1994 BUICK REGAL fuses

Power Door Locks
Push the power door lock
switch
to lock or unlock all
the doors at once.
Automatic Door Locks
Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. All of
your doors will lock when you move your shift lever out
of “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). If someone needs to get
out while the vehicle
is running, have that person use the
manual or power lock. When the door is closed again,
it
will lock automatically as long as the shift lever is out of
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). All doors will unlock
automatically when the ignition
is turned off.
If you don’t want the doors to unlock automatically
when you
turn the ignition off, you can remove the fuse
marked Lock Control located in the component center.
See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from inside. Then get
out and
close
the door.
Remote Trunk Release (Option)
The remote trunk release
button is
in the glovebox. It
works only when the
transaxle
is in Park.
If you have the Remote
Keyless Entry System
Option,
it will also unlock
your trunk.
A CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into
your vehicle. You can’t see or smell

PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle is
equipped
with the
PASS-Key@II
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft deterrent
system. PASS-Key(%
is a passive theft
deterrFnt system. This
means you don’t have
to do anything different
to arm or disarm the
system.
It works
when you insert or remove the key from the
ignition. PASS-Key% uses a resistor pellet
in the
ignition key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key% system senses that someone
is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and
fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t
go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different keys
with different resistor pellets in an
attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted
in the ignition or the engine may not start. If the
engine does not start, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and
try
again. If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try the
other ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’
in the
Index). If the starter won’t work
with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Buick dealer or a
locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key@II.
If you accidentally use
a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before trying one of
the
other ignition keys.
See your Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key(% to have a new key made.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key% ignition key, see
your Buick dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.

Q
A green arrow on the
instrument panel will flash
in the direction of the ‘turn
or lane change.
To signal
a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the green arrow starts to flash. Hold it there until
you complete your lane change. The lever will return by
itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows don’t
flash but just stay on, a signal bulb may
6e burned out
and other drivers won’t see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the green arrows don’t go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse (see “Fuses” in the Index)
and for burned-out bulbs.
Turn Signal ccOn99 Chime
A chime will sound if your turn signal is left on after
having gone
3/4 mile, to remind you to turn off your
signal.
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system (headlights,
parking lights, fog lamps, side marker lights and
taillights) meets all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states and provinces may apply
their own lighting regulations that may require special
attention before you operate these lights.
For example, some jurisdictions may require that you operate your fog lamps only when your lower beam
headlights are also on, or that headlights be turned on
whenever you must use your windshield wipers.
In
addition, most jurisdictions prohibit driving solely with
parking lights, especially at dawn or dusk.
It is
recommended that you check with your own state or
provincial highway authority for applicable lighting
regulations.

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.
