Problem overview

Some Buick Park Avenue owners report experiencing issues with a stuck coolant gauge needle, which can often be resolved using a magnet. These owners have found that placing a strong magnet near the gauge needle and moving it counterclockwise can help return the needle to its correct position. In cases where the needle is stuck below the peg, using a magnet has proven effective in moving it back. Additionally, some owners have noted that disconnecting the battery can cause the gauge needle to travel clockwise, and employing a magnet can assist in resetting it. If the needle is stuck under its pin, gently moving it back around to the correct side can restore normal function. Using a magnet is a common and effective method for addressing this issue in Buick Park Avenue vehicles.
