Condenser Replacement Necessary?
Sorry for trying to revive an old thread here...
For anyone who has direct experience or good knowledge of the A/C system on XLR's:
The service manual states that the drier/dehydrator is integrated with the condenser, and is not separately serviceable...
It's definitely a coolant leak, orange fluid - dex cool - dripping off rad.
condensation from the a/c drips on pass side further back under evap core.
I'm fairly certain the overflow tube flows coolant from the rad to the reservoir (due to thermal expansion), which is sealed, unless the...
I agree that the pressure test result is very odd that it won't hold any pressure when combined with a slow leak. I'll recheck to ensure it's not a leaking tester.
It is very possible that this is just a very slow seep while running or not. I was inspecting the area with the car idling hot in...
'06 V
I've got a coolant leak that I'm having trouble tracking down. It only leaks noticeably while the car cools in the garage over several hours, though I haven't been able to see it leak myself - just the small 3"-6" puddle it leaves. It does not appear to leak while the car is running -...
Just thought I would share my experience for the benefit of others. I decided to order the hardbar replacements (hardbarusa), which haven't come in quite yet. I called and they said the bolts were long enough to maintain stock ride height on the corvette, but weren't sure about the XLR. It turns...
I'm With Stupid
Sorry, but I agree with oblivious guy... errrrr.... DanF
Don't make fun of me too, it's my birthday! Although I appreciate the humor :laugh:
Spring Adjustment Bolts
I found out today I have a broken height adjustment bolt as well. :mad: Does anyone know where to get a replacement part without buying the entire spring assembly? :dunno: I would like to keep the ride height stock. Re-reading above, would it be ill-advised to use an...
Center Insert
Thanks Phrede, the photos make this a lot clearer. One thing that I still don't understand is the removal of the seat back insert. Manual says:
1. Remove the insert at the seat back. Push down on the insert to disengage the insert from the ventilation
duct.
2. Remove the lower...
Stapling?
I just reviewed the procedure in my service manual, and it makes no mention of stapling - just hooks, loops, and clips. Where exactly are the staples? I'm assuming a hardware store 1/4" staple using a pneumatic stapler will be just fine?
BTW - when I click on the link to your...
Any Tricks?
Thinking about doing the same. Were there any tricky or difficult parts to re-skinning the driver seat? I don't think I will replace the foam.
BCM Fault
This could also possibly be a BCM hardware issue, not a software one in your case. I have seen circuit boards fry a single soldering point such that the board is still operable but loses a particular function - not that you would want to spend the money on a new bcm for this issue...
Service Manual
For those that have a service manual (showing the pinout of the rearview mirror), what section of the manual is "Stationary Windows" in? I ask b/c I got my hands on an electronic version a while back, but it is split into 60 or so pdf files by section, and I can't seem to find...
I made that harder than it needed to be
:bash: In the end, the ground (#8 - all blk) and ignition 1 voltage (#13 - blk/pink) pins are the same, but the wire colors are different than even the '06 manual info above - maybe there is a V vs. Base difference?
I found this "tool" (drawer knob) to...
What model year?
What at model year is that service manual for? I've found something similar on another forum that shows '05 with different colors. I have an '06.
Already Saw This
Ya, I already saw that pic before attempting. The wires are all different colors going into the mirror despite the harness being the same shape. Pin 4 on the bottom does not provide switched ignition voltage on my car.
Side question, how much resistance is near enough to zero...
Wiring
Which wires/pins did you tap for your radar detector? I'm trying to do the same, and thought I had the right ones identified with my multimeter, but fried my radar detector instead...:mad:
