I also have been having problems with removing my key from the ignition. It locks into place and I have to wait until I hear a click, or restart the car and try to move the vehicle. It has 90,000 miles.
In addition, I recently had my ABS lights and Trac Off lights and Service Engine Lights come on when I was driving and they would not go off when the car was turned off. I had the electrical system hooked up to a computer for diagnostics, but the system wasn't able to be reset and I was going to bring it back in later for more testing. That night I went back and changed out my air filter and passenger compartment air filter (which was filthy). After starting my car up, all three lights went off automatically and haven't come back on since. Dirty air in the computer?
Also, I have some electrical wires that are connected to the air filter hose, between the air filter unit and the engine. Can anyone tell me what they are for?
Thank you
Hi All,
My 1994 Buick Regal Custom 3.1 v/6 Automatic... quit
NO Juice; I got in turned on key, turned to start and it turned over maybe twice - just a couple seconds and then all went dead;.......No dash lights...no head lights.....no doom light.....no radio.....no blinkers.....no power period !
I thought the battery(?) I had it towed home. Took the battery into be tested and it was a ok - excellent! So I tested the wiring with a ohms meter and a 12 volt tester.
I found juice to both fuse boxes that are under the hood. And all fuses were fine. The starter tested good. The alternator tested bad terminal and so I replaced it.
Still no power; same as before. I am thinking the dead alternator caused the problem.....But I do not know where to look now?????
Any ideas?

Here is what happens:
The tach, speedometer, fuel and Temperature gages do not move, and all are on "0". The following lights come on: Service Vehicle Soon, Anti Lock Brakes, Perf Shift, Trac off, Air bag, Low fuel light. The trip odometer and odometer are lit, but do not register mileage.
I can turn the car off, then back on and everything will work. This issue can happen when I turn the car on, or while I am driving. One time this issue happened for about 5 minutes, then everything started working again. Nothing else is affected, my climate control still works, sun roof works, electric windows work, headlights work, etc.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this issue. I called my local dealer, and it sounds like they will only be able to troubleshoot this if the issue happens to them.
Any advise or recommendations will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
Thanksfor your input.

as weel as http://www.carforums.net/showthread.php?mode=hybrid&t=418 saying: Buick Regal LS Engine dies with turn signals. Took it to the dealer and after a couple days with it, they changed out the ignition switch. I have been driving it for about a year now and have had no problems since.
Any help is appreciated.
To make a long story short, I read that a dirty chip embedded in your ignition key can result in many false readings as you start the car. With a soft, dry toothbrush I cleaned the entire key included the chip and it was happy motoring for many miles thereafter w/o the dash lighting up.
This is all I have...hope it is of some help...

there is no attempt to lock on any switch or the remote. Do you have any suggestion.
