The Buick Century is equipped with a multi-switch. This switch is an all in one switch that controls your cruise control, windshield wipers and turn signals in one switch. This switch also controls dimming and brightening of your headlights. The dimmer switch is simple to replace, and all you need is a phillips head screwdriver to complete the task.

  1. Removing the Steering Column Shroud
    • Removing the dimmer switch starts at the steering column. To plan this task out, access the steering column by removing the screws holding the steering column shroud in place. This will expose the turn signal lever. Remove the lever by twisting it forward, and pulling it out of the switch.
    Removing the Dimmer Switch
    • The switch is held on by two screws and a wiring harness. The wiring harness can be removed by prying up on the locking tabs and pulling the connector out of the socket. The two screws can be removed with a phillips head screwdriver. The switch will slide out. To install a dimmer switch, be sure to repeat these steps in reverse order.

2004 Buick Rainier AWD headlights went out while driving

Possible the headlight/dimmer switch is bad. Should be part of the turn signal switch assembly. Try moving the switch back and forth many times to see if the connection is bad.

Headlights do not work, high beams will not stay on

check fuses and relay first if good than more than likely---if when u use lever to turn on but wont stay on or dont go on at all would show that the multi switch (inside column ) either broke (plastic) or wore out ---

02 Buick century the passenger low headlight not working but high beam is. I checked fuses inside the car what others things can I check.

There should be a left and right fuse and a relay involved.
The lights get power from the fuses, and the headlight switch and dimmer switch provide the ground circuit. So if you check the headlight plug with a meter you should have power and ground for high and low beam.

Where is the headlight low beam relay switch located on my car?

Look in the owners manual. Most like under hood on top of fire wall fuse and high amp. Relays under cover.

My headlights and running lights don't work and my high beams barely stay on. Sometimes I have to hold up the high beam lever to make them stay on. I have checked the circuit breakers and they are not

On this model the headlight switch provides ground for the lights.
You have a right and left 15amp fuse for the headlights, not circuit breakers.
The parking lights use 3 different fuses. The headlight switch sends power to the body computer which activates a parking lamp relay.
Those components would need to be tested to verify the problem.

1999 Buick Headlights will not come on

Did you check the headlight switch ?
The high beams working bypass the headlight switch so you can flash to pass another car.

1999 buick century. headlights won't come on automatically. Nor will they come on when pulling out the headlight knob. Bright lights will turn on if I hold (and continue to hold) the turning signal switch....

Sounds like you don't have power to the switch or the auto switch.When you pull on the turn switch you are just flahing the high beams.Almost all gm's will do that.Would try and check fuses or get a wiring digrahm and see were the power comes from to feed the switch.If you work on apliances its about the same.Well good luck
