1. Connect the distributor's B+ (battery) terminal to a switched 12-volt source, such as the ignition switch.
2. Connect the distributor's tach terminal to the tachometer signal wire, if you have a tachometer.
3. Connect the distributor's ground wire to a good engine ground.
4. Connect the distributor's #1 spark plug wire to the #1 spark plug on the engine. The #1 spark plug is usually located on the driver's side front cylinder.
5. Connect the remaining spark plug wires in firing order sequence to the distributor cap terminals. The firing order for a Buick 455 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
There is high resistance in the electrical system ,circuits , fuse/relay box etc. loose ground ,bad connection, corrosion in wiring ,these all cause heat which could cause a fire if bad enough. Your best bet have a qualified repair shop check it.
If the cluster on your 2007 Buick Lucerne CX 3.8 is showing "Drive" while the shifter says "Park" and the car won't start, there could be a few potential issues. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the shifter cable: The shifter cable connects the shifter to the transmission. If it is disconnected or broken, it can cause the shifter to not function properly. Check the cable and replace it if necessary.
Check the shift linkage: The shift linkage connects the shifter to the transmission. If it is disconnected or broken, it can cause the shifter to not function properly. Check the linkage and replace it if necessary.
Check the transmission range sensor: The transmission range sensor is responsible for detecting the position of the shifter and telling the engine control module (ECM) which gear the car is in. If it is malfunctioning, it can cause the car to not start or display incorrect gear information. Check the sensor and replace it if necessary.
Check the battery: A weak or dead battery can cause the car to not start or display incorrect information. Check the battery and replace it if necessary.
Contact a mechanic: If none of the above solutions work, it may be necessary to contact a mechanic for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or arrange for a repair of your car if necessary.
Note: Before attempting any maintenance or repair work on your car, be sure to follow all safety precautions and refer to the owner's manual for guidance. Additionally, if you are not experienced with working on cars, it may be best to seek professional help.
It is unlikely that a Chevy Impala transmission can be directly installed in a 2007 Buick Lucerne CX 3.8, as they are two different vehicles with different transmissions. The Buick Lucerne uses the 4T65E transmission, while the Chevy Impala may have different transmission options depending on the year and model. Even if the transmissions have similar designs, there may be differences in the mounting points, electronics, and other components that would prevent a direct swap. It is always recommended to use the same transmission model that came with the vehicle, or to consult with a professional mechanic or transmission specialist for proper guidance.
The stop light fuse on a 1998 Buick LeSabre is located in the rear fuse box. To access it, open the trunk and locate the fuse panel on the driver's side of the trunk. The stop light fuse is labeled "STOP LP" and is located in the top row, second from the left. It is a 15-amp fuse.
Without changing the lock, the third row seat could only be opened by hand with a flat-head screwdriver or another tool, like a crowbar. This is not advised, and you should proceed with great caution. You run the danger of further destroying the latch and seat. The latch should constantly be changed for a fresh one.
Possibly bad ground connection - G100
In back of the right headlamp on the frame. Headlamps, turn signals, parking lamp for the right all ground at that point. Corrosion in the wire, broken park lamp wire.
Headlamps, turn signals, parking lamp all have their own ground wire that connects at that point.
Hooking up a professional grade scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes in the BCM - body control module may point in a diagnostic direction.
DTC B3949: Right Front Turn Signal
Right Front Park/Turn Signal Inoperative
Circuit/System Description
The Body Control Module (BCM) controls the turn signals based on an input from the turn signal switch, part of the multifunction turn signal lever. The BCM receives an input from one of two signal circuits to determine which turn signal function is requested. When the turn signal lever is placed in the LEFT position, the left turn signal switch signal circuit is grounded indicating that left turn signal operation is requested. When the turn signal lever is placed in the RIGHT position, the right turn signal switch signal circuit is grounded indicating that right turn signal operation is requested.
When a turn signal input is received from the turn signal switch, the BCM will activate the appropriate turn signals. The BCM pulses voltage to the applicable turn signals via the turn signal lamp supply voltage circuits, illuminating the required turn signal lamps.
B3949
A short to voltage, short to ground, or an open/high resistance is seen on the right front turn signal lamp supply voltage circuit.

why would you want the stabilitrak disabled it a safety feature tied into your abs--brakes-- traction control --if disabled those and certain options may also be disabled like cruise control --remote start ---if your looking to temporarily to work on vehicle pull your abs fuse --
I WENT 50 YEARS NO A/C. EVEN AT 110F . EVEN 1 YEAR OLD.
LOTS OF CAUSES. IF TRUE.
BUT NOT ONE WORD OF PROOF IT IT DID
220F IS NORMAL AND AF DOES NOT BOIL UNTIL 255f.
SHOW PROOFS?
1: NOT RUNNING CLEAR MIX OF 50% AF IS TOP CAUSE
17 YEAR OLD COOLANT IS NEVER EVER GOOD
NOR RUNNING ONLY WATER NOT ALLOWED.
2 BAD RAD CAP , REPLACE IT,
3: COOLANT TOO LOW (EACH MORNING COLD , CAP OFF ALWAYS FULL.
4: BAD THERMOSTAT AGAIN 16 YEARS IS NO GOOD.
5: LEAKS COOLANT TO GROUND, INSIDE ENGINE OR TO PASSENGERS TOES (FOOT WELLS) IS BAD.
6: WATER PUMP BAD, RUSTED OUT IMPELLER.
7:FAN BELT LOOSE. SLIPS. TENSION-ER BAD.
8: BAD FANS, DEAD OR OLD AND SLOW.
OR SIMPLE STUFF THE CORES BOTH CONDENSER AND RAD ENGINE ARE PACKED UP IN BUG GUTS.
SO BLAST THEM OUT WITH WATER HOSE SPRAY NOZZLE.
OR GET THE CAR SERVICED IN A REAL SHOP.
THEY DO KNOW WHAT TO DO AND CHECK.
he fuel pump fuse on a 1991 Buick Century V6 is located in the instrument panel fuse block.
To access the fuse block, you need to open the driver's side door and remove the cover located on the side of the dashboard. The fuse block should be visible behind the cover.
Once you locate the fuse block, look for the fuse labeled "Fuel Pump" or "FP." The fuse should be a 20-amp fuse, and it is usually located in the bottom row of the fuse block, second from the left.
It's important to note that in some cases, the fuel pump fuse may be integrated into the main power distribution center under the hood. If you're unable to locate the fuse in the instrument panel fuse block, you may need to refer to the vehicle's service manual or consult a qualified mechanic for further assistance.
Question edited for clarity.
Fuel / Air mixture delivery issue if starter fluid gets it running.
Clean Throttle Body and MAF.
Check Fuel Pump pressure.
Clean fuel injectors.
Check spark plugs for condition and gap.
Make sure air filter is clean.
Battery voltage 13.2 volts
It helps to know the model!

Did you by any chance replace the bulb with an LED equivalent? They can cause issues and all the bulbs are monitored by the BCM, plus the load on an LED bulb is very tiny to be nonexistent.
Also test that the new bulb actually works. Because bulbs use common grounds, strange things can happen if one light goes out and can affect others using the same ground.
