Which Fuse is it? by munleyj

I have a 1995 Buick Century. The dash lights are out. When I put the headlights on the radio light goes out. Also, the lights showing the door handles and the power locks and windows are out. What fuse do I replace if it is a fuse?

I had a similar problem with my 2000 Century. I checked all my fuses to find that they were good. Replaced the headlight switch (approx. $55) and cured the problem. The switch was a snap to get to on my car. It only took about 10 min. to replace. Good luck.

I am looking for a way to turn off the headlights at night or a way to disable the Automatic Headlights.

I also have a 2000 buick century and when the secutirty light comes on you cars security system thinks that the car is being tempered with this could be your key chip is not being read right or the security system needs to be re trained to read the key the only way to really know which one it is is to take it to a buick dealer and have them run a diagnostic test. All in all your car has a brain and if the brain thinks that the car is trying to be stolen then it will not start.

Constant DEAD Battery by superyutz

My mom has a 1995 Buick Century which runs quite well. An unknown electrical anomaly causes the battery to discharge to 0volts without obvious cause. The internal or DOME lights seem to be the problem. They stay ON until the battery runs dead, even when the doors are slammed closed...as this should time to turn them off in a few minutes. Any suggestions would help at this point..Thanks

Instument panel lights out / tail lights don't work by goneagain

I have a 2001 Buick Century. The lights on my instrument panel have gone out. The warning lights and the light for the radio still work. I also have an issue with my tail lights being out. I have replaced the bulbs in the tail light and the 15A fuse for the tail lights. I don't know if both problems are related. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Try replacing the fuse. I had that problem and replaced a fuse. I forget which one. Look in your manual.

my tail light went out as well due to a lack of ground, i just ran a wire from the ground wire to the inside of the trunk on a bolt that holds down the net that runs across the trunk

RE: 2000 Buick Century Custom
Hello all, I have some Body Control Module(intermittent power door locking failure) and Cluster(No odometer display, no PRNDL display) issues. While checking for current in the passenger side fuse panel (which has a light coat of rust from water into the cabin from a bad seal at the cabin air filter port), I noticed that there is no current on either side of the 10 Amp fuse, located row 4 of column A - it is listed as being for the Cluster, BCM and Ignition. Also, the 10 Amp fuse next to it shows no current either - it states that it is for the Heated Mirror (Both fuses have been replaced and still zero current)
Any recommendations for a quick fix for this before I start backtracking through the wiring harness on a wild goose chase?
