Today on my way home from work I noticed that the RPM on my gauge was stuck at 0. I also noticed that there was a strange noise when I accelerated too hard. Didn't seem like the noise was happening too much at slow speeds, only when accelerating from stop, or when I accelerated at all at high...

While it is still a work in progress, I wanted to share part of my journey with replacing and upgrading the lights in the dash, which illuminate the HVAC, headlight controls, and the gauges. I would have included the radio, but since it is in the process of being replaced, I chose not to change...

Hello, just wondering if this code is gonna work. Guy I bought it from said it will fit he seemed to know what he's talking about, just wanted to double check before I decided to take it apart and rebuild it, unfortunately the guy that had this before JB welded the filter housing, great idea...

Hi everyone, I am working on my sister in laws 05 leasbre custom and have narrowed down a battery drain to the RIM. .05 amp draw after the car is asleep. Unplug the RIM and it goes away. Is there much diagnosing as far as making sure the draw is the RIM and not something it controls?

2005 LeSabre Limited with 205,ooo miles. When I bought it 7 months ago, I noted a coolant leak but the 'famous last words' now seem to be true: "it never seemed too bad, but now it's worse!" Recently we've had some really cold days, some of them ranging from 0°F to 10°F overnight. It started...

hello everyone! Sorry if this is a silly question, I’m fairly new to working on cars. My car will not start, when I turn the ignition key it just makes a one click noise. All the lights and everything work perfectly. I replaced the alternator myself about a year ago along with a new battery, I...

The windshield in my 2005 needs to go. I've scrubbed it and even used special stuff, but the scratches in the glass are bad enough that the glass will need to be replaced, especially with the days getting shorter. Bright lights (sun, street lights, moon, headlights, etc.) make it harder to see...

Hi, was doing an oil change the other day and noticed what looks like a missing bolt in the transmission. Am I crazy, can anyone confirm? Thanks!

ok, i got a good one today. I know the unlimited knowledge of the Buick family can help me out! got a 98 LeSabre. Id like to stiffen up the suspension. IE struts. i have new replacements, but was wondering if i could swap out the strut and spring from a police/taxi impala and just use the Buick...

I now have another Buick I've added to the fleet. It's a 2004 Park Avenue. It's a pretty decent running car at 200,000 miles. I have noticed interior parts are a lot more scarce than for the Lesabre. I need a center console, ash tray/lighter and driver's seat switch plastic mount. I'm in the...

Hello everyone, I recently bought a white 2004 Buick Lesabre. It’s great except there’s an ugly dent in the passenger door. So I’m thinking if I find an entire white door for a Lesabre of the 2000-2005 years I could replace it. So a couple of questions here, and any and all guidance is welcome...

Good evening everyone, A bit of background on what's going on: My car blew a brake line around Thanksgiving last year and had sat till about 3 weeks ago. A friend is helping me repair it. To summarize what's been replaced on the car due to wear & tear: -Brake master cylinder -All hard metal...

A few months ago I bought a ‘98 Le Sabre and about a few days ago the odometer got stuck at 110000 and the trip odometer stopped counting as well. I searched on what limited information is on the internet about this and I found out it could be the gear behind the odometer or the speed sensor...

I have a 93 Lesabre Limited with Dual Zone climate controls (CJ2) [Climate control head C1] The heater core leaked into my HVAC programmer and fried it so I started hunting around but they're almost impossible to find. I was unable to find any programmers with the same model number as my...

I've tried every stupid procedure possible to find and the owner's manual just said some nonsense about the dealer matching them or some garbage .. I don't think that the jumpers work for 2000-2005 either because I don't even have a pin in #8 on my OBD connector / port at all over here 🤔 I found...

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...

Hello, all! After correcting my oil pressure issue, I've arrived at the next issue for the vehicle. The check engine light is on, and the code (Checked at Autozone) was for a partially obstructed catalytic converter. Now, I live in Florida, and we do not have emissions, so I'm debating on just...

Recently had repairs done on my 2002 Buick LeSabre. After a few days, the check engine light came on again. Didn’t think much of it until the car started jerking while accelerating, it had a rough idle and eventually started having stalling problems. I lose power steering and the “VOLT” light...

Good Evening Everyone, First post and new member, I own a 2003 Lesabre Custom with 133K miles on it. Been garage kept for the past 4 years until i got it back running last year. Replaced The fuel pump, upper and lower intake gaskets, coolant elbows back in 2021. It sat for a bit then...

Hi all, I recently bought this 2003 Buick Lesabre and as the title suggest, I'm having shifting issues. The shift from 1st to 2nd gear is very long and harsh, and the rest seem to be fine. I'm pretty sure it the pressure control solenoid because everything I've read describes this as the main...
