    Engine Quits Intermittently

    I am having an issue with my '07 XLR-V where the engine will just quit suddenly. I pull over, put the car in park and it starts right back up as if nothing happened. This has happened numerous times, everything else seems to be normal except for the fact the engine will just quit intermittently...

    Bluetooth install issues

    Removed the unit and the problem went away. Maybe a bad unit or just a compatibility issue with my car. Regardless, I returned it, got my refund, and will just do without it. Not that big a deal to me.

    I just installed the USA Spec BT45-VETTE Bluetooth Music & Phone Interface for GM Class2 Radios with XM (Satellite Radio). Everything seemed fine, bluetooth works as advertised.

    replacing roof tonneau cover actuator

    When I cycle my roof up and down the right side actuator that moves the tonneau cover in and out leaks like crazy. The left side actuator looks like it's starting to leak as well. Has anyone attempted to replace this actuator? I hate to give the car to the dealer, their service is terrible.

    Help! big electrical ( and Cadillac dealer) problems

    The dealer's senior XLR tech looked at the car and came to the same conclusion as the other mechanic. He insists it's not a grounding problem. I took the radio/ nav unit and sent it to an electronics repair outfit in CA that is certified for GM repair work. They should be able to determine if...

    Help! big electrical ( and Cadillac dealer) problems

    I agree - I wasn't impressed by the mechanic - I'm hoping the XLR qualified mechanic will bring better results. I talked to the maintenance supervisor before I left the dealership today - he said he gave my car to that mechanic because he went to the ' Corvette School' and the cars were...

    Help! big electrical ( and Cadillac dealer) problems

    It makes sense that a bad ground could be the culprit. I just got back from the Cadillac service dept and spoke with the mechanic doing the work. I asked him about checking if it could be a bad ground and he said he had checked them with a 'halogen light' and they were all good. I asked if he...

    Help! big electrical ( and Cadillac dealer) problems

    Thanks for the replies guys !! I have checked the battery - I installed a new Optoma about 8 months ago and the leads and connections there are good. I tried disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it with no effect on the problems I'm experiencing. I'll try to have a talk with the tech...

    Help! big electrical ( and Cadillac dealer) problems

    I own a 2004 XLR which I purchased about 2 years ago. A few weeks ago I started getting a constant Stabilitrack caution light and shortly thereafter an ABS caution light. I drove the car very infrequently after that, waiting for a good time to take it to the dealer when the right window failed...

    Help! Trunk closing itself slowly?

    I own an '04 and have this same issue. It happens maybe 50% of the time - the trunk slowly closes by itself. This is a known problem with the '04 models and am interested to know what the fix is.
