It is always a good idea to have a friend on call, or a second car available.Equipment list:

• Power Steering pump (to replace defective pump)
• Two (2) quarts power steering fluid or appropriate ATF (to flush and fill). More than 2 quarts if flushing the rack is desired.
• Power Steering Pulley Puller set (to remove and attach the pulley). Some auto parts stores will loan the tool sets.
• Socket set.
• Open end wrench set (for use with puller set).
• Leverage pipe or extension bar (in case the pulley is hardened on the spindle).

• 2' wood 1x2 for assistance with aligning the pulleys. Any straight tool will work fine -- a level, metal rod, wood, whatever.

buicks are tricky. i have a 92 park avenue,and there are buick forum onlinewwith alot of topics. i've spent a few hours looking at all types of common problems with buicks.1. are there any codes from the computer2.will it restart right away or do you have to wait for it to cool down3.can you hear the fuel pump when you turn thekey to the on position my car would get warm and then die,and i would have to wait until it cooled down befor it would start again. so i had to replace the crankshaft position sensor.also the fuel pumps commonly go out, so you need to check the fuel pressure. i would suggest that you google your car and find a forum that fits your problem, try www.automotiveforums.com. sorry i cant be of more help

Sorry to hear that.

i would check the wiring from the ignition. and the wiring to the starter.

What exactly is the type of blaring sound level are we talking about? If it doesn't nds like the sound is coarse and skips, possibility is the OEM radio's amp is not enough. If the sound is rippled and metallic, change your speakers to a higher wattage output.

I have a 2003 buick regal. I found a small cover or tab about 3/4 of an inch square under the bottom of the steering column cover. If you remove that tab and take a thin object , like a phillips screwdriver and shove it up that hole it will release the ignition so you can turn it back and pull out your key. What a great discovery!

Your car battery may be on the way out, this can cause the ABS light to come on. ( this happened to my Mercedes 300c)

Its sounds like you have a short somewhere r maybe there's a bad switch somewhere.
