So, Did you ever find the solution to this problem? My Regal is doing the same thing and it's driving me crazy. The left blinker occasionally shuts the car of and other times the car wont start for 5 or 10 minutes. Has ANYONE found the solution to this problem?

Is it not funny 1 part causes all that trouble...IT is the turn signal switch...... I have seen damage to the ignition too but you seem to be diagnoising the turn signal switch issue....If you want I can give you step by step instructions...Get the old one out of a junk yard and bam for 25$ you will be fixed

1999 Buick Regal GSE electrical issues
Written by: jcurran44 on Jun 4, 2009 8:52:15 AM
I have found many people on here that are having issues with the electrical system. My issues started with the dash lights going out. Then the ABS light came on, then the traction control light, and soon after the service engine soon light. At that point we parked the car and have been trying to tackle the issues for the past year. The issue grew into a more serious situation when ... Read More

Buick Regal LS Report
Written by: jipster on Apr 5, 2007 6:26:08 PM
I've had my 1999 Buick Regal LS for 3 years this April. Thus, far I have been extremely happy with it. I've replaced the tires and the battery(normal wear), had the rotors turned once, and had a new Mass Airflow Sensor put in. Though I learned after the fact that more than likely the MAF sensor could have been cleaned instead of being replaced. Oh, I also did a trans. and ... Read More

Speaking of Coolant Leak
Written by: jipster on Apr 23, 2006 11:18:34 AM
In doing a "search" in this discussion I've noticed many Regal owners to have had problems with coolant leak and problems with lower and upper intake gaskets. One post mentions that there was a recall for all 2000-2003 Regals with the 3800 Series 2 engine. Under the recall GM would replace the engine throttle body fastners with redesigned fastners and add cooling system sealant to the radiator. A few questions please: ... Read More

I've owned both the Buick Century(1994 wagon with the 3.1 engine) and currently a 1999 Regal LS (with the 3.8 engine) The Century was quick off the line, but solely lacked the muscle when it came to highway merging and passing. Anything over 45mph was a chore. The Regal 's 3.8 200 hp engine is much stronger...has all the power I would ever need. That said, it has recently developed a ... Read More

What "outside air" filter? Cabin air filter that few cars had in 1999, or the common air filter - for air which go into engine intake? Any case, first open the hood. The intake air filter is in big black box on the driver side. Cabin filter is under the black plastic panel with a grid of small holes, just under windshield and side wipers.

Buick Regal handling?
Written by: jipster on Apr 14, 2004 10:50:49 AM
I just purchased a 1999 Buick Regal LS with 56,000. I really like the car...though the handling/steering seems really sensitive at highway speed. The owners manual states that the vehicle is equipped with "magnetic variable effort steering"(4-12) "Steering effort will increase at higher speeds for improved road feel" I really can't tell much of a difference. Is this normal? How does your Buick handle/steer in relation to speed?
