2003 Buick Century. How do I bypass the anti-theft system on my car.

It isn't possible, you have to fix the problem, not find a way around it. The anti-theft system is there to stop exactly what you are trying to do. https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29887709-gm_passlock_security_system https://www.google.com/search?q=bypass+the+anti-theft+system+on+my+2003+Buick+century Videos say you can't but no.

2001 Buick Century Custom harmonic balancer bolt size?

This is the bolt, but the answer is the size of the socket that fits it. If you don't have a full set of sockets and wrenches, doing job is impossible. If it is oversize, and I don't think it is, you can get larger specialized tool from Autozone for free and just a small returnable deposit. https://www.google.com/search?q=2001+Buick+Century+Custom+harmonic+balancer+bolt ..

I have a 2000 Buick Century Custom and the horn went off one night by itself. I'm guessing it's the horn pad in the airbag that needs to be replaced? There is no alarm on my car

No Vince The most likely is that someone tried to break into it and it is the alarm. Horn pads don't self activate. I guess it might be a faulty relay? https://www.google.com/search?q=2000+Buick+Century+Custom+horn+went+off+on+its+own ..

PO 753 AND PO502 ARE MY CODES WHAT DOES IT MEAN

P0xxx codes apply to all vehicles using the OBD2 system, P1xxx codes are manufacturer specific. Your codes mean... P0753 = Shift Solenoid "A" Electrical. P0502 = Vehicle Speed Sensor "A" Circuit Low. This is possibly 2 separate issues as one is a transmission fault code and the other is a vehicle speed sensor issue. Get the speed sensor repaired first as sometimes the bad signal from the sensor can confuse the transmission electronics causing the transmission to behave strangely.
