2002 Buick Century Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Shift Interlock Solenoid for a column shift on 2002 Buick Century?

  A: The automatic transmission shift lock actuator service requires the first step to be knee bolster removal. Awafs start by detaching the electrical connector from the automatic shift lock control actuator which leads to removing the actuator from the steering column ball studs. You should install the automatic shift lock control actuator on the steering column ball studs while reconnecting its electrical connector. The installation process requires pulling out the tab on the adjuster block side before using the fingers to squeeze the adjuster block and release the adjuster teeth while pulling the adjuster block as far from the actuator as it will go and then securing the adjuster block through tab retraction. Verify the actuator works correctly to secure the shift lever clevis in park position by checking for any movements without pressing the brake pedal. Need to reposition the actuator if necessary. Finally, reinstall the knee bolster.
