I recently bought the Lesabre (and have a window regulator on order from ebay), shocking isn't it? Anyway, the vehicle has the original battery and I would like to replace it. I am probably going to get one from the dealer, to keep the right fit in the space under the seat. My question is, if I install the new battery, is the stereo going to require some type of security code to get it working again? The vehicle came with no code. |
Space under the seat??? I guess you mean under the hood. Any supplier will have a battery to fit your Buick. WalMart will sell you a battery that Consumer Reports has rated highly, for about half what your dealer will charge. The stereo might require a security code. I believe that all those that require it will show a flashing red light when the ignition key is out. If you do have that light, it could need a code which the previous owner had set. There may be a dealer default code. Newer vehicles are keyed to the VIN (so you won't have the problem), but I don't know if yours uses that system. You can also buy a 9v battery connection which plugs into your lighter and maintains memory while the cables are changed, |
The battery for the Lesabre is under the rear seat. Thanks for the info on the security code. |
Oh, sorry! I have a similar Park Avenue which has the battery under the hood and assumed yours would too. Still, I would expect that others would make a battery for you. Its just that whenever I have to goto the dealer I end up spending more than necessary, so its kind of a last resort. They seem to charge you $100 fordriving in! But on the other hand, your dealer should be able to give you a definite answer on the kind of security code you have, as well as how to reset it. |
i believe delco is the only maker of that group size. IDK if the other manufacturers make em yet. |
Thanks for the info. I got my window regulator replaced, and I didn't even break any of the plastic trim screws! I used the instructions I found in this forum.......saved me about $400. |
