My 2004 XLR must have a short in battery system. Over night the battery will drain down. It's a new battery. How might I go about finding the short to ground? Thanks, Ed

Seemingly there is a short to ground somewhere. How do I go about determining where the short is? Thanks, Ed

2004 XLR with dead battery O5 Grand Daddy. Thanks for the info. I corrected my post. I had paid Cadillac $280. I was under the view that if I changed the battery I would lose the codes. I now realize that belief is incorrect. If it was correct no firm could supply XRLs with a battery. Also...

As I've mentioned before my 2004 XLR has leaking mag shocks. I'm not going to pay Cadillac $4500 plus to replace them. I have the part numbers for the Bilstein replacements used on 2011-13 Corvettes. I also want to check out the AC Delco shocks used on 2011-13 Corvettes. How do I get the...

2004 XLR with leaking shocks Cad dealer priced me at $5,100 for the four mags installed. Second time around the price was $4500. Amazon was right at $2,000 & me install them. Third time it was me bring in the ones from Amazon and Cad would install them for $700. They won't install after-market...
