multifunction switch 1999 Buick Century

[xxjdxx]

my multifunction switch on my 99 century my blinkers and wipers work but lights wont work unless i wiggle the stick then they shut right off. i can turn my lights on with the dash dimmer switch but this only works in the daytime. is there any way i can get the switch to turn them on at night? ive tried pointing a light at the daylight sensor but it doesnt work is there a way to disable auto lights so i can temporary fix and use manual switch?

You should always be able to turn the headlights on manually with the headlight switch.
If not, then you need the get the problem fixed. If wiggling the multifunction lever gets things working, then you need to replace that or the turn signal switch.

The liftgate latch mechanism on my 2004 Buick rendezvous simply stopped opening. Was working by remote and there is no manual way of opening the gate

If none of the regular ways work to access the liftgate, such as the handle, remote or button, the only way to get it open will be to remove the trim panel on the inside of the liftgate and pop the latch manually. This is not a fun task, as the trim panel is extremely hard to get off with the door closed, and will usually break some attaching clips/retainers. But, this is pretty much your only choice if you want it open again. Then you can replace the latch mechanism or actuator or what ever else is broken and not letting it open properly.

Buick 03 V6 3800 45,000 miles, when in Idle a slight shake is noticeable to me then as soon as I put it in drive its smooth as ever,
what can I do to get the best smoothest Idle when not in gear?

I wouldn't worry about the slight imbalance (rough idle out of gear). It's normal for that engine under no load.. It's designed to be smooth in gear. Normal usage is to leave the trans in a gear. The only reason to have the car out of gear is because you just started it up or your just getting ready to turn it off.
