Why might the dash and tail lights not work on a 1985 Buick Century?

My sister's 2002 has the same problem. The first thing I would try is to change the fuse- look on the right side of the panel next to the glove box (if it is not there, check your owners manual). If you change the fuse and it immediately blows again then it is likely a short. I am still looking for a wiring diagram to try to locate it.

How do you unlock a locked seat belt in a 2000 buick century?

My problem was a twist in the very beginning of the belt. I used a little WD-40 on the outside of the wheels retracting the belt. It took about 15 minutes but I was able to keep tugging on the belt until it released. I slowly pulled out the entire belt and voila there was a twist at the very beginning. Once the belt is fully extent you should see a label which faces upward. It works fine now.

Capitalism democracy and scientific materialism was the 20th century a century of progress?

As time has progressed we, the human race, have progressed more & more & the acceleration of that progress appears to have continued & be continuing. The fact that you can read this is, I think, demonstration of this fact. There were some factors of the history of the last century thast make it less than perfect, obviously, but does that make it different from what came before ? Time has always thrown up problems that humans have endured in one way or another, the difference is that in these times the knowledge & information is global & instantaneous, media coverage is available within a few moments from anywhere on earth. Capitalism is a fact of economic life, it affects us all whether we like it or not. Democracy is however a different subject: it is a theoretical concept. You might like to tell me you live in one & you have the vote & power is in your hands. Hah ! I tell you you are dreaming of what it might be like if it were true, Democracy doesn't exist ! And as for scientific materialism I guess, not much more than that, that the keyboard I am battering is an example of... go on, tell me what scientific materialism is, because I am not sure, in fact I am sure, I don't have the foggiest !

Buick century brake job?

The final model year for the Buick Century was 2005. The 2005 was equipped with 4-wheel disc ABS. There are multiple types of brake jobs needed for a vehicle. Basic brake work can involve replacing the front and or rear friction materials (pads). This job may or may not require the replacement or machining/turning of the brake rotors. Another aspect to a brake job will be the bleeding out and refilling the system with fresh DOT3 or DOT4 fluid. Brake overhauls are more costly and involve replacing hydraulic components such as the calipers, lines, master cylinders, and power brake boosters.

How much oil does a 3.3L V6 89 Buick Century take?

4.5 US Quarts after an oil change with filter, slightly more after engine replacement. Failing to completely drain the new bottles of oil or using an old or crappy electric oil meter may require using as much as one-half quart more.

If you change just the filter and do not drain the pan, about one-half quart (1 pint) should be about right, but why would you do that?
