2005 Buick Lesabre driver window inoperative

Power Windows Description and Operation Power Windows System Components The following components are used to control the power windows: • Driver Door Module (DDM) • Passenger Front Door Module (PDM) • LH Rear Door Module (LRDM) • RH Rear Door Module (RRDM) • Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA) • RH Front Power Window Switch • LH Rear Power Window Switch • RH Rear Power Window Switch • LH Front Power Window Motor • RH Front Power Window Motor • LH Rear Power Window Motor • RH Rear Power Window Motor • Class 2 serial data circuit • Power door serial data circuit • PWR WDO 30 Amp Circuit Breaker • DRVMDL Fuse (10 amp) Driver Door Switch Assembly and Driver Door Module logic, Driver Door Module internal driver operation • PASS MDL Fuse (10 amp) Front Passenger Door Module logic and internal driver operation • RRDR MDL Fuse (10 amp) Left Rear Door Module and Right Rear Door Module logic and internal driver operation Power Windows Operation The vehicle is equipped with power windows controlled by the door modules. Each passenger door window can be operated, either from a switch built into the driver door switch assembly (DDSA), or from a switch mounted locally to its associated door. The driver door window can be operated only from the driver door window switch built into the DDSA. When a window is operated from the DDSA, the DDSA interprets the window switch signal as a specific window switch request and sends the information to the driver door module (DDM) via the power door serial data circuit. The DDM examines the request and checks to see if it has received any class 2 serial data messages from any of the other vehicle modules (i.e. ignition switch position) prohibiting the movement of the window. If the window being operated is the driver door window, and if no prohibitive class 2 messages have been received, the DDM then applies voltage and ground to the driver door window motor to move the window glass as requested. If the window being operated is a passenger door window, and no prohibitive class 2 messages have been received, the DDM sends the request, via the power door serial data circuit, to the appropriate passenger door module. The passenger door module then applies voltage and ground to the passenger door window motor to move the window glass as requested. When a passenger door window is operated from the power window switch mounted locally to its associated door, the passenger door module first checks to see if the DDM has received any prohibitive class 2 serial data messages. If there are no prohibitive messages, the passenger door module powers the associated passenger door window motor. Both front door windows have the express down feature. This allows the front door windows to be fully opened by momentarily pulling the appropriate window switch lever to the second detente and then releasing. Did you hook up a scan tool an check for DTC'S in the driver door module ? DTC B3142, B3147, B3152, or B3157 The switch that failed and generated this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is wired to either the driver door switch assembly (DDSA) or the passenger door module (PDM). The DDSA or the PDM includes the switch state in the message it sends to the driver door module (DDM) via the power door serial data circuit. The DDM sends the switch message to the rear integration module (RIM), which is the master of all lock operations, as a class 2 message. The RIM checks all conditions and if all conditions are correct, sends its OK to the DDM. When the OK message is received, the DDM sends the required signal to all other door modules via the power door serial data message system.

I would like to know were the fuel tank pressure sensor

The sensor is located on top of the fuel pump. It should be black in color. You have an access plate in the trunk to get to the fuel pump without dropping the tank.

On a 2002 buick century custom the horn relay under hood is what Amp fuse

Fuses and relays are two completely different things. Relays don't normally have a fuse built into them. Is this the horn fuse or the horn relay your referring to? If it is the Relay, (a Small, square, black plastic block), take it to a good auto parts store and they be able to give you the correct one. The car will run normally without it. If it is the fuse, ( a flat, coloured piece of Plastic with two metal 'ears'), they are usually marked with the amp rating as a number and the letter A. They are also usually colour coded having certain Amp ratings as certain colour. It is often a 15A fuse, possibly a blue one.

Where do the fuel pump wires run on a 1995 Buick Lesabre?

Hi. In a 1995 Buick LeSabre, the wiring for the fuel pump typically runs from the fuel pump relay, which is located in the front passenger door area, to the fuel pump itself, which is located inside the gas tank. The wiring is generally routed inside the vehicle, often underneath the carpeting and interior trim. To access the wiring near the fuel pump, you will likely need to remove the rear seat. Here are the general steps to follow: 1. Remove the Rear Seat: Depending on your specific model and configuration, the rear seat may be secured with bolts or clips. Look for bolts at the bottom of the seat or clips under the front edge of the seat cushion. Remove any fasteners and lift the seat out. 2. Lift Carpeting and Trim: Once the seat is removed, carefully lift the carpeting and any surrounding trim pieces in the rear passenger area. You may need to detach plastic retainers or remove screws to do so. Take care not to damage the carpet or trim. 3. Locate the Wiring: Look for a wiring harness or conduit running along the floor or under the carpeting. This harness should lead toward the rear of the vehicle, closer to the fuel tank area. Trace the wiring until you find the connection point near the fuel pump. 4. Cut and Splice the Wiring: Once you've identified the wiring near the fuel pump, you can cut and splice the wiring as desired. Make sure to use appropriate connectors and ensure proper insulation to prevent any potential electrical issues. It's important to exercise caution when working with electrical wiring. If you're not comfortable with this process, it's recommended to consult a professional mechanic or electrician who can assist you with the wiring replacement. Additionally, please note that modifying the wiring of the fuel pump may have implications for your vehicle's warranty and safety. It's advisable to consult with an automotive expert or refer to your vehicle's documentation before proceeding with any modifications.

Car won't start

The camshaft sensor on this engine was located on the passenger side of the engine. You will need to remove the serpentine belt, and you can get to it by removing the inner fender or splash guard and get to it that way. I went down from the top. There are two sensors, one is a CRANKSHAFT sensor and other is a cam sensor. Make sure you know which is which. The crankshaft sensor is at the bottom of the engine, the camshaft is right by the water inlet. It is held in by 1 or 2 bolts. If your car is throwing the code for the camshaft sensor, just a heads up. I replaced the sensor and the sensor detects magnets installed on the camshaft. The engine kept throwing the code and came to find out one of the magnets had come off the end of the cam. I am telling you this just in case you go through the replacement and still end up with the code. the camshaft sensor is not too hard to replace, it's tight but it can be done. unbolt the old and bolt in the new. Make sure you disconnect battery before tackling this project. Hope that help some..

What keeps the car from cranking up the starter good in the battery good and alternator is good on a Buick Lesabre 2000

Try starting it in neutral. It may not be completely in park. Most 2000 lesabre cars have a safety feature, where after you turn the ignition on. You will hear a double beep noise and immediately try to start the engine. If not that, a fuse or starter relay. The relay will be under the hood. If that doesn't work you must have a bad connection from the ignition to the starter.
