1994 BUICK REGAL light

Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted.
If wheel nuts keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the wheel leaks
air, replace
it (except some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your Buick dealer
if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset, and be mounted the
same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts,
or wheel nuts, replace them only with new
GM original
equipment parts. This way, you will be sure
to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your Buick
model. NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance,
and tire or tire chain clearance to the body and
chassis.

Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with
a clean, dull knife or scraper. Use very little cleaner,
light pressure and clean cloths (preferably
cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of
the stain, “feathering” toward the center. Keep
changing to
a clean section of the cloth.
When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry
the area
with an air hose, hair dryer, or heat lamp to
help prevent a cleaning ring. (See the previous
NOTICE.)

Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in your car are protected from short
circuits by a combination of fuses, circuit breakers, and
fusible thermal links in the wiring itself. This greatly
reduces
the chance of fires caused by electrical
problems.
W
Look at the silver-colored band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to
replace
the bad fuse with a new one of the identical size
and rating.
Headlights
The headlight wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to
go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. If
this happens, have your headlight wiring checked right
away.
Windshield Wipers
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker and
a fuse. If the motor overheats due to heavy
snow, etc., the wiper will stop
until the motor cools. If
the overload is caused by some electrical problem and
not snow, etc., be sure to get it fixed.
Power Windows and Other Power Options
Circuit breakers in the fuse panel protect the power
windows and other power accessories. When the current
load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the problem is fixed or goes
away.

CHECK OR
SERVICE
Exhaust System
Inspection
Throttle Linkage
Inspection
WHAT TO DO
Inspect the complete exhaust system.
Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which
could cause a heat build-up in the floor
pan or could let exhaust fumes into the
vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in the
Index.
Inspect the throttle linkage for
interference or binding, and
for
damaged or missing parts. Replace
parts as needed.
CHECK OR
SERVICE
Brake System
Inspection
WHAT TO DO
Inspect the complete system. Inspect
brake lines and hoses for proper
hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for
wear and rotors for surface condition.
Inspect other brake parts, including
calipers, parking brake, etc. Check
parking brake adjustment. You may
need to have your brakes inspected
more often if your driving habits or
conditions result in frequent braking.
NOTE: A low brake fluid level can
indicate worn disc brake pads which
may need to be serviced. Also, if the
brake system warning light stays on or
comes on, something may be wrong
with the brake system. See “Brake
System Warning Light” in the Index.
If
your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes and the anti-lock brake system
warning light stays on, comes on or
flashes, something may be wrong with
the anti-lock brake system. See
“Anti-Lock Brake System Warning
Light” in the Index.
