Replacing Multi-Function Switch on 97-05 Buick Century

This was done on my 1997 Buick Century. This is a fairly straightforward procedure, and should cover multiple applications. Just be careful removing the interior trim panels!

Hey there My father and I are having a problem locating the 4 mm screw under the steerin column? Can anyone help?

Make sure you have the bottom half of the cover off, and look underneath between the ignition switch and steering wheel. You will need a deep well socket to reach it. Hope this helps.

Very nice job. I had not started this as I really did not want to mess with the air bag but with the specialized tool you made it should be quite possible. Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for recording this video. I have a 2004 Buick Regal which is very similar. I'm having a hard time getting the op cover off the steering column..... now I'll go look for that 4.0mm screw you mentioned! Thanks again, Jerry

@JCHSportingClays

Yes, that is probably all it is. Good luck with the repair!

You're welcome! Pulling the steering wheel certainly adds much more unnecessary work to the job. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Thanks so much for posting this video! I found it just in time. I would have pulled the steering wheel and all if I hadn't seen this. Your tips on the required tools was an added plus! My switch had actually broken off, forcing me to have to replace it. The high beams had been tough to get on for a while, so I knew the switch needed replacing. Just didn't get it soon enough before it broke off. New one works like a charm! Thanks again!
