The Battery on my 1998 Buick Riviera keeps running down..I have replaced the battery twice but the problem is still there.I had an Auto electric expert check it out and he repaired the Fuse panel which sits under he rear seat next to the Battery.It was good for a week but today I couldn't start the car again.The outside temp was 12 degrees so that is not an issue...this problem has caused me a lot of stress and financial loss...don't know what to do next.

no you have a bad connection somewhere causing the problem. clean and tighten the battery terminals and make sure they are tight as they would cause what is going on with your vehicle

SOURCE: 1998 Buick Riviera battery

Make sure that you have the ventilation tubing when replacing the battery. The car is designed to vent battery gases from beneath the car. Substituting a different type battery (without vent ports, a small hole that is located at each end of the battery ) or if you decide to use the battery without the ventilation tubing, you run the risk of an explosion. This is due to the proximity of the battery to the fuel pump, which is also located beneath the seat.Underhood batteries vent naturally into the air within the engine compartment. In your car there is a small hole in front of your battery that leads to the underside of your car.Your tubing is designed to carry the battery's vapors way and direct it out of your car through this hole.

I replaced the battery in my 98 Riviera last month. This past weekend, after driving the car all afternoon, everything on the dash went blank. No power at all to anything. Where do I start looking for...

As you just had the battery replaced, I would start with the connections there. After that, have your battery and alternator tested. Sometimes, batteries are bad right out of the box!

The battery keeps running down when the car sits idle for a few days. The alternator has been tested and verified to be in good working order.

most obvious cause is a diode in teh alternator but it could be the boot light thats another favourite ,or just the battery is sulphated up and needs desulphating as follows -discharge battery with 6 watt bulb when completely flat put on a trickle charge ,when fulkl discharge again and then recharge ,4/5 times and the battery amp hour capacity will improve ,then it will take a month to go flat which is about right on a modern car unless it has a shut down mode ,

Do I have to disconnect the battery to replace electronic brake control module on a 1995 Buick Riviera

It's best to disconnect the battery when replacing any type of component, if it gets a power surge from the battery and burns up the module, most likely it can't be taken back for return. Save yourself the headache and disconnect the battery.

Supercharger

Yes, you can replace the pulley. Keep in mind, look at the other surrounding parts and replace any that may seem warn as you are taking the assembly apart make sure you won't have to do the job twice if other parts look like they are worn.
