This may help. It shows how to remove the light assembly to gain access to all the bulbs on the front.

Usually you have to remove some plastic covering and an extension for the sparkplug tool.

About the second post down. Has a complete tutorial! Like I thought, you need to basically remove the whole fender

I would check for a stuck relay first. It depends on where the motor is getting power from.

That is typically indicative of a fuel pump issue. It isn't necessarily the fuel pump itself, but the way it is positioned in the tank when low on fuel can keep it from getting fuel.If you fill the tank and find however that the problem still exists then the other cause is related to parking.Your Buick has a safety mechanism that will not allow it to be started if not fully parked, called the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock. Not only does this solenoid controlled component not allow you to shift out of park without applying the brake, you also will not be able to start it if this mechanism is faulty, or something in the gear select linkage prevents the shift selector from properly engaging the parked position. When on a hill and you shift into park, the vehicle weight is rolled against a component of this system, preventing it from properly "registering" the parked gear select position.What you can do the next time you need to park on a hill is with your brake applied and the gear select in Drive, apply the emergency brake and hold it down, THEN shift into park. Then release your feet from the brakes. This should help.

You will need to take some of your dash apart . I'll send a link for a youtube video . This is a ford vehicle but pretty much the same . Heater core shortcut

It may be a bad electrical connection at the motor, the fuse or the relay. It is easiest to start with the fuse. A relay can be weak or worn out and they also easy to replace.

Sounds like you might have wire problem. Try turning the key to the point before ignition. This is actually a dashboard test that have all lights on the dashboard turn on. Try to see if the lights are completely bright or a bit dull in the light. You battery might be uncharging itself, instead of charging. I have tried that. even with an only 1-2 day old battery.

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

Go to local auto parts store like..........Autozone have them test it first, then you can take it into the shop.

The gas cap could be defective so replacing it may be the cheapest fix if it works. I have seen in many cases the problem is more difficult to fix that just replacing the gas cap. I would suggest trying that first before taking to the shop . The tech will most likely smoke test the system for leaks first and if none are found they should use the bidirectional controls on a scan tool to operate the evap systems individual components to make sure they are working. Goodluck

I think it's either the headlight switch or the dimmer switch. I would get a manual on your car. Head light switch you have to take apart the colum to replace it.

This seems to be engine vacuum related. Do you have a check engine light on your dash?

You may have developed a vacuum leak that the idle air controller is trying to compensate for. Or, it could also be caused by a dirty mass air flow sensor. You need to post the engine type and the other conditions the symptoms occur. It's hard to diagnose a problem on such limited information. Conditions such as engine temperature, foot on brake, in or out of gear are extremely important factors to take into consideration when solving engine performance problems.

Do you have a check engine light? It sounds like it could be a bad EGR valve or EVAP solenoid. It's hard to tell without a trouble code. There are a number of problems that can cause similar symptoms to the one you are describing.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the ignition switch. i have no idea how that is connected to the fan but... it worked, got me my fan speeds back, although it is not working again...

try tapping on the multi-function switch

Your speakers are accessible from the trunk. Get in the trunk and you will see a cover that is removeable.
