Where is the blower motor on my 1996 Buick Century Custom? When I need repair parts for the engine I need 1997 Buick Century as my vehicle is the 3.1 w/ the "M" vin. From the research I have been able to do it looks like the 1997 proper has the blower motor located on the firewall? while the 1996 would be under the dash pass side. I hate these mid-year vehicles where they do everything all screwy. Any correct guidance would be much appreciated. I am cold and really want to replace this motor. Thanks!

More than likely it sounds like the lcd is bad and needs to be replaced, from what i understand if you take it to the dealer they will pull the miles from either your engine or from the eeprom from your cluster and then order you a refurbished one and set the proper mileage on it. I think i was quoted about 300 for parts and about 80 dollars for 1 hour worth of labor.

SOURCE: 2001 Buick Century transmission failure

Hello,

This is not a big problem with this car . I ran a garage for a bunch of years and we had a lot of them come through and me and my workers owned a few of them they are really good cars, with very few transmission problems. You just have to have your teenager not beat on it and come to a complete stop before shifting from drive to reverse or vice versa. If you have anymore questions ill be more then happy to answer them, also if you can please rate me id appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

SOURCE: 2003 Buick Century Custom and the Service Engine Soon Light

You will need to have a reputable mechanic do a diagnostic check on the car to determine the problem. This should pull up a code number in your car's computer and help point the mechanic and you in the direction of the malfunctioning part/s.

Just today, I had a diagnostic check done on mine for nearly $45.00. The mechanic was able to figure out the reason why my service engine light was staying on. I knew my car's radiator fans failed to run when car's engine was hot except when the A/C was running. I had changed out the sensors and was never able to get the light to go out or get the fans working. They were able to determine that the 25 amp fuse for the fans located under the hood was blown. After replacing it, the fans worked as they should, my car runs cooler and the engine service engine light is now out. Of course there are many possible reasons why the service engine light may come on including problems with the car's emissions. A reputable mechanic can solve your problem.

Check for broken wires in the door jamb of the drivers door. You will have to **** the rubber boot which the wires pass through to gain access. This was a very common problem for those vehicles, and there is probably more than one wire broken.

Where is the blower motor and how is it replaced on a 1988 Buick Century?

First make sure the blower is bad. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6234839-doesn_t_heater_or_air_conditioner_blow .
Below are instructions from autozone.com for replacing your blower.


REMOVAL & INSTALLATION See Figures 1, 2 and 3
This procedure is applicable for vehicles, with or without air conditioning.

  1. Disconnect the negative cable at the battery.
  2. On the 3.1L (VIN M) you will need to remove the serpentine belt and move the alternator aside. See Engine & Engine Overhaul for removal and installation.
  3. For the 2.2L (VIN 4), disconnect the air inlet resonator, then remove the torque strut from the engine. Rotate the engine slightly forward.
  4. Working inside the engine compartment, disconnect the blower motor electrical leads.
  5. Remove the motor retaining bolts. If there is a hose disconnect it, then remove the blower motor.

A/C Heater blower fan does not cycle through all speeds

Yes it is the blower Motors Resistor board. It is up behind the blower motor, just under the glove box. You have to remove the black KICK panel with its two "Push Pins" that will break too. There are 3 screws holding that resistor board in, the back two are a bear to get to. Good luck.

Replacing Blower Motor Resistor

AH YES, I REMEMBER THIS ONE. IT IS QUITE A CHORE TO REMOVE THESE BOLTS. IF YOU HAVE ONE CONNECTOR ATTACHED TO THIS RESISTOR NEAR THE BLOWER MOTOR THEN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PLACE. YOU WILL NEED A 9/32 SOCKET WITH A SWIVEL ADAPTER. THERE ARE THREE SCREWS HOLDING IT IN THE DUCT. A SMALL 1/4 INCH DRIVE RATCHET WITH A 1 INCH EXTENSION WILL MAKE THE JOB GO A BIT SMOOTHER. HOPE THIS HELPS. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. THANKS FOR AN HONEST RATING AND FOR USING FIX-YA. BEST OF LUCK. YOUR PATIENCE WILL BE REWARDED.

1997 buick century - blower stays on when car is off

The blower motor relay is stuck, holding the curcit engauged. Look under the hood, find the conveinence center, where you will find fuses and relays (read the cover, see if one says AC/Heater blower relay), if not, look in your car's manual, to see where this relay is located. When you find it, pull it out, see if the moter stops, if ti does , replace it.
