2006 Buick LaCrosse CXL - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Where is the fuel pressure sensor located? The sensor is part of the fuel pump assembly and is mounted on top of the tank or inside the tank. It's part of the evaporative emissions system (commonly referred to as "EVAP") and reads pressure in the fuel system to detect evaporative leaks, such as a loose or faulty gas cap.

You have an actual message that says "enable shutdown"??

When you say engine light do you mean the check engine light? A yellowish light with a tiny engine in it.

Might be an engine coolant temperature sensor going bad.

You mean a snap crackle and pop? Sounds like some loose wire making contact with the body metal. Find a safe place to drive in the dark so you can see sparks. If you do, that should give you a clue to look for and source of the noise.

I am currently having the same problem with my 2006 Buick lacrosse I changed water pump, thermostat , radiator, radiator car bled it add dex coolant but it's still running hot...got it tested for the psi n it came bak good reading

check for the fuse , your owners manual will show location

feed a lenght of curtain wire down drain tube to clean out any dirt

There is one on the side of the passenger side of the dash and one under the hood mounted to the strut tower

The Easiest Way is to Get the Wiring Harness Diagram with the Colors and Verify that you plugged the Fog Lights into the Correct Harness. I once had a FORD that had a Fuse BOX that had a FOG LIGHT and No Power to that Fuse. Make sure you test the Fuse at the Box and then Trace the wires and if the Switch was wired at the Factory, you should be all set

SOUNDS LIKE U MAY HAVE A FUEL PRESSURE ISSUE. U CAN RENT OR PURCHASE A FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE FROM YOUR LOCAL AUTOZONE OR ADVANCED AUTO TO TEST PRESSURE. ALSO THEY CAN GIVE U BOOK OR INFO ON HOW MUCH PRESSURE SHOULD BE PRESENT AT KEY ON AND CRANKING AS WELL AS START UP

Question edited for clarity and spelling. Question moved to model category. Ideas in the link, but the easy way is to use the spare key. All cars come with 3 sets. Or an Auto Locksmith. https://www.google.com/search?q=buick+lacrosse+keys+locked+in+car ..

Headlamps You can use the headlamps two different ways. • Place the headlamp switch in the HEAD position for normal operations • Place the headlamp switch in the OFF position for automatic lamp control (ALC) operation. During ALC the low beam headlamps are ON for daytime running lamp (DRL) operation in daylight conditions at reduced intensity or low beam headlamps ON at full intensity with exterior park lamps ON in low light conditions. The body control module (BCM) applies a pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage to the headlamp module and high beam relay in the underhood fuse block. The ground for the headlamp module is supplied from G113 or G115. For normal manual low beam operation when the headlamp switch is place in the HEAD position, ground from G202 is applied through the headlamp switch and to the BCM through the headlamp switch headlamps ON signal circuit. The BCM then applies a PWM voltage to the headlamp module/high beam relay voltage supply circuit. The headlamp module then applies battery positive voltage through the left front (LF) and right front (RF) LO Beam fuses to the left and right low beam headlamps. The ground for the left headlamps is supplied by G101 and the ground for the right headlamp is supplied by G100. For high beam operation, ground is applied at all times to the headlamp dimmer switch from G202. When the headlamp dimmer switch is placed in the HIGH position, ground is then applied through the headlamp dimmer switch signal circuit to the BCM. The BCM then applies a ground to the headlamp high beam relay control circuit. This energizes the HI Beam relay, the relay then applies battery positive voltage through the LF and RF HI BEAM fuses to the LF and RF high beam headlamps. The ground for the left headlamps is supplied by G101 and the ground for the right headlamp is supplied by G100. The BCM then sends a class 2 message to the instrument cluster in order to illuminate the high beam indicator lamp. If the headlamp switch is left in the HEAD position, the inadvertent power control feature will turn OFF the headlamps after 10 minutes after you turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If you place the headlamp switch in the head position after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or if the ignition switch is in ACCY position, the headlamps will remain ON until you turn them OFF or until the battery runs dead.

Make sure that all the bulbs are the correct ones and have a good ground.

anti siphon should stop before tank but can cause back splash and slow fill

The battery inside of the remote for your car could be low and needs to be replaced.

You will need to call a locksmith that can open up the doors on vehicles and specializes in opening up car doors.

Hello. To 'bleed' your Buick's coolant system, open the 'bleeder valve' then start engine. Let engine 'warm' to operating temperature. Add coolant/water to reservoir tank if needed as system 'bleeds'. As coolant 'bleeds', 'forcefully' out of 'bleeder valve'; close and tighten it AND keep coolant/water level at FULL/HOT. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Question edited for clarity. Everything here is FREE Jesse! Here is a tip I wrote. It is called burping the cooling system. Basically, you just take the radiator cap off, turn the heating on full and keep topping the radiator up as the temperature comes up to normal. It must be done from the radiator cap and not the expansion tank. There are lots of videos on YouTube. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r26222313-engine_overheating_even_after_changed These are videos specific to your vehicle. https://www.google.com/search?q=buick+lacrosse+replace+coolant ..
