Q: How to remove and install the Headlight Switch on Buick Century?
A: Users need to pull the back edge of the left instrument panel access cover to free its retainers using a plastic flat-bladed tool. You must loosen the forward edge of the LH IP access opening cover by accessing it behind the hinge pillar so you can remove it. The headlamp switch retention screws must be unscrewed followed by a methodical outboard removal of the switch to reach the electrical connector which can then be disconnected. Connect the electrical connector to the headlamp switch and then position the switch tabs onto the IP before pressing it into its final location. Secure the retaining screws on the headlamp switch while torquing them to 1.8 N.m (16 lb in). The final installation step consists of mounting the LH IP access opening cover forward edge into the hinge pillar slot while securing the retainer mechanism to the IP trim pad holes through strong pressure.
Q: How to replace the Headlight Switch on Buick LeSabre?
A: The first step to replace a headlamp switch involves removing the left IP trim plate after disconnecting electrical connectors (2 and 3). You must separate the headlamp switch from the left IP trim plate using the removal of the fastener and performing a tilting motion that will allow its detachment. The IP trim plate installation method involves securing the headlamp switch with its fastener by tightening it to 2 N.m (18 lb in). Reinstall the IP trim plate when both electrical connectors are connected to (2, 3).
Q: How to Properly Service and Replace the Headlight Switch on Buick Regal?
A: Start by opening the access opening cover at the left side of the instrument panel (I/P) by pulling its rearward edge outboard. A plastic flat-bladed tool should be used carefully to release the retainers. Extract the forward edge of the access opening cover through the pillar behind the hinge and take it out. The headlamp switch requires you to remove its screws before you pull it gently toward the outside to reach the electrical connector so you can disconnect it. The installation process begins by attaching the electrical connector to the headlamp switch followed by alignment of the switch tabs to the i/p and finishing with switch positioning while screwing it tightly to 1.8 n.m (16 lb in). Push the forward part of the left i/p access opening cover behind the hinge pillar until the access opening cover retainers fit into slots on the i/p trim pad before you firmly press to secure it.
