SOURCE: Buick Regal brakes

28-DEC-08
Sometimes (when changing the brake calipers on disk brakes, or changing wheel cylinders on drum brake systems) the mechanic will clamp a vise grip pliers on the rubber hose to prevent hydraulic fluid from dripping out.  This can break the internal fiber lining in the rubber hose.  Then the fluid flow can be blocked.  When you press the brake pedal, fluid may not flow to the wheel or wheels.  As you press harder, the fluid may suddenly flow through the line, causing the brakes to suddenly activate.  
Or an even more likely problem, your brakes drag (stay on) and get hot, because the fluid cannot flow back to the master cylinder when you release the brake pedal.  In other words, when you press the brake you force fluid through a partially blocked rubber hose.  But the return of the fluid (backwards through the rubber hose) is caused not by pressure, but just by equilibrium, a balancing act.  Well, if the line (rubber hose) is blocked, the fluid stays in the caliper or wheel cylinder, and the brake is still on, and the brake gets hot.

SOURCE: 1999 Buick regal Security light on. Won't start.

I had the same problem with my 95 Lesabre. The owners manual says to take the key out, and wait 3 minutes(until the light goes off). It should fire right up.

99 buick regal gse climante control board. Blows cold on driver side no mater what. Cant get it to heat on that side pulled heaater and check board cant see any problems dont know what to do next

Temp control actuator Is probably in need of replacement . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified technician .
Which HVAC system does it have
HVAC Systems - Manual
HVAC Systems - Automatic
Air Temperature Valves
The air temperature valves are positioned by the left and right electric actuators. When the temperature door is in the cold position, air is prevented from passing through the heater core. The door can be placed in any position between cold and warm by the actuator to provide any degree of warming to the air after it has passed through the A/C evaporator core.

My dash board light wont go on

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Antilock brake system.TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module

NO LED Read out for Dual Automatic Comfortemp Climate Control

This is a chronic problem on the LCD display for Buick Century/Regal cars with the climate control HVAC system. The problem is most often some of the resistors on the PCB will get a "cold solder" joint and need to be fixed by remelting the solder and adding a bit more fresh solder. Remove the unit from your dash and inspect all the solder joints. Chances are you'll see one of them that is "loose."
