    Another Deck Lid/Trunk issue

    Glad it worked for you. The harness end circuit next to the trunk deck release is, IIRC, linked to the brake pedal position sensor and if that gets corrosion, the brake lights stay on and you get a brake warning.

    Passenger window

    Have you lubricated the track? With the door open and possibly an assistant, lower the glass, press and hold the up button and also lift the glass up by hand at the same time. It might be just a bit stiff and needs some help. Once it has worked the track a time or two, it should loosen up...

    HELP HEAD LIGHT DIMMER SELONID

    Still not sure what the question is. Possibly this: * solenoid for high low beam does not work with dimmer switch * driver side does not flicker when pulling dimmer switch * passenger side does (what?) flicker? but stays on dim? What year? FYI: There is a solenoid in each headlamp unit. FYI...

    Another Deck Lid/Trunk issue

    Check the BCM for corrosion on the trunk release circuit harness end. Open hood and passenger door, ensure both windows are up. Disconnect battery negative. Locate BCM (under passenger's feet). Release both small harness ends (both because I can't remember which one of the two has the trunk...

    Forward facing camera

    My understanding is that there are a whole bunch of 2.4GHz channels, so you do need to make sure each pair is on a different channel (ie slight frequency difference).

    Rescued a 2005 XLR

    I too have no idea what that box is. It _might_ be some kind of audio (pre-)amplifier. I only mention that as it has its own 9v battery and as audio (pre-)amplifiers are vulnerable to electronic noise, one fix is to use a battery instead of a more general power supply. Assuming that 9v...

    A big screen upgrade for the XLR?

    Umm, I did watch some. Whether or not I watched the best ones, maybe there are more informative ones? I don't have time to spend watching lots of videos with not much information density.

    A big screen upgrade for the XLR?

    I'm not in a position to comment over much on this product and you are welcome to disagree a lot with me. I'm not sure what this is, at a guess an Android tablet a few years old (being Android 13). It is going to need a replacement for the HVAC controller, so some hardware. If being done...

    Passenger window

    Re-index it. Press and hold 'up', keep holding up for about three seconds after it reaches the top. Press and hold 'down', keep holding down after it reaches bottom, for three seconds. You might need to repeat the 'up' cycle. Then the auto function should have re-indexed. Just occasionally...

    Wanted Need taillight(s)

    Good luck. Why? You might want to repair the ones you have, they are fixable.

    How to get into your XLR with a dead battery and no emergency key

    Yes, the trunk will lift all the way. The key does two things: 1. It releases the latch (and if no power, you must lift the trunk deck by hand, while you are turning the key, to clear the latch) (lift evenly, gently and purposely, you are lifting against the hydraulics) 2. If power, the trunk...

    2007 XLR North Star Complete Reseal

    Big job. There was a recall on early models, the front timing chest cover leaked, needed a 'special' gasket (read 'thicker'). If it is this, then there is no need to pull the engine, 'just' remove the front suspension and steering rack (to reveal the crankshaft/harmonic balancer bolt)...

    Help! No start issue

    No crank or crank with no start? If immobilized you get no crank.

    A big screen upgrade for the XLR?

    Android 13 is waay out of date. Android 16 is current. Not much info on what is behind it, what kind of satnav, data sources and updates. Or did I miss something?
