Take the car to an accredited auto electrician and have the alternator, regulator and charge system checked
the light is an indicator that something is wrong and the battery is not getting a charge

Having problem boosting my 2002 buick lesabre

Sounds like the last car I bought with"no problems!"
Start with a charged battery and clean all corrosion off cable connections before installing and tightening. Check your battery ground for a clean tight connection.
O.K., key on...still no check engine light/airbag light? You sure it's the bulbs out and not something disconnected? Try starting it. Does it crank over normally? If nothing, you mayhave a fuse out or something wrong in the power distribution center in the engine compartment. Check your fuses.There may be another center or box, too, with fuses, besides the one. Post back if you need more help. Cheers.

2002 buick Lesabre (Limited) - When operating the AC I have warm air coming out of the on driver's side vents and cold air on coming out the passanger side vents.

check battery,battery cables,starter,starer solenoid, check if your battery have any power left, by turning lights on, if light is strong then on the starter motor,remove the remote wire, the thin wire connected to the starter from the ign. switch, instead of the remote cable, try to by pass it, with battery voltage, with ign switch on on pasition, if your starter works the starter is good if not change the estater, if starter works then check the remote wire, could be damage, could be the starter switch, fuse , or the starter relay. when working on car always make sure if the engine starts there is rotsting components. Thanks

I just had the transmission rebuilt and now the traction off light does not go off and yesterday the abs and brake light came on when I was driving. I stopped and restarted the car and the abs and brake...

take the car to someone who has an OBD checker, ask them to clear all the codes, when parts are changed in the vehicle , you need to do that , at times they will clear using the disconnect battery terminals, but some just want to light up your life and stay lit. If after clearing the codes, that one comes back on , you will have to have the system rebooted to accept the new transmission.

Do you have any codes in the engine control module ? When the vehicle shots off, do you think it's an electrical issue ? Of a fuel problem ?
Why did you replace the battery and starter ?

My car wont start but all lights and dash come on

Lisa, how long was the key in the one position? For the heck of it, put the car in neutral, and try to start it. It's possible the neutral safety switch is bad, which could cause the problem. It should start in neutral if that's the problem. Let me know if this works, if not, I'll help further.

Rear brakes need ajustment on Buick Lesabre

I don't know if this works on a Buick but I have had two cars that the auto adjusters worked when you used the parking brake, I rarely use the parking brake so I got in the habit of working the parking brake 20 times or so at oil change time.
