You have to remove and dismantle each switche and solder in a new bulb on the inernal printed curcuit board ... time consuming and tediously precise work ... the bulbs are 14 volt 0.065 amp minature ... part number is 8111 (you need the ones with wire leads) and are available on eBay at US $1.00 each (search 8111 bulb) ... in my 04 LeSabre there were some 35 such bulbs throughout the all of the switches and buttons! By the way, if you ran the dash lights at half brightness the bulbs last a lot longer, even 2 volts less (than the rated 14 volts) extends the life more than 3x. Best wishes with the replacement!

2005 bUICK park avenue ultra, the climate control indicator goes dim, I hit the dash and the light comes on stronger
There are 3 things to think what can be the problem.
1. there is a day/night sensor on the dash.{not working properly}
2. there is a variable dimmer for the cluster illumination. loose connector or terminals.
3. The display itself.{can be defect} loose connection at the display or terminals.
lot of work.

Hope it helps.

98 buick century , with auto climate control ,
is it HOT or just not as cold. If its HOT, like heated air, there is a door problem, if its just not cool, the a/c refridgerent is low and will need a recharge, most likely the comp is leaking.

Odometer light out on buick century not working
Sadly no, there is no fuse or bulb to replace. You either have to send the instrument cluster out for repair or replace it with a new unit from the dealer. You could also obtain a serviceable one from a salvage yard. Most shops should be able to replace the instrument cluster or advise who can repair it.

Need to replace tail light bulb on 1996 Buick Century
Inside the trunk, under the carpet behind the tail lights will be a whole bunch of small plastic nuts, running from one side of the car to the other. Take all of these plastic nuts off, and the whole tail light assembly will come off in one large piece. Find the bulb you need to replace, and reassemble
