• Q: How to replace the Headlight Switch on 2005 Buick Century?

  A: Begin by using a plastic flat-bladed tool to release the open-close retainers which are located at the right edge of the instrument panel (I/P). The access opening cover can be pulled toward the back on the left side of this panel. You should unhook the front side of the access opening cover from behind the hinge pillar before removing it. After unscrewing the headlamp switch you must gently move the switch toward the outboard position to reach the electrical connector before disconnecting it. The installation process involves connecting the electrical connector to the headlamp switch before aligning switch positioning tabs to fit into the i/p. Then gently press the switch into its housing. First tighten the two headlamp switch screws to 1.8 n.m (16 lb in) after positioning the forward edge of the left i/p access opening cover behind the hinge pillar. When completing installation the access opening cover retainers should be inserted into slots found on the i/p trim pad before a final firm press to secure them.
