I have a buick century 94 and the back windows lower only halfway. My understanding is that it's for child safety. Since I have no small children I want to get the windows all the way down. Is there a way to do this?
Any suggestions appreciated.
My Girlfriend has a 98 Century with around 100k on it.
It's been running hot since the weather got warm in March/April.
It never actually red-lines and it's never actually overheated (as in, blowing the pressure valve) but it does creep up very close to redline.
This is especially true in city traffic, and, in fact, it runs relatively close to centerline on the highway.
Turning the heater on full-blast does, indeed, help counter the problem, although it sucks a lot in the summer heat.
I never drive her car and just found out last week the extent of the problem (that is, that it's happening regularly)
I'm absolutely NOT a car-guy, although I'm an engineer so I'm able to troubleshoot these things and follow directions.
Anyway, I topped off the overflow tank w/ Dex-cool (although it didn't need very much) and that's made no effect.
I'm going to take a look at it tonight or tomorrow and I was hoping for some advice on what to look for.
My initial reaction when she told me today that running the heater pushes the temp gauge back down is that it's an airflow issue, and my instinct was to watch and make sure the fans turn on.
She's been watching lately and she doesn't have any coolant leaks.
Also, my thinking is that if she had a coolant-flow problem, why would running the heater help? Or, for that matter, running on the highway?
I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer! I'm new here, and i was directed here after asking around on the Volvo forums i usually frequent.
Thanks a million!

cluster module, part of the headlamp switch or a separate
unit behind the dash somewhere?
Any elaboration is appreciated.
Thanks, Joe
you click it all the way down, and sometimes not. Sometimes
if I nudge the stick just a little, it works. But if you
click it all the way down, no guarantee). I already checked the Hazard lights, & all bulbs work. My question is, some people have said to check a "Mulifunction Switch" and some
have talked about the "Flasher". What's the difference in these parts?
Thank you very much,

We have had the car to two local garages, neither know what causes the problem, but both want to pull the engine and put in a new one to the tune of $4000. I have not taken the car to the dealer yet. Does anyone have any idea about what could cause such a problem? I certainly don’t want to drop this much money on the car, but I am puzzled why no one can say what’s wrong. Ideas????? Hvaughn.
Do I need a charge or replace the battery?
I would worry about this tomorrow when I return home from work.
Do you think the car will start tomorrow ?
1. My reverse lights and license plate lights do not work. it isnt a fuse or the bulbs.
2. when my trunk light is on, the lights across the trunk lid also light up. They shut off when i pulled the bulb out of the trunk light.
3. Last week, the door/trunk light came on on my instrument panel. The light will shut off when the car is in reverse, or if the parking lights are on.
If anyone knows anythign about these problems, please let me know.

Our buick is doing the same thing. Did you ever find out what the problem was. Thanks for any help. Tony

I'm confused! It's hard to do with little tools and experience? My neighbors just look out the window and watch. I wonder what they thought when I changed my battery.

Was wondering if someone can help me out here. This morning I started my car (buick Century 1994) and when I switched into gear I accidently went to the 3 mark. When I tried to go back to D the needle did not wanted the move on the display. The car switched into gear because I can hear it, but the needle is stuck at the 3. What can I do to let it go back to P and then move when I switch the gear.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks :confuse:
