Anti-lock brake system light came on for approximately eight months. Buick dealer could not diagnose. Headlights would dim when light came on at night. Looking back, I am almost positive the problem was a "wheel speed sensor".
Leather on driver's seat split at seams, and developed bad creases despite frequent leather conditioning due to leather being too hard.
The Gran Sport models have beautiful styling effects and have terrific engine power.
Steering is very tight and car is very easy to handle in tight spaces.
The interior is as nice as any Cadillac, and the instrument panel design is very ergonomic and attractive.
I purchased my 1995 regal gt in may. I'm very happy with it. Just a comment on the ABS light coming on and lights
dimming. It's been happening to me for the past couple weeks also. 2 days ago the alternator died. I don't have any ABS lights coming on and no lights dimming anymore. Check out your alternator! cms.
I bought a 94 regal GS and I to have the same problem with the ABS light... it seems that when the light is on my ABS don't work and when its off well my ABS do work. I had my alternator replaced and the light did go off for a while, but it comes back on about 20 min after starting the car. but other than that I love this car its really peppy!
I purchased my 94 regal gs in January. I have the same problem with the ABS light it usually goes on when I back up. I am pretty sure the problem is the self adjusters. high-mileage oil is a must for max performance. I have had to replace the starter. A coolant flush and Bosch platinum 2's are great for reliability and horsepower.
I love my 94 Regal Custom, however there is a leak between the door and driver side sun visor.
This makes the headliner wet and even drip's onto the driver seat when it is raining.
I had a sealer applied to the area on the outside to no avail, does anyone have any ideas?
I found the solution to the leak. Go and buy some silicone RV sealant and squeeze some in the small water drain on the upper driver's side of the windshield.
I am also a proud owner of a 1994 Buick Regal Gran Sport with 175,000mi. I am the second owner beginning since 1996, and the date now is December 2005.
I have a 1994 regal gran sport and have had trouble with the air cond. compressor on my third and my car is black, Other than that I love this car!!! TIM Jax, FL.
I own a 1994 Regal Custom with 169,000mi. It's the best car I've ever owned. It handles well and the steering is tight. I get just over 21 mpg - city. The seats are very comfortable. This car is a pleasure to drive.
I have had a few problems though :
I had to replace the radiator (damaged in an accident)
I have electrical problems, but all the fuses are OK
(not working - dome light, under hood light, cig lighter, cruise control, some dash lights.
A/C compressor bad after only 2 years.
Idler pulley disintegrated - bearings and all.
And my current problem - engine idles erratically and stalls when warmed - up.
Even so - I still love this car. It has been totally reliable up to the present and has never left me stranded. I would buy another one without hesitation.
Also, I do most of my own repairs so I can say that it's a relatively easy car to work on and the parts are reasonably priced compared to others.
I bought my 1994 Buick Regal GS (2 door) April 2008, It had 193,788 miles.
Now after a year 198,465 and a hard to find electrical problem (so I thought) staring me in the face. Needed to replace the fuse box at the battery, I replaced the front pads and heater core and all the ABS lights are always on. I still haven't put it all back together under the dash or have I found replacement heater hoses. I need to fix the inlet tube (uses a gallon of water a day). I damaged the drivers door regulator trying to open the window with ice all over it.
The dome lights have never worked and it needs shocks, valve covers both leak and I need a front bumper cover.
Just last week I figured out it needs a turn signal switch, maybe if I fix that (if I can find a new one) the brake lights will work again.
Most dealer OEM parts are discontinued, but she starts and runs great everyday without a second thought. I get 21 or better mileage.
Someday when the time is right, I want to make it a Rat Rod and put the body on a late 60's full frame with a small block rear wheel drive. What GM should have done is left well enough alone. Still, it's a great car.
I have a 94 Regal GS 2 dr.
ABS lights periodically or always on.
I solved the problem when I discovered the little black box just forward of the shock absorber tower on the drivers side. Looks like heat warps the cover giving enough space for the relay to vibrate out and break the connection. I jiggled the relay, pushed it down and the ABS/brake lights turned off then added foam to fill the gap.
I have a 1994 Buick Regal Grand Sport. It was having many issues ABS light, dim head light, intermittent wipers not working, oil pressure gauge jumping. I cleaned the connections on the 2 under hood fuse boxes. I removed all the fuses and cleaned them. I cleaned the 3 ground wire connections on the radiator frame. That has solved the problems.
I bought a 1994 Buick GS sedan in Aug 2009. 92000 miles at 1800 bucks. All electrical options work.
Had to replace TPS.
the car at first was running lean upon full acceleration. This was due to a MAF sensor that didn't throw a code. All I did was clean it with contact cleaner and a q-tip.
That 3800 runs like a bitch. Leather interior and no rust at all. Original paint and never been hit. Pretty amazing for a 16 year old car. Sold a 2008 Ford Fusion (with a payment book) and bought this. I like this car better than than the Fusion. I'm 50 yrs. old and this car reminds me of a day when I had more hair.
Good car, will never sell it.
I have a 94 Buick Regal, and I bought a deck and everything. I need to put it in and 2 12 inch subs. but it is hard to hard wire it in. Any tips?
Adding amps isn't that hard. I found a hole in the fire wall left and down from the brake booster, then wires under the panels and pull the back seat a lil and you can stick the wire through.
As for a deck in the 94 Buick Regal Custom 4 dr, I had to remove my ash tray, oh and my ABS lights is always on. Some times I get service engine soon, but it's cause of the cam position sensor. But I put an oversized roller cam so it's all good.
