I just changed the low beam bulb in a '05 Buick LaCrosse and found it really rather easy after researching it. I found no reason to remove the grill and the bumper cover, BUT you do have to remove the top 4 fastners that hold the grill assy to the radiator support, then you can work the headlight assy forward enough to work it out of the socket and turn it down so you can get to the bulb pockets on the back side. NO NEED to remove it all, just loosen it and gentley pry things forward enough to get the light assy out. ALSO> My supplier said his Wagner lighting book called for a 9006 bulb, but the car I worked took a H11. About 4x the money over a plain ol 9006 bulb but it might save someone picking up the wrong bulb. I hope this helps someone else out....Best of luck to you all

my heater does not work . it only blows cold air please help me

remove the two black plugs by the hatch opening and you will see two small bolts. Remove them and the light comes out.

This is going to be a general response for where to look to access. My first point would be the trunk. There is a false panel on the back that can be removed. It is just snapped in. This is going to be the most likely spot. The other way is to remove the back seat back rest. The bench should pop out, again with tabs and that should expose the bolts holding the back rest in place.

You should not have to pull the whole dash. Take the plenum apart, loosen the hose clamps, remove the core.

your low beam bulbs are bad they go for about 21.00 dollars for a pack of two

putting all the variables together( splashed up snow, high rpms, quick actions of the steering wheel requiring constant pump pressure and the sudden loss of power assist) I would suspect that the power steering belt is loose or missing or needs replacing

There are two fuse boxes on is located under the hood and the other is located on the side of the dash board on the passenger side. The owners manual will help you locate the fuse or relay

My low beams headlights arent working and my fuses are perfectly fine... Any solutions??2005 buick lacrosse

was it a tune up? plugs and wires or just plugs? if it hasnt been many days take it back explain to them what going on and have them troubleshoot it "gratis" , if plugs only were replaced , chances are one maybe improperly gapped or loose/bad connection. if plugs and wires were changed maybe a wire is faulty "resistance too high/low". my best advice though, is to find a quality personal mechanic you can count on, the price maybe a lil more but you definately get what you pay for. far too often big discount places put emphasis on volume while quality and attention to detail suffer.

this is a computer problem try resetting your computer. this should be done at an auto shop

Lets start with how knowledgeable you are

You have an EVAP System issue,maybe

You asked if the gas cap is specific

You know that it is to some extent
Application Specific -but the parts store
would give you the correct one

Was the first code even related to a gas cap?

When you say I was told, you mean what?

A professional mechanic you asked a question,
took a guess to give you an answer?

Do you know how to test the solenoid your
referring to? If not take it to a repair shop &
let them Smoke Test it & actuate all the system
components with a scan tool.

Look for the button with this symbol on it hope this helps

no its no safe to drive the car tow the car to your mecanic shop

Does it operate on any speed? If it only has medium it is probably the blower motor resistor. If it does not operate at all then it might be your switch or relay.
