I am now negotiating with the local Buick Dealership where I purchased our Buick Rainer, the dealership informed me that my problem will be discussed with the "higher ups" and that I will be contacted next week as to how much the dealership will pay ( if anything) to have this problem resolved. I also plan to reveal to the dealship the numerous complaints listed on this forum. I am from the Kansas City area, if I do not have any luck maybe the location of the dealership that replaced your cluster will be willing to do the same for me, or should I just demand the same service you received in your part of the country?? Your question wondering what to do if it fails again, will only give us further ammunition and evidence that this particular part is defective and that a recall should be initiated, allowing customer to have on going replacement parts as needed, I bet quality inspection will then make sure the part is "up to standards."

2006 Low Beam Headlights

I had the actuator 4.563 replaced as the all-wheel drive was locked in to 4-wheel drive. That evening I noted that I had no low beam headlights. All other lights worked properly. I found no fuses blown. As was expected, when I checked the dirving lights during daylight the next day, they were out also. I wouldn't expect that both lamps would go at the same time. Should I expect that this problem might be related to actuator replacement?

Yes, had it repaired this morning. They replaced a Relay 2.485 B, FP Number 15016745, under warranty. Apparently the answer to my question is that there is no relationship to the actuator problem.

15016745 Electrical - Electrical components - Relay - Fan control
Fan control - Fuse block-engine compartment 2004 - 2007, this part is causing the issue with the speedometer indicator to register incorrectly?

I don't follow your post. The relay that I had indicated was replaced to repair my low beam headlight problem.

Hi I'm in NJ and could you tell me were you found other forums complaint about this problem. I have been looking online for some kind of recall or anyone else with this problem. I should not have to pay for this repair I've never seen anything like this and it should be a recall

I have a guy in Cincinnati who said it is a known problem, the cluster has to be taken apart and a number is on the back of the control module for the speedometer. This work takes 4 days to do because they do not want to drop the cluster, get the # and re-install. Then order the part 2 days then install the part and re-install cluster. His Quote is $385.00 Total Cost  dealership is $400-$600.

There is a GM recall for speedo clusters in Yukon's and similar SUV's. But I don't think the Rainier is included in this (yet). It might take a class action suit before this happens. The more complaints that accumulate will eventually force Buick to do something about it or they will risk alienating customers. See if you can get your dealer to go to bat for you with the Zone Manager (like mine did in Ohio). Try to provide him with copies of complaints that you can find on the web and from this web site so that he has some ammunition. Good luck.
