I don't think this is too far off topic as it
involves
cars and electricity and wiring so here goes:

Recently I bought a buick, yes I did buy a buick,
an '03 Century with low miles in good shape
but one thing really gets my goat and that is the
headlight off delay when you shut down the car!
The headlights stay on for 90 seconds and there
apparently is no way to change that! I contacted
three local repair shops and three GM dealers
for info on how to change this time to zero. Only
one dealer called back to say it was not possible
to change it! Now who, I say _who_ , is the
dumbass who decided that it is a good idea to
have the lights act this way? Huh? I'm ready to
look into the wiring on this thing and run wires
to a toggle switch to shut them off, I'm
****ed.....
Any ideas out there on what to do?
I didn't get any manuals for this car, yet....
but the dealers and auto shops should have one.

Phil,

Glad your problem is solved!

If you want to get a set of 'for real' factory shop manuals for the car,
check this outfit:

Check them for an owners manual too.

I always get factory shop manuals for my cars... the two times I bought
new, I got the dealers to throw them in as part of the deal. I suggest
getting them all, as there will probably be multiple volumes.

I have no personal affiliation or experience with Faxon, but several
friends have been more than impressed with them.
