You must remove the trim/seat cover form the seat to access the cable.

2003 Buick Century fix drivers seat

IF you have a manually adjusted seat then check that the wires/cables from the lever to the tracks are still attached . If you have electric adjusted check for power to the motor.

1996 buick century door locks won't work and radio goes to am station when you turn off the car

This same thing happened to me in my 1996 buick century just a few days ago. I have the same problem with the door locks and the radio resetting to AM too. I also have the problem of the seats not moving. I think it might be the curcuit breaker or a fusible link. I am not a mechanic, but I do have the repair manual and the mechanics book with the wiring diagrams. If you want me to send the wiring diagram I could do that. I hope that helps. Let me know what you find cause I got the same problem.

My emergency brake release cable broke. how do I release the brake manually?

Loosen the cable adjusters located underneath the vehicle. You should be able to take the tension out of the cables so the brakes will release.

How to fix air on '96 buick century

There could be a multitude of things wrong with the AC but the most likely culprit is that your system simply needs charged. You will need to take it to an auto shop to have the system purged and recharged, this isn't something you can do yourself as you must be licensed. If the AC is indeed broke, the shop won't be able to charge it and should let you know that there is an issue.

Thanks, a vote/feedback is always appreciated. =)

if not the problem, check your fuse to see idf its blown.

You must remove the door trim and reseat and straighten all the command rods from the lock unit that have been bended out of shape. This is a delicate work, best left to someone who has done this before.

A 1996 Buick Century Costom with a wet floor (a puddle of water)in the back seat. I have mystery water in my passenger back seat. I have poured water on the car to dupicate rain and find the leak. The door...

You forgot to add WIND to your experiment! Poured water is not driven water and sometiomes the pressure and VACUUM of the moving vehicle is the problem. As you drive a vacuum is created around any area not directly exposed to the airflow. This can "pull-up" seals that are tight when you are still, and also there is a possiblity that the water came from underneath your car!!

Is it easy to replace the driver seat in a 1996 buick century?

It should have bolts holding down the back of the seat. If you can get to these, remove them. Most CAR seats do not have bolts in the front - only tabs that slide into slots in the floorboard. Once the rear bolts are out, you should be able to slide the seat loose and remove it. There will be a wire plugged in underneath or on the seat belt assembly that you will have to unplug before removing the seat.
