Problem with my 1995 Buick Regal
3.8 V6
dash lights = airbag light when car was in reverse
GM Computer codes = none
Repair work done prior = bought used from dealer
Work done to repair this problem = none from me, it passed VA safety inspection
My car reverse lights are constantly on doesn't matter what gear its in or anything.
Have to disconnect the battery to shut off the lights. I know its a short somewhere, but is
it possible that the steering is jacked up or is there a switch that governs those lights
that is faulty?
Most likely your problem is in the neutral safety switch.
This is what controls the reverse light power feed, as well as not letting the
car start in any other gear except park or neutral.
It is located on top of the transmission, under the hood. Sort of triangular
shaped with an electrical connector. The shift cable attatches to a stud
coming out of the trans, which goes through the center of the neutral switch

Question: Can you remove the rear strut on the Buick Grand Sport without using the leaf spring compressor
tool #J35778 ?
Answer: The tool definitely makes it easier to work on the
suspension in the rear. You can try removing the rear
wheels and using a jack stand underneath the spring, then
lowering the car so the weight is on the jack stand. It might
take enough tension off the spring to do one side at a time,
but you do this at your own risk. The proper way would be
to use the special tool to take the tension off the spring.
