You will have to troubleshoot to find out if the blower motor is burned out, you may have a bad control module, or check for a blown fuse. If you had a squealing noise coming from inside the dash while it was working, you can count on the motor being bad.

if your refering to the odometer lights going out this happens alot I see. one of the circuits on the back of your cluster shorts and actually gets pretty hot then some times tapping your odometer reset gets it back on usually only a temp fix :O( I read a few years back that odometers are warranteed for life by buick. dont quote me on this as it was about 8 years ago and may no longer pattain. I had mine go out. bought a new one on ebay and 2 years later say thing.

And what is the question? Brakes come apart at least once a year, for rust removal, inspection,lube & whatever machining or parts replacement is required Not every year, you have to replace anything, but they have to come apart to do what I described or they fail to work correctly Have you checked for OBD 2 System Codes?

The easiest thing to do to have that checked is go to autozone, checker or someplace like that. They test for free and can tell you what the light means. Then we can figure out what is wrong.

well there are a few things this could be. first on most dash boards up toward the window is a little square. this is usually the sun sensor. if covered or dusty the sun won`t hit is and your lights remain on. if it is damaged it will need to be replaced. there are also ways of using your lights manually. They does this with a combo or things at the same time. like putting your key in the one position and turning your lights on manually while holding a door lock or some other combo. Try pulling your battery for about 20 minutes and put it back on PS MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO DOESN`T HAVE A SECURITY SYSTEM AND IF SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE NUMBER OTHERWISE YOUR RADIO LOCKS.

run fault codes to find faulty sensors. Then there are dozens of reasons for a thirsty engine so I will list a few 1 tyre size and inflation 2 driver habits 3 blocked exhaust (cat converter faulty) 4ignition timing 5 fuel injectors 6 load in the vehicle 7 load on top of the vehicle 9 speed 10 area= Hilly --city -- stop start 11 if carby check for faulty power valve. 12dragging brakes / pads 13 fuel pressure 14 not engaging OD in automatic box 15 drive line wear 16 wheel alignment these are just a few and a combination of any will knock considerable mileage off the economy.

I think you have an engine speed sensor fault. its not reading the engine speed or the motion speed. needs these two to change speed and ( gear). one is connected to the abs unit and the other is on the engine. usually if they both go its down to the gear box ecu. you can check if you have it on a ecu reader. will have fault codes or not be read at all.

You'll need to find out if you have power to the starter cables with the key in the start position. There's not much other than the key switch or the fuse box that would kill the engine and also not allow the engine to crank. You are dealing with two different systems.

you may have to change the thermostat could be stuck . if that is not the problem then you need to bleed the air out of the cooling system near the neck were the thermostat there should be a bleed screw you need to have the car running when you do this , you start to loosen the screw little at a time without taking it out completely at some point when the car reaches temp. the coolant will start to come out of this screw when it starts to flow consistently then you close the screw and that should do it . make sure you start this process when the cars is cool never do it when its overheating .good luck

sounds like you have a bad blend door actuator some of these actuators have a small motor in it with plastic gear once that gear wears it does not mesh with the gear on the blend door arm . so you are unable to switch from cold to hot.

The solenoid located on the starter motor is going bad. You do NOT have to get a whole starter to fix this. Just replace the solenoid. You can get that part at any auto parts store.

The3 modual to repair this is $600 . take the car to a experienced electronics tech , they usually charge $50 to fix this . usually its a specific resister that needs to be replaced . Good luck
