shocks are leaking .. should i replace with air shocks again or just install regular shocks. we seldom carry heavy loads in rear seats/trunk. our main concern is $$$. Tx, Bob W
I'd have them checked first to determine if it is actually the shocks, or possibly just a loose or cracked line, which should be a pretty inexpensive fix. If it turns out to be shocks, weigh it out then.

I have a 2004 Builck Lesabre purchased in July 2008. I tried my drivers side heated seat and it didn't work. The passenger sicde worked @ that time. I took the car back into the dealer I purchased it from and they told me that the drivers side thermastat needed replaced. The service was performed and my seat worked for 1 week and quit. ALSO, I tried the passenger side heated seat @ this time and NOW , it doesn't work!! I am so aggravated. What would casue both seats not to work now? The dealer wants me to bring it back in but claims their work on the drivers side should not effect the passengers side seat. Any suggstions?
The problem is most likely caused by shorted heating grids in the seat cushion itself, kind of like the heating element in an electric blanket, very expensive to replace.

my heated seats wont work. i have replaced the switch (the new switch does not light up either). i have also checked the fuses and they are both good.
I had this problem, but only on the driver's side (with leather seats). Sometimes the switch would come on, but I could not get it to go back off (and the seat would not heat).
I ended up removing the drivers front seat cover (only the bottom part), folding it back from the driver's door to the middle of the car. You also have to unplug the wiring harness underneath the seat. I found a black spot burned in the foam. This is where a wire had broken. I carefully pulled the wire together, then soldered it. I put everything back together, and it has been working ever since (about 6 months - and getting lots of use in the middle of the winter).
I think the only way to replace the heated seat wires is to replace the whole seat cover. I was glad I could fix mine by soldering it.

Where are the fuse boxes for a 2003 Buick Lesabre?
If it is like the 2002, one is in the engine compartment near the jumping post. The other is under the back seat.

i'll like to see a serpentine belt diagram for a 2003 le sabre.
Since there is NO sticker under the hood of this 2003 Buick LeSabre and it is not in the owner's manual, a Google search revealed that it is the same as at http://www.fixya.com/cars/t3438653-change_serpentine_belt_1998_buick

Manuel Parking brake release the parking brake is stuck and we are trying to get it released how do you do it?
Foot Park Brake...
There should be a release lever(not the main release) up at the top of the park brake arm, under the dash. Its small, 1.5 to 2 inches long. I recommend using a screwdriver to "flip It", keeping your fingers and hand and your face for that matter, away from the arm. It is spring loaded and will release/move very fast. Also it could just be that someone unitentionally stepped on the pedal really hard, and it will take the same amount of foot pressure to release it while pulling on the release handle.
Hand Park Brake...
Again the same principle applies. It will take the same pressure applied to release it. Push in ******* the release while pulling up ******* the handle. This one can also be released by using a screwdriver to pop the the locking tab.
