Both my remotes no longer work. I will be ordering new ones off Ebay and having my dealer program them. New ones from Buick are very pricey.

SOURCE: how to install/change complete headlight assembly

Buick Lacrosse - The bright light fitting is the same as the dim so take it apart first to see how the cover screws off/on and the light comes out. Both the cover and the bulb are removed by a standard twist to the counterclockwise and replaced by a twist to the clockwise. Now to the dim light. You have to release the entire light assembly before you can remove the screw-on cover to reach the light. On the rear edge of the light unit closest to the engine is a white locking tab. Pull that tab up just to the point where it releases…pull too far and it locks again. Next, locate the other locking bracket which is a metal bracket in the center-rear of the light assembly. This bracket is held down by a screw. Remove the screw with a 10mm wrench. Lift the bracket just like you did the white bracket. You should now be able to pull (or pry) the entire light unit forward a little. Depending on the size of your hands this might be enough. If not, then you need to release the plastic bumper assembly to give you a little more space. This is done by removing two expansion locking pins, one that holds the little plastic strip down between the bright and dim lights and one that is located inside a rubber bumper on the engine side of the light unit. To remove these locking pins, pull or pry up the little tab in the center of the pin just like you were pulling a nail by the head. That should give you more space.

My 2006 Buick Lacrosse engine light is on. It scans coolant thermostat but I am having no trouble with the thermostat. It warms up properly and does not over heat.

I had a similar issue and queried it twice with the dealership and my tyre guy. The tyre guy was the most helpful told me that the ECM looks for the temperature to rise so many degrees in a certain number of minutes and points to a failing thermostat. Like you I said my heating works fine. The Engine Light bugged my so the next time I got my Winter/Summer tyres changed, I had the thermostat changed and the problem was fixed. You need a new thermostat.

How many blend door actuators on 2005 Buick lacrosse

If you have separate heat/cool selections for the driver and the passenger, you have two blend door actuators, otherwise just one. You also have a mode door actuator, a recirculating door actuator, and possibly a defrost door actuator.

Replacing blend door actuator for 2005 buick lasabre

2008 Lacrosse

Condition: no heat.

Diag: Hot In and Out hoses radiator, hot in and out to Core which means fluid good and thermostat opening. Bled air out of thermostat.

Fix: while listening for click of BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR (Electric CONTROLS) I manual set temp cold to hot back and forth. HEAT now.

Reason: COVID from sitting almost two years due to not needing three cars commute (WFH) since COVID.
Guess they got stuck from sitting there. I kept telling everyone to "exercise" their cars every week or so by driving and not just starting them.

Hearter isn't heating up

There is so many reasons for not getting heat. Is the Antifreeze full? Does it have climate control? The air blend doors have to be checked and make sure there working properly. It is possiable the engine have a blown head gasket and creating an air pocket. Out of all the posabilities the engine Thermostat is the most comon problem.
