i was reading today , but cant find it now, brake pedal recalibration/relearn can solve the weird ignition switch /start with brake pedal issues. if it keeps happening, replace brake switch and do relearn should be permanent fix.

hi all , let me look to see if i ever posted about this from when i swapped my battery... same exact thig happened. eventually after multiple attempts to "wake up" the car it worked. and never happened again. just keep trying to open close the door, lock and unlock the car with the fob, put the...

awesome update. that was by far your biggest hurdle. cd player, i've never used. lol, hood struts? i got a stick for that! tpms is a pita but very doable , any local shop can handle it, i wont bother doing myself as dismounting tires is too difficult without a machine. by the time you recreate...

Now you have a nice xlr V, and a tech2. Two toys that most would love to be in command of.

Omg congrats!! It wasn't that silly. Took a tech 2 to find it. It's always a relief when you finally get to the bottom of something. Go have a brewski!!

Half my battle was figuring out the right order to powering up and plugging in the tech2 clone. Once I got it to communicate with the car properly, it was very helpful to check systems and clear codes etc. It looks like you aren't getting good comm. Yet.

Yes you need to be in ign on mode, not just acc mode. That's hold the acc button down for 3 to 5 seconds. I do diagnostics with the charger hooked up. Doesn't seem to have any effect. Keeps the voltage in a better range.

Post a picture...

Can still grab nice one, many are low miles and depreciation is baked in now. I think I saw a sweet Nieman Marcus 04 on cars.com this past weekend. Personally I would go for an 07 and up. But that is one of the rarest of the rare. I like the purple, lol. I hunted for almost 2 years to find a...

You need to scan with a tech 2 or clone. Could be some codes that will elucidate what's going on. I agree right now your are guessing it's something mechanical. I'm guessing it's something electrical. There's a lot of modules on this car😂. I agree with Mick here, the brakes work really good on...

I would do all 4. Is the same type. Even if they are not original, they must be getting old. 4 of the Chinese mag ride replacements. Should not need sims. If you module is good. I would do that. Mag ride does deliver a better ride for the Cadillac. If you want to go standard struts, do all 4...

Next dumb question. The bulbs under the orange side markers, are they amber or white. I'm getting led amber switchbacks for the drl/blinker, but no idea if the side marker bulbs should be clear or amber. Seems like the side markers take a 194 bulb... The same as the little triangle lights. I...

Question, if I get the LED bulbs for the drl/blinker, will it set off any service messages? Or just hyper flash. I'm not really interested in wiring in any resistors. Same question if I replace the side marker bulbs, the ones under the orange lenses, and I replace the little clear triangle...

The tech2 clone I used https://www.vxdiagshop.com/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-gm-opel.html Easiest is to use an old laptop you have laying around. It doesn't like newer windows software and security

If you look at my tech 2 picture. The top 4 readings are 2.22, those are the ride height readings. They never move. But when I drive with the tech 2 computer rig I have, the bottom 4 percent readouts do modulate. Corresponding to a wheel that's getting loaded. Even as the 2.22 is steady. I think...

Also which m&p kit did you get? Was it the one with 8 resistors? Or only 4...I just installed it on my 07 and it fixed my warning messages finally, after 3 months of fighting with the same problem. On several occasions I found that the shop has not installed the plugs correctly. I had to redo...

I would just make sure the headlight is aimed correctly and leave it alone. Mine both died and I don't miss them. I find them kinda annoying. They move too robitically. Better just straight.

I never had any suspension codes or warning messages until the shop took my mag ride struts off and installed Bilsteins and only half the Casper's kit. So I don't think the module is bad, unless it got messed up when the first set of Casper's resistors got fried. Since then I have been trying...

I made my own resistors they were 1.5ohm 100 watt, but never installed. I'll keep them as backup. The resistors were from Amazon and were like 13 dollars for 5!!. Problem was the plug ends. Luckily i had 6 plugs from the burned up Casper's!! I liked the kit ones from m&p as they looked as big as...

Latest update. Casper's strut resistors kept failing. I assume they can't take the load being sent by the still active suspension module. Looking around and asking around, came to the conclusion I need 50 to 100watt resistors, ideally 1 to 3 ohms but ohms not that important, only that lower ohms...
