Hi, Following steps helps to replace ignition switch on a buick lesabre 1999 Step 1
First open the trunk of your Buick Century. On each side you will see two big plastic nuts. They may be used as hooks for your trunk net, if you have one.

Step 2

Next remove the two nuts on whichever side your turn signal bulb needs replaced. You should be able to remove these by hand, but if they are a little tight, slip a screwdriver in one of the hooks for leverage.

Step 3

Now you will want to carefully pull the carpet back, just far enough to expose two more plastic nuts underneath. Follow the same steps as above to remove these two nuts.

Step 4

Push the metal studs that you just revealed toward the outside of the car. This will loosen the tail light assembly so that you can pull it out.

Step 5

Finally slightly twist and then pull the bulb assembly attached to the wire out of the taillight assembly. This will reveal the bare bulb. Pull the bulb straight out of the lamp assembly. Replace with the new bulb.

At this point check to make sure the turn signal now works. Finally, reassemble the lamp, carpet and nuts just as you found them.

Regards,
Madhan

SOURCE: 1998 BUICK LESABRE CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

The problem is the crankshaft sensor for sure. It is mounted behind the crankshaft pulley which is pretty difficult to get off as you need a special puller. A shop should charge about 1.5 hours for this job. It is a very common problem.

SOURCE: Rear brakes need ajustment on Buick Lesabre

I don't know if this works on a Buick but I have had two cars that the auto adjusters worked when you used the parking brake, I rarely use the parking brake so I got in the habit of working the parking brake 20 times or so at oil change time.

Replacing an ignition switch on a 1999 buick lesabre

Recommend a DIY repair manual so you have something to see and refer to. But first I'd ask a locksmith for a price. It may be worth your time in trying to learn how to do it.
