electrical issues

Good Morning, I am sort of at a crossroads here, I had some charging trouble with my 98 which has since been remedied. But in the midst of the charging issues, I noticed my transmission wouldn't downshift if I leaned into the throttle a little bit like it usually would. Instead the engine lugs...

So I was driving home yesterday. The car seemed fine. The cassette player was skipping a little. That was about it. When I pulled into the driveway, I shut the car off and the interior lights wouldn't turn off. Waited a couple of minutes. Checked all my light switches. Turned the car on again...

05 LeSabre Custom, I've posted about her in the past. I've been having an issue since October with starting the car. Between Oct and Dec, she would typically not turn over, but the radio, A/C, dash lights, etc all came on. No ticking noise or anything while attempting to turn over. I thought it...

I just bought a 2001 LaSabre at 97,000 miles, for $2600. But on three occasions, I would be trying to back out of a driveway or a parking space, and the voltage light would come on. Soon after, the car would lose all power. After a few attempts, the car would restart. Before I parked the car, I...

I have a 2010 Buick LaCrosse with a 3L engine. A few months ago while driving everything died and within a few seconds everything turned back on. Since then it has continued to do it where he can die for anywhere from a fraction of a second to about 2 seconds. It can do this repeatedly over...

Having issues with the service vehicle soon message on the DIC of my 06 Lacrosse. I've checked every exterior light, I've checked every fuse, I have no other warnings, and I cannot figure out what is giving me this message. I took it to a dealership to have the BCM read. I had recently fixed...

Car started misfiring on the way to work, running really rough. Got codes P0204 and P0304, as well as the 'service traction control and service stabilitrak' messages. I checked the cylinder 4 injector with a noid light and the light is constantly on when the engine is running, the other...

First, Forgive me if I sound ignorant because this my first post on the forum. Hey guys. I have a 1995 RMS, and since I've bought the car the interior lights haven't worked. I've been busy fixing other small problems typical for these, including just about every window regulator guide clip...

In short, nothing works from the Drivers window switch assembly, as well as the trunk switch below it. All passenger windows work from their own switches. I could not find a schematic, but a bit of common sense logic on the matter would help. What I'm wondering. Is there another piece of...

Hello Folks. I am trying to find out if an issue is a common flaw. Sixth Generation Buick Century's (1997-2005) Maybe all W-Bodies, or even all GM's of the era, I am not sure. But lets focus on Sixth Gen Century's, for now. I remember seeing all kinds of electrical gremlins being...

I got an 06 CXL that displays a few messages on the DIC. ABS, Traction control, variable effort steering, and stability control are displayed but every now and again ill start the car and all messages will be gone. The steering becomes much much more responsive and the TC button works. does this...

My car has been losing power at random times and so I replaced the ignition switch myself (this is a common problem in GMs from '97 to '04). It seemed to fix the problem because I haven't lost power since. However, the headlights are very dim and I don't know what the cause of the problem is...

I have a 2011 Buick Lacross CXL (with a 4 cylinder engine). Last week, when I came out from work to drive home, the windshield wipers were on (but moving very slowly). I was unable to start the car, nothing worked, the car was essentially "dead." A friend came offered to jump start the car...

Car dies after about 2 minutes of driving at highway speed. After killing, the car will start but as soon as the key returns to the run position the engine stops. Before driving the car I took some amp readings. I disconnected the negative cable, put one probe on the cable, and the other on...

My 1999 Buick Century rear driver's side turn signal/brake light will occasionally go out. I suspect either a short or a break in the line. I recently had to replace the bulb and it worked fine for a time. Then for no apparent reason it started to not work. It is not consistent in it's working...

I have a 'unique' issue with my turn signals maybe someone more knowledgeable with the wiring of the 1994 can help me with. I had a deer walk out in front of my 1994 a few months ago, and did significant damage to my right front. I had to remove the shattered RF fender, I replaced the right...

Hi all, I've seen other threads regarding no doors other than the driver door with non-functioning power and I wasn't sure how to search for this particular issue. My rear driver side door won't lock with the others - window works fine and the door actually locks if you flip the switch manually...

Hello, I have a 99 Buick Park Ave. A few weeks ago most electrical systems died, The wiper blades, power windows, instrument cluster, radio, HVAC, all just stopped working but yet they have power going to them and some have some functions still operable. Power windows will work with...
