SOURCE: how to replace a coolant level sensor, 2000 buick century

The coolant level sensor is located on the radiator. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the car it will be on the left side. There will some kind of clip holding it in the radiator. Removed the clip and pull the sensor out. You will lose coolant so try to swap it out quick or drain some of the coolant out. Once new sensor is installed, install clip to keep the sensor in place and reconnect the wires to the sensor. Crank the engine and make sure the coolant level is full. This should correct your problem.

The cabin air filter for your 2002 Buick Century is located under the cowl in the firewall between the engine compartment and the passenger side of the front seat. To change the filter:
1. Leave the wipers in up position.
2. Open the hood
3. Remove the weather stripping from passenger side of cowl
4. Unclip the window washer line (two or three places)
5. Remove the three fasteners with an ordinary screwdriver (one is easy, the other two were more difficult)
6. Take out the cowel cover
7. Remove old filter
8. Put in new filter
9. Replace cover, fasteners, washer line, and weather stripping.

Do it about every 20,000 km. I left mine for nearly 130,000 km and it was filthy dirty.
New filter costs about $12

SOURCE: odometer light out on buick century not working

Sadly no, there is no fuse or bulb to replace. You either have to send the instrument cluster out for repair or replace it with a new unit from the dealer. You could also obtain a serviceable one from a salvage yard. Most shops should be able to replace the instrument cluster or advise who can repair it.

I have a 2000 Buick century the coolant fans don't work replaced relays still not working pulled relay and cross wired to see if fan motors ok did work once but all it does now is blows fuse was told to...

I would first check for a broken or shorted wire to body of car. Mouse damage or green corrosion. This is because you say fuses are blowing. Good luck Friend.

Where is the ECU computer in 2000 Buick Century located?

The vehicle's Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is a powerful on-board computer that controls most powertrain related functions, hence its name. Earlier versions were often called the Engine Control Module (ECM) but as the computers have become more advanced and, as more and more demands have been placed on them to control more driveline functions, the computers have come to be called Powertrain Control Modules, more accurately reflecting its increased role in vehicle operations.

The PCM in your W-Body vehicle is located underhood, in front of the right strut tower near the engine coolant reservoir.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer. Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

Jose.
