SOURCE: buick century 2000 wipers

I found the following description on the web, this covers a bunch of the questions I was going to ask...

I own a 2000 Silo and wondered the same thing and do see some GM vans with this problem.

When I bought mine I also bought the Haynes Repair manual (1997 thru 2001 all models GM) #38036 to learn how to fix this and a LOT of other components in/on the van.

For $20 it's worth it.

To answer your question: If the wipers stop at the position they're in when the switch is turned off (Fail to park), disconnect the multi-function switch electrical connector. (This is located under the dash next to the firewall and steering column)

If the wipers now park, replace the multi-function switch. If the wipers still do NOT park, check the wiring from the wiper motor to the switch for a short circuit. If the circuits are good, replace the wiper motor.

Note: There are other adjustments needed for proper operation than just bolting and new motor on.

You can have a look at this manual at any automotive parts supply store.

SOURCE: how to replace a coolant level sensor, 2000 buick century

The coolant level sensor is located on the radiator. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the car it will be on the left side. There will some kind of clip holding it in the radiator. Removed the clip and pull the sensor out. You will lose coolant so try to swap it out quick or drain some of the coolant out. Once new sensor is installed, install clip to keep the sensor in place and reconnect the wires to the sensor. Crank the engine and make sure the coolant level is full. This should correct your problem.

SOURCE: 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.

SOURCE: 2000 Buick Century gas gauge reads full all the time

You're either looking at a short in the wire that goes to the fuel sender, or a bad fuel sender. If it was just a broken wire, it would read empty instead. The fuel sender is a permanent part of the fuel pump, so that has to be replaced as a unit.

87 Buick century...3.8 well maintained...had in garage for a month...all sensors have been verified..bought new computer and used old proms..still no resolve...finally took to dealer and they said a bad...

I doubt the ECM from a C body would work on your Century. I would probably buy a used computer and prom from a car exactly like yours. The prom is calibrated to the body style, engine, and trans. Each year and model can be different due to emissions standards.

Where is the ECU computer in 2000 Buick Century located?

The vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is a powerful on-board computer that controls most powertrain related functions, hence its name. Earlier versions were often called the Engine Control Module (ECM) but as the computers have become more advanced and, as more and more demands have been placed on them to control more driveline functions, the computers have come to be called Powertrain Control Modules, more accurately reflecting its increased role in vehicle operations.

The PCM in your W-Body vehicle is located underhood, in front of the right strut tower near the engine coolant reservoir.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer. Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Jose.

For a Kia sedona vehicle.. Can I buy a remanufactured ECM or say a used ECM from salvage? Would have to reprogram the ECM? Pl advise.

As long as it is the same year and engine you should not have to reprogram. Try http://car-part..com for salvage yards in your area

Computer reset

Disconnect the battery negative cable for approx 15 min. This will reset the ecm (engine computer) and the adaptive fuel strategy.
