Buick Lucerne

On a 2007 Buick Lucerne, the purge or vent solenoid is typically located near the charcoal canister, which is situated under the vehicle, towards the rear, near the fuel tank. To access it, you may need to lift the car safely and remove any protective covers. The solenoid itself is usually mounted to the canister or nearby on the vehicle's frame. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and diagrams.

To reset the low tire pressure light on a 2006 Buick Lucerne, first ensure that all tires are properly inflated to the recommended pressure. Then, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without starting the engine. Press and hold the "SET/CLR" button on the dashboard until the tire pressure light blinks and then turns off. Finally, start the engine, and the light should remain off if the tire pressures are correct.

If your 2006 Buick Lucerne won't shift out of park when cold, it could be due to a few issues. One common cause is a malfunctioning brake light switch, which may not be signaling that the brake pedal is pressed, preventing the shift interlock from releasing. Additionally, low transmission fluid levels or issues with the transmission itself could contribute to this problem. It's advisable to have the vehicle checked by a mechanic to diagnose and resolve the issue.

On a 2006 Buick Lucerne, the fuel filter is integrated into the fuel pump module, which is located inside the fuel tank. To access it, you'll need to remove the fuel tank, as it is not a separate, easily replaceable component. If you're planning to replace the fuel filter, it's often recommended to replace the entire fuel pump assembly due to their integrated design. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for detailed instructions.

It's under the back seat along with the brain boxes for the car as well as a fuse panel. Great place to put a battery for a sub in the trunk.

Push the menu button, and up will come a picture of a clock. Push the HH button until to get the hour you want and the MM button until you get the minute you want. Press exit.

It can get 17 MPG non-highway and 26 MPG on the highway. This is for the 2009 model so double check yourself.

Buick is an American car company.

The battery is under the back seat. Remove cushion and remove Black--Negative cable first. It's a side-post terminal.Put the dielectric grease on the threads. Swap batteries and the car will run rough for a few minutes while the UCE 're-learns' but that is normal and nothing to be concerned about

The thermostat is mounted under the throttle body behind the water outlet to the upper radiator hose. Find your upper hose on the drivers side front and follow it down below the throttle body to the end of the hose. That is the thermostat housing.It is very helpful to remove the throttle body first, then removing the upper water outlet bolt completely, only remove the lower bolt 85% of the way. The bottom hole is slotted. Remove the water outlet and the old tstat and sealing gasket. Install the new tstat which should come with a new seal. Slip the outlet down onto the still installed lower bolt, and then install the upper bolt Tighten the lower bolt. Reinstall the throttle body. There is a special fill procedure to follow for this engines cooling system. Open the bleeder screw on the water outlet by the thermostat, and above the water pump. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mix of Dexcool and water. Add the mix until only the coolant and water mix comes out of the bleeders and not air. Close the bleeders and then start the engine.

Answer from a 1999 Buick Century owner: Having just done this to my 99, it's complicated. 1st, make sure you have your new thermostat, coolant, and a throttle body gasket. Yes you have to remove the throttle body, and replace the gasket. Also, a wide, short standard screwdriver, socket set with 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 1/2 sockets, and a 1/2" crescent wrench with the round end. I'll explain later. Next thing you need to do is unhook your negative battery cable, this will ensure the fan wont kick on while your fingers are in it, and jack up the car a few inches for a drain pan. Then you need to drain the radiator. To do that, open the radiator cap near the battery and grab a wide standard screwdriver, I used a 4" stubby. The drain plug is at the bottom corner of the radiator on the drivers side. You can see it from the top. I removed the chin spoiler to make it easier to access the plug. Insert the screwdriver and turn the plug 1/4 counterclockwise, and pull/pry off. Should come off easily. While that spills everywhere, head up top and begin by removing the sensors. There are 5 of them, they are color coded, write it down. They kinda fall back into place easily, and remove the intake hose from the filter box and the throttle body. Easy stuff is done, now you have to remove the throttle body. There are 2 bolts to remove, the 1st in top front, under the black bar holding the throttle cables. The 2nd is lower rear and has 2 nuts, the 1st nut unhooks the coolant line (The black pipe with the 2 rubber hoses leading into the t-body.) The 2nd is a pain to get too. You need a deep well socket and a small prybar. Use some ingenuity with the prybar and you'll get it off. Then, remove the 2 hoses from the coolant line. Not easy. The t-body "should" come right off. With that out of the way you can now see the therm housing. It also has 2 bolts, similar locations. The top is easy to remove, the bottom isn't. It;s wedged between the block and the exhaust with minimal clearance. The only way I could get it off was to use a 1/2" crescent wrench, with the round end, and use the round end to ever so slowly, loosen the nut. You're stuck under the fuel lines, and other junk so be patient. When you get that off, the therm comes right out, replace and work backwards. Good luck, it took me over 4hrs.

Above instructions are right on and saved me a ton of time and work....thanks to the poster. The only added comment is on the lower T-stat bolt, I was able to use a short (4") 1/2" box end wrench to remove the bolt. You have to be patient and be willing to contort your hands to reach the bolts, but it is rewarding to complete and save some labor charge since the T-stat itself is about $7. Good luck.

The 2006 Buick Lucerne takes 24" drivers and 21" passenger side wiper blades. See sources and related links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments, do not buy wipers just by length only. Be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

From the owner's manual: "If your vehicle has the 4.6L V8 engine (VIN Code Y), use premium unleaded gasoline with a posted octane rating of 91 or higher. You can also use regular unleaded gasoline rated at 87 octane or higher, but your vehicle's acceleration could be slightly reduced, and you might notice a slight audible knocking noise, commonly referred to as spark knock." So you can use either regular, mid-grade, or premium. I have not noticed any loss of acceleration or spark knock by using 87 octane fuel.

The 2007 Buick Lucerne has the newer style and more rare "pinch tab" wiper arms. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages - note that not all wipers will fit on pinch tab arms so be sure to reference the make, model and year of your vehicle for the brand wipers you choose to purchase. Pinch-tab compatible wipers are a little bit trickier to find. Locate and press the tabs where the wiper blade meets the wiper arm then tip or rotate the wiper down out of the tab attachment, then rotate slightly so you can remove the little hook at the end out of the hole. The video below shows this in the reverse order but you'll get it.

If you're looking to just replace the bulbs only, you can gain access to the bulbs from the backside by removing some of the plastic rivets that secure the black plastic inner fender and pull the inner fender out of the way enough to get your hand on to the bulb socket. Twist the socket counter-clock-wise to release it. Drop it down and unplug the harness connection.

Sure it will work but the question is will it change your vehicle in a positive manner. The answer to that is no. The correct size tire for your car is 245/50-18. If you install a 245/40-18 tire your speedometer will be off by at least 5 mph. Your car will also use more fuel, and ride and handle differently, and not in a positive way. So why would you want to use the wrong size tire?

Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Kansas City, Omaha ... I guess it depends on what you mean by "major cities" Chicago is the 3rd Largest in the US with ~2,900,000, St. Louis has the 16th largest metro area in the US with ~2,800,000, Detroit is the 10th largest US city with ~900,000, Indianapolis is the 12th with ~800,000, and Columbus is 15 with 730,000.
