I have a 2003 Buick Century and the odometer light is out

I have a 2003 Buick Century and the odometer light is dim at engine start. When I release the emergency brake the headlights come on, which is normal, but the odometer light goes very dim almost out completly. Is this a problem that involves the car computer in any way, or is this strickly a matter of the odometer light onl? If the problem involves the car computer, where is it located and how do i get at it ?

    i'll check on your computer location. meanwhile it sounds like you may have a ground in the odometer light wiring. i'll try to find a wiring diagram.

You need to remove the circuit board and replace 4 resistors.. It's really easy. This is if your shift indicator and odometer lights don't work. Just search using the above sentence there are several videos online that show this.

On the left of the steering wheel there is a nob.. turn it all the way right before the click, it will turn the lights brighter.. also if you pull the nob out, the headlights will turn on/off manually.

Time to wander through the spaghetti of wires and contacts with voltmeter looking for a closed circuit to ground. Sounds like the radio is where to start.

1999 buick century odometer light does not work

this is a common problem and the dash cluster must be removed and sent out for repair, cost is about $175 to replace the LED (Light emitting diode) display that has burned out, this is a faxtory defect as far as this expert is concerned, it is not a fuse problem.
