Q: How to remove and install the Back Up Light on Buick Century?
A: Open the rear compartment lid then take out the rear compartment netting (if equipped) from its wingnut plastic holders. You can reach the other plastic wingnuts by pulling back the rear compartment trim panel corner after freeing the plastic wingnut under the taillamp. Keep the lamp steady by pressing lightly on its lens as you unscrew all plastic wingnut retainers. Gently take out the taillamp assembly from the rear panel while supporting it. Removing begins by rotating each lamp socket in a counterclockwise direction to release it from the taillamp housing. Placing the wet compress removes both lamp sockets and the taillamp housing from the vehicle. Insert the lamp sockets into the taillamp assembly housing before tightening them counterclockwise. Fit the taillamp assembly into its position in the rear panel while applying slight pressure to the lens so the lamp stays in place during the installation of the plastic wingnut holders that will be hidden by the rear compartment trim panel. Press the rear panel corner into place and fasten the taillamp plastic wingnut holder. Reinstall the rear compartment convenience net on the plastic wingnuts and then close the rear compartment.
Q: How to replace the Back Up Light and Tail Light on Buick LeSabre?
A: Detach the tail/back up lamp harness connector from the body wiring harness as the first step of lamp replacement. Support the rear compartment lid assembly when you remove the tail/back up lamp assembly before unplugging and removing the tail/back up lamp harness grommet from the lid and the tail/back up lamp from your vehicle. Insert the tail/back up lamp assembly first before installing the rear compartment lid tail/back up lamp harness grommet followed by the tail/back up lamp itself. Screw fasteners to the tail/back up lamp studs while making sure to tighten them to 6 N.m (53 lb in) according to the Fastener Notice. Use the tail/back up lamp electrical connector and the tail/back up lamp harness connector to follow installation steps which require clipping to the metal edge of the rear compartment lid.
