#22 of 26 Re: Buick Century Headlights [mbaldock] by marie7777777 Mar 31, 2008 (4:54 pm)
Replying to: mbaldock (Nov 16, 2007 6:40 am) 2 Quotes: My wife has a 2004 Buick Century. Lately, (and I confirmed this last night when I was driving it), her headlights have been going out. They went out last night, and I hit the bright switch and they came back on. I switched back to low beams, and they stayed on. The problem didn't occur again. Obviously, this is a nerve-wracking thing, thinking this could happen at any moment. Any fixes out there?        Replies to this message: neight (Nov 17, 2007 12:02 pm)    #4 of 21 Re: Buick Century Headlights [mbaldock] by neight Nov 17, 2007 (12:02 pm) Replying to: mbaldock (Nov 16, 2007 6:40 am)   I had the same problem a couple years ago. The problem kept getting worse until my lights wouldn't work at all unless I held the high beam on with my hand which wasn't easy while driving and also makes oncoming traffic not too happy. My local dealer told me it was the switch that works the High beams and pretty much everything else in that area and it would cost $700 or more. The part alone was over $350. I found one at a used part store for $125 and installed it myself in about 2 hours. It wasn't easy but worth the hassle for the money. It has worked fine ever since. ===================================================   I am having the same problem pretty much with my 2002 Buick Centery. I have had it for two and a half years and really like it. But a few months ago my lights started going out on me once in awhile. They would come back on if I pulled the lever toward me. Then my bright lights stopped working all together. The lights don't go out at night anymore. When I have the low beams on I can pull the lever toward me and the brights will come on, but if I let it go all the lights go out. I was told it will cost $600 for this job.   Does anyone know of a recall on this? Seems rather early for something like this to happen. Any ideas??

Those are strange problems. As far as I see it, it's either that multifunction lever or crossed wires. Centurys have a problem with wires cracking and getting crossed.
#25 of 26 Buick power window problem by hmcfly Jun 20, 2008 (9:35 am)
I have a 2002 Buick Century and I'm having trouble with one of my power windows. It's the front passenger side, I have replaced the motor and regulator 3 times now in a 12 month period. I have a lifetime warranty on it but they are looking at me funny now when I return it. They seem to think that I'm getting power surges when I use it. I get about 10 uses before it dies. When I do use it, it interferes with the radio, could this be the window relay that is going bad? Is there anyway that I can check to see that the voltage is not spiking to the window motor. Where is the window relay? any ideas?   thanks
#26 of 26 Can I reset my radio and clock without going to a dealer? by boogpowl Jun 24, 2008 (9:09 am)
The battery cables were disconnected so the anti-theft device is on. Can I go somewhere to get the code so I don`t have to pay the dealership?
