How do you change a rear turn signal bulb in a 2002 Buick LeSabre?
First it's best to have an extra pair of hands to help you.
You have to open the trunk first. Then look at what would be the back side of the whole light assembly. There are approx. 8-10 nuts that are attached to the bolts/posts of the rear light assembly. Remove the nuts, lower the trunk lid to about waist high and carefully pull the assembly straight out. Watch that you don't scratch your paint with the posts. Have your helper hold the assembly while you remove the light socket for the bulb you want to replace by turning socket counter clockwise about a quarter turn and pulling straight out. Replace bulb and reverse process

See sources and related links below for replacement bulb information. Then consult your owner's manual for the turn signal light bulb replacement procedure. As simple as it sounds, the owner's manual is the best place to start for bulb replacement instructions and illustrations. You may want to consider replacing both left and right at the same time in order to keep brightness and color equal (optional).

Where is the battery located on the 2001 Buick Lesabre?
This battery is not located in the usual place (i.e., under the hood). It is located under the back seat. It also has acid gas vent hoses attached to it, which must be removed before the battery can be taken out. This battery has side terminal connectors.
I had the heater controls from a 1998 Grand Prix out at one time and when I put them back in I plugged every harness that was there back in. It turns out that one of the harnesses only needs to get plugged in to show temperature in Celsius. I don't know if this will apply to a lesabre, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
How do you repair a 93 Buick LeSabre when the column shifter interlock is stuck in park?
I have a similar problem on a 92 LeSabre, which I have yet to fix, since my daughter drives the car. In the short term we found that releasing and stepping on brake pedal several times may do the trick in the short term.
From looking in a few manuals as well as a brief discussion with a couple of repair shops I called for estimates, it could be a problem with the switch at the brake pedal either being improperly adjusted or a switch failure, or a problem with the shift interlock solenoid in the steering column. This switch powers a solenoid in the column to allow the shift lever to be moved out of park. It appears from schematics that one could test the solenoid by hooking a +12 V jumper (a long piece of wire from your local hardware hooked to the +terminal on your battery) directly to the dark green/white striped lead off the brake switch (the one switch that does not have the large vacuum hose to it, but does have a total of six wires associated with it). If, when the jumper is hooked up, and the ignition is turned to on, one can shift out of park, then the solenoid should be working 'Ok' and either the switch needs adjustment or replacement. Adjustment instructions can be found on various web sites or in a Chiltons manual at your local library, although it looks like one simply pushes the switch in as far as possible, then pulls up on the brake pedal until it stops moving or the switch stops clicking, and the brake lights stay off when the brake pedal is released. Also check that the brake lights go on when the pedal is depressed.
Estimates for repair ranged from about $30 for a switch related problem to about $150 if the solenoid needed repair (about $70 labor and about $70 for a replacement solenoid). So it can't be too hard to take the solenoid out and repair/replace the solenoid as $70 labor is only an hour or so of labor costs. Again, instructions can be found in various places on the web.
If you want to try it yourself, you need to remove the lower plastic shield on the dash, just above the pedals. The solenoid itself isn't in the steering column, but visible from under the dash on the left side (drivers left)between the column and the parking brake. It has a bright grey, almost galvanized finish on it. If you put the keys in, and turn the ignition to "on", then push on the brake pedal, you should be able to see the linkage move and hear the solenoid. The moving part of the linkage is mounted to the solenoid bracket with a 10 mm nut. You can also turn the ignition key to "on", then manually move the linkage at the solenoid to see if the shifter releases. The solenoid has a resistance of about 14 ohms when measured with an ohmmeter. You can use a jumper as mentioned above to put +12 Volts on the solenoid by running a wire from the upper (or "electrically hot") part of fuse 15 (which is the courtesy lights fuse)to the dark-green with a white stripe wire on the 4 wire connector that goes to the brake switch that does not have the vacuum hose on it. When 12 volts are applied you should be able to see the solenoid move and hear it too. The shifter won't release unless the ignition key is also in the "on" position.
How do you replace the front turn signal bulb located on a 2002 Buick LeSabre?
If you can't get to the rear of the light you may have to take the light off and the bulb just turns clockwise to remove it.
. I had to use the JACK to slightly lift the vehicle up enough for me to get my BIG head under the left front corner and look up into the bumper area. I removed 4 plastic push/pull TABs (that look similar to screws). I first removed 2 push/pull tabs that hold the lowermost horizontal plastic protective cover (black in color) to the adjacent front bottom bumper protective plastic. I also removed 2 push/pull tabs that fasten the same lowermost horizontal plastic protective cover to the adjacent 'wheel side' protective cover near the internal fender cover. This allowed me to then bend and mold the horizontal black protective cover up toward the hood so I could view the inner portion of the plastic bumper where the electronic connector (bulb) inserts into the yellow front blinker housing. I twisted the connector and it pulled out giving me access to the bulb. I purchased a new bulb, protective coating jell, coated the connector and replaced the bulb. Re-installed the connector, twisted it into place and reassembled the protective covers and re-inserted the push/pull tabs. Worked great and was very easy.
