Hi TXMX - hope you’re well! All I did was connect it to a battery source; which sounds like what you did. I also used a multimeter to check current flow in the thermistor wire to see if there was a short there. I found no current flow; which suggested the wire was bad. So the first thing I...

Hi Gray - thanks for welcoming me! Slowly, but surely, figuring out this machine. Regarding the cruise control, I cleaned it up - and, I think, I found the culprit when I did: a monarch butterfly. Gulp! It very well could have been the cousin to your bug! Looking forward to helping around...

Rodre - I'm sorry to hear about this. First, I think the community feedback on this is solid - I do hope you get justice. Second, keep us posted - as an attorney myself, I'm very interested in how this plays out. Good luck brother! Jay

Hi Rex and Fire - Prior to starting this thread, I did, what I thought, was a pretty thorough search of the threads. I’m NOT looking for advice on head units (as I think I’m purchasing the newest Kenwood); what I am looking for is what backup/rear camera I should consider. Note, my...

Ha - stupid me! Thanks Rexster - appreciate the point out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Redsox - did you solve this problem? Let me know - I have a possible solution or two, but want to check your status first. Hope all is well! Jay

Ladies and gents - Happy Memorial Day to all. If you served, then I thank you deeply for your service - and for ensuring America's freedoms. Thank you! Down to business. I am purchasing (in the next couple of days) a new in-dash navigational system/stereo head unit that supports, at the very...

Hi Laura - hope you're well. Did you figure out this problem yet? Let us know - thanks! Jay

Z1 - my brother - I think I found your review of the following product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/VXDIAG-Tech2Win-Diagnostic-Programming-System/dp/B074365Q6H/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8. Below is the comment I read. Is this you? If so, I take it you recommend this product. Let...

All - So I was getting a message for about a week that said: Roof Top Over Temp. Long story short, as 05 Grand Daddy pointed out, I might have a thermistor issue. Turns out, that was the case - and I know what the source of the prombel was: I washed my car on an incline where my trunk end...

Hi Z1 - thanks for opening my eyes up to an MDI 2 and Tech2Win software. I will look into that. I just bought my 2009 XLR less than two week ago; and, before I paid the cash to the seller, I personally took the vehicle to a GM service center that was about 1/2 mile from the dealership I...

Gents and Ladies - I'm in the market for a Tech 2 scanner. But, is it worth it to splurge for the genuine GM tech 2 scanner or will a knockoff suffice? With that being said: 1) Besides price, what are the major differences between a genuine one and a knockoff? 2) If you have experience...

Hawk - right now, I'm open ended about when I'm heading back up north. As you said, this virus has paused the world; though, in FL, it's starting to open back up - I had a beer at a bar over the weekend!!!!! I'd love to link up with you man; but understand with the virus. Hopefully, we get...

John, my friend, I ended up buying the battery shims (something like this Advance Auto Parts - Down for Maintenance) and putting one onto my positive post. I then tightened it. It seemed to the trick as I'm getting like-new contact and my low voltage codes and CEL disappeared. I'm pleased...

LTS - good idea re the towel. My plan is to (a) replace all of the back end seals and then (b) construct a semi-waterproof housing unit for the pump motor. Let's see how it goes.... Jay
