i have a silver 2000 buick regal ls and none of my lights show on my dash. the gas gauge is all messed up. it switches side to side. when i have more than half of a tank the gauge stays on full then around half of a tank its always on low. im never sure when i need to get gas. but im pretty sure thats in the gas tank. i do really need to fix my dashboard. its all messed up.
My 2000 buick regal is doing the same thing but at my auto parts store there are 2 options for the ignition switch. One is where the key actually goes into or the part under the column. Im guessing its under the column is that correct.
My ignition switch is bad, too. I got to change it out. I have a '99 Buick Regal LS. In the defense of GM, which I don't like to do, I think they really don't have to make a recall, because the driver can maintain control of the vehicle and turn on hazards and come to a slow stop. However, one could possibly get into a situation on the freeway where one wouldn't make it to the shoulder and stop in the middle of the road! However, that's a slim chance if one is going 55+ MPH.
@cpp1 Our Buick Regal LS did this just today!~ This has got to be faulty manufacturing,since so many have the same problem with a part that gets minimal wear and tear,and no user road damage due to misuse.
i also replaced my buick starter. that was easy;) kinda lol

I have the same problem with my dashboard blinking.
So I don't have to replace the ignition key cylinder just the switch?
