I am having the same problem. I think I have located a used part but not sure. Does anyone know the part number or what the replacement part is called. I would appreciate any info anyone can give me.

#84 of 118 drivers side A/C vents blowing warm air by chuckiebtoo

99 Century left-side dash vents (and other left side vents>) blowing warm air while right side blows AC.
 
I pretty much know it's a mechanical prob with the vent mechanisms, but what can I do about it?
 
Thanks,

I have a 2003 Century and the right low beam light went out. The bulb is good and the fuse is good. Anyone have any idea on what to check next?

#88 of 118 help, fan won't turn off. by nicklenorp

help
I have a buick century 2000. this is the problem, the blower motor on the passenger side will not turn off, even with the engine off and the key out of the ignition. the only way to get it to stop is to pull the 60amp maxi fuse at location BAT#2. this however disables a couple of things including the break lights so of course I just got pulled over and issued a warning for nonworking break lights. I have disassembled the heater control panel and disconnected the two wire bundles but to no avail. please help.
thanks.

We had the same problem. Turned out that the stadium chairs we keep in our trunk were pushing on a bit of wiring that was poking out from the holes to access the tail lights. The wires were being pushed against the sharp metal edge of the holes, thus causing a short and blowing a fuse. The taillight fuse also controls the dashboard lights (it doesn't say that in the manual, it was discovered by trial and error...) We taped up the wire that was shorting, and pushed the wiring back into it's access hole. Replaced the traillight fuse, and the issue was solved. It was NOT the "dimmer" fuse as we originally thought. Wish the manual had noted that dash lights were on the taillight fuse!

Are you tail lights also out? What about the lighting on your door buttons for lock and window? All of this was out on our Century and all at once. Yet, we too had the PRND12 indicator lit... Turned out that the stadium chairs we keep in our trunk were pushing on a bit of wiring that was poking out from the holes to access the tail lights. The wires were being pushed against the sharp metal edge of the holes, thus causing a short and blowing a fuse.

#91 of 118 2003 buick century dash/tail lights out by rareruby

Last time we needed to drive at night we realized that our dash lights were out, as well as our tail lights, and the courtesy lights for lock/window on the doors. Turned out that the stadium chairs we keep in our trunk were pushing on a bit of wiring that was poking out from the holes to access the tail lights. The wires were being pushed against the sharp metal edge of the holes, thus causing a short and blowing a fuse. The taillight fuse also controls the dashboard and door lights (it doesn't say that in the manual, it was discovered by trial and error...) We taped up the wire that was shorting, and pushed the wiring back into it's access hole. Replaced the traillight fuse, and the issue was solved. It was NOT the "dimmer" fuse as we originally thought. Wish the manual had noted that dash lights were on the taillight fuse!
