1991 Buick Park Avenue - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
1991 Buick Park Avenue. Interior/door lights stay on when not running and causes battery to go dead. Where are the switches located? I suspect a door jam type switch is faulty on one or more doors.
to solve this it takes only 2 things, a meter and schematic of the dome lap circuit on any car.
yours is easy new cars this runs off BCM computer magic.
31year old, most switches that old fail. be it 4 doors or dome lamp switches up high. can all fail.
called door jamb switches, bad / if are
each dome lamp is turned off. at the park switch or at the dome.
the cures, I have no users guide, (rare) so answer is generic
1: turn off dome ,via. steering stalk park switch some have dome setting
1b:: the dome lamps them self have a switch, of some kind stated in the mission manual
2: remove all these 1 by one, or first open all 4 doors
and cycle the switch see of dome goes off.
on most cars door closed is switch open
if true we remove the switch and pull the plug and dome goes off
if yes the switch was bad.
Powee antenna wont retract or shut off on a 1991 buick park avenue
Look in the trunk on the ant side and pull back the the felt and you will see where it connects and disconnects. You may have a broken antenna lead. At the bottom of all electronic antennas is a plastic lead that fits in the motor to wind the antenna up or down. See if that is still attached or broken. If the motor is still good you only need to replace the stem, but if there is no life to the motor then you will have to replace it.
I have 1991 Buick Park
Cant really see why replacing a crank snsor would help a car crank, although i understand why it would start when cranking.
Maybe you have a duff battery or a failure on your charging system.
I would strongly suggest using a diagnostic computer to realise the correct area of fault before guessing and spending lots of money on the wrong parts.

I drove the car to
you need to get a new ign. lock cylinder and chip key. Or you can get a lock cylinder and copy your old key with a regular key no chip. Take new cylinder, put old chip key in it. Plug into harness at the bottom of steering column just behind the dash, fine orange wire from existing one in the column. Hide lock cylinder under dash and start car with copy of old key.
