air it uses a blower control module that occasionally can fail. This is where the power leads from the blower motor go to. It's close to the blower and sticks into the air stream inside the heater for cooling, just like the resistor pack does on the standard model.   The fact that vibration affects the fan running sounds like the motor has failed. It comes out under the dash on the passenger side for replacement. One person took their fan apart and found a problem with the contact wires in the motor portion and modified them to give better contact and fixed his fan. I'd just recommend a replacement.
#144 of 182 Power door locks not working 95 Lesabre by classy_gene Nov 05, 2008 (3:43 pm)
Hi, my power door locks quit working several months back and I would like to fix them if I could. It seems to be an electrical problem since their isn't any noise indicating it is trying to open/lock the doors. The fuse under the hood is good. Which relay is the one for the door locks?   Thanks any advice is appreciated
#145 of 182 2000 Buick Lesabre turn signal by arky49 Nov 06, 2008 (3:36 pm)
I've replaced a right rear turn signal bulb twice in 2 weeks. After a few days, it starts the rapid flashing when I turn the right signal on. When it does this, the front bulb flashes and the rear bulb doesn't. Any suggestions or solutions?   arky49

#147 of 182 headlights timing by lecci Nov 10, 2008 (6:41 am)
I have a 2000 buick LeSabre and the headlights stay on for over 2 minutes when leaving the car. How do I shorten this time to 45 seconds. Replies to this message: imidazol97 (Nov 10, 2008 6:50 am)

Replying to: lecci (Nov 10, 2008 6:41 am) Left of the two headlight buttons for headlights and parking, there is a vertical slider. It's labeled Twilight, meaning twilight sentinel that keeps the headlights on. Move it down and that shortens the on time to about 5 seconds. If you are sittting with the headlights on and want them to go off, push it to the bottom and it turns the lights off immediately. They will turn back on when the car is put into park.   Move the slider to the top and they should stay on for about 5 minutes. BTW if you just leave the headlight switch pushed in (if you're doing it manually) the car turns everything off in about 10 minutes--inside lights, radio, lights, cigarette lighter power (unless you moved the fuse in the underhood fuse block to make them stay on permanently).   You also may not know that if you are driving or sitting and want the headlights off but the parking lights to stay on, push the Parking LIghts button. That turns the headlights off. I didn't find that for a while because our 98 LeSabre didn't have any way to turn off the headlights while cruising through a Christmas display scene in a park where many people turn off the headlights to help the effect of the colored lights.

#151 of 182 Buick LeSabre 94 - Window will not work - by tony0362 Nov 29, 2008 (2:24 pm)
I have a 94 LaSabre and I am trying to replace the motor for the drivers window, but I cannot get the panel all the way off. I have the screws out but where the window goes up/down will not come off. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
#152 of 182 94 Buick LaSabre - Battery won't charge when engine is hot. by germann Dec 08, 2008 (10:37 am)
The charging system works fine until the engine (and everything else) heats up!   I have searched and found nothing. I have had the altermnator checked and rechecked, I have replaced the battery.   I took the car to my mechanic. He has gone through and says the wiring is good (no broken or loose wires) and he has had the alternator checked and checked with the alternator people (the local auto electric shop that rebuilds, etc) and they say it is good.   He says that every morning for the past week and a half, he has started the car and hooked it up to monitor the system and it has charged fine until it gets hot. Then it quits charging. He is having trouble figuring it out and asked me to see if I could find us some help. So here I am.   I have had problems with the electronic ignition modules on my Ford truck when they heat up. Could the electronics in the alternator be breaking down when it gets hot causing this problem? Should I take a hairdryer (or heatgun) with me to the alterantor shop and ask them to test it while they heat it up to see if it stops working when hot?   or would you suggest another course of action?
