My Allure qs2 leaves one light on at a dimmer level when turned off. If I unscrew the bulb that's on, the other bulb lights up.

The light works perfect at all 3 levels. Just can't turn it completely off.

I had the brake light switch replaced by a local dealer. Cost was $140 and it fixed the problem. Have driven the car for two weeks since and no lights and all systems normal.

SOURCE: Porsche 944 S2 inaccurate petrol gauge reading and oil level warning light

This is not a known solution, but in general these cars suffer from voltage and current drops on electrical connections due to corrosion on contact surfaces. I cannot remember the number of times I have read about electrical problems on these cars, and the problem was usually solved by cleaning the electrical contacts or replacing a relay going bad (BTW, this car does use a lot of relays however I doubt there is one in the fuel gauge circuit).

Also, I have a spare gauge cluster for the 944 and when I look at it, there are some resistors on the "printed circuit" piece. If one of those were to lose tolerance, or burn open, it would no doubt have an effect on the accuracy of the circuit. I would check out that circuitry and test the resistor values as a last resort -- it is not likely the gauge itself if it is working at all. However, before doing that I would clean the electrical contacts thoroughly. I have not tried to gain access to the wiring harnesses for the gauge cluster while it is in the car, but I doubt it is possible. So, if you have exhausted all other ideas go to the Clark's Garage site for instructions on how to remove the dash, and just follow the portion that applies to removing the gauge cluster. Go to the local electronics hobbyist store, or online, and obtain a good contact cleaner and clean all of the electrical contacts while also looking for loose or broken wires. NOTE: Be careful and gentle dealing with the plastic connectors on these cars as they tend to be brittle and little tabs break off easily if man-handled. Go slow, be in the right frame of mind and use good lighting so that you can see what you are doing.

SOURCE: High Level Brake bulb replacement

If memory serves, there are two screws holding this light assy to the rear package deck. They are covered (LH and RH side of this assy). remove the covers and using a phillips screwdriver, remove the screws and lift the assy up and away from the rear glass. you now have access to the bulb and socket.

2006 colbat dome light will not work

Are you saying that the dome light doesn't work when opening the door? Or when using the dash dimmer control to activate it? Or both?
There is a position on the dimmer control of most vehicles to disable the dome light. Verify that you don't have it in that position. It is normally at the opposite end of the dimmer rotation from the position that turns the dome light on. If the light doesn't work from either the dimmer or the door switch, check the bulb. They do burn out. If you replace it, do not touch the glass of the new bulb directly when installing. They get very hot and the oils on your fingers will cause premature failure. If everything seems ok (dimmer/door switch/bulb), check for a blown fuse. Otherwise the problem is in the car wiring.

Dash light stopped working

check fuse first... check that the dimmer isnt turned all the way down... check the power coming from the dimmer switch... and if all else fails, pull the instrument cluster and check bulbs.

For some reason my headlite are not working but the fuse is good and the tail lites and all the other lites are working when i do turn on the lites the lite for the clock in the radio dims a bit

Hi, with thse symptoms, the most likely cause is a failed connection or dimmer switch, but the headlight switch is also a possibility. Your dimmer switch is integrated into the control wand. I cannot seem to find the instructions for removing the wand, but I think you remove the clamshell from the column and then unscrew the wand assembly from the column. You can test the switch by leaving the cable attached and back-probing the connector with a 12 volt test light or voltmeter. The light green wire should be hot when the headlights are turned on. Leave it on and then probe the red and purple wires. The purple wire should be hot when the switch is on low beam. The red wire should be hot when the switch is on high beams or flash position. If there is no power on the green wire, the headlight switch has failed or the green wire is disconnected or loose. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

How do you change a low beam headlight bulb on a 2008 Buick Allure?

I actually did change my low beam bulb with ease. I took pictures to help with step by step procedures.

Step 1.

Step 2.
3_24_2013_7_17_35_pm.jpg
Step 3.

3_24_2013_7_18_07_pm.jpg
Remove the red dotted plastic plugs out. So you have wiggle room.
Once removed all the red dots, where the green dots are you can gently lift it past it, and pull it towards the front away from the engine.

Step 4.
Find the white latch and pull it up to the little square:

3_24_2013_7_12_29_pm.jpg
This you will see if you have pulled to far up, it has to match up with the little white square.

Step 5.
Black Latch, pull it up just the same way for the white latch, but you will need to unscrew the lock screw.


3_24_2013_7_14_49_pm.jpg
Step 6.



3_24_2013_7_20_15_pm.jpg
The light bulb port has to be turned clockwise to unscrew, opposite to lock back it in again.
Step 7.

Once done it should like this, and you will need to a flat screw driver to pop the little clips on the side of the holder and replace bulb.

3_24_2013_7_23_02_pm.jpg
Step 8, put everything back together and you are done.

2007 buick allure headlights will not turn on parking lights work,high beams work. no low beams or daytime running lights

As you described the problem the solution is to replace the headlight bulbs, they have two elements one for normal lighting or low beam and one for high beams. the elements for the low beams are continuously used and are subject to burn sooner.

Replace low beam head lights on buick allure

Open hood, look on top of head light assm, you will see a bolt or screw, these hold assm in. remove, and pull out assm. Turn lock collar, remove old bulb, install new, BUT DO NOT TOUCH GLASS END OF BULB WITH YOU HAND, the oil from your skin will make the bulb explode when it is heated.
