Checked one of my winter projects off the list. I understand the need to get those high-wattage bulbs out of my DRls before the lenses are damaged, but I couldn't just stop there. I wanted switchback bulbs, but wanted them to operate totally transparently and as designed, not requiring the...

As winter is upon us, I’m looking for projects. I’ve been wanting to hack the class 2 bus to improve stereo integration, but don’t want to “brick” my car while learning how it works. Might anyone have an HUD module that mostly works, but has cosmetic problems, motor problems, or something...

Looking at the service manual now, and fuse 22 is indeed the fog lamp fuse. Relay 38 (also in the under-hood fuse box) is the fog lamp relay. If I were modifying mine to have fog lamps on all the time, I would remove relay 38 and install a jumper. If you're comfortable with it, you could look...

You’d need to know how they did it, there are a few ways possible . Have you ever checked your VIN against the registry here? There’s always a chance the previous owner is a member here and could tell you more! Another option if you really hate having them on and won’t want to use them is to...

Hi Greg, My '08 does not have the fog lamps on all the time. To clarify, by fog lamps, do you mean the ones in the lower bumper (technically the fog lamps), or the amber bulbs inside the headlight assembly (DRL = daytime running lamps)? I'm looking at the service manual and there are very...

One evaluation

Progress Still hoping to hear how Pinakeli achieved it, but I've been working on it myself. I designed and built a circuit that goes inline with watertight connectors so I can undo it later. I also use switchback bulbs, but with the circuit, everything operates as normal (even "auto" mode)...

Hi all... I'm a little embarrassed to ask this, but this is the place to get the definitive answer. Are there actual service technician certifications for V-series and/or XLR? I've seen references to them in various posts / threads. Since I bought my car (WAY) out of state, I need to choose my...

On man’s opinion (and we know what they say about opinions) I’ve never done it nor do I have specific info on our radio, but I have a LOT of experience in the general field so here’s my two cents. If you could acquire a radio that was externally identical really cheaply, and you’re generally...

Update on progress Here's an update on the situation. Unsatisfied with the GM's (general manager, not General Motors) response, I contacted Cadillac customer service. They followed up with the dealer who offered to pay for an oil change. Cadillac additionally gave me a voucher for service at...

Whatever While it’s tempting to write a long response, you clearly aren’t interested in a conversation as your mind is made up. You don’t know me, my experience, my technical knowledge, or anything about the car. You weren’t there for any of the experience or conversation, yet you argue and...

Sales Tax Wow! That really is a great deal!

Wow, you certainly have a lot of opinions. Lets see... I guess I'll begin at the top: Every dealer is in the business of selling vehicles for a profit. They wholesale or sell at auction cars that, for whatever reason, won't be profitable to repair and sell or may be a liability to their...

It had 31,383 when I got it, but now a little over 33k. Two thousand of that was the road trip home. Not bad for a 10 year old car! It started snowing here recently, so I think I am done for the season. Fortunately, I have space to store it on site so I can work on the to-do list at my leisure...

Don’t you have to pay the tax when you register the car? We do in Michigan.

I not only had to pay the fee, I had to pay the city tax of about a grand. Michigan and Arizona are reciprocal states, but MI won't credit me for the higher tax rate I paid AZ, only up to 7%. Oh well, at least it wasn't a surprise...

Um, what? I didn't pay wholesale and the problems it had were the ones they caused or overlooked. Why would you say or even think that?

Anyone have experience with Arrowhead in Phoenix? I bought my V there and have been finding (serious / stupid) problems that should have been identified and corrected before it was offered for sale. Not little things like a rattle, rather very low power steering fluid due to a visible leak and a...

Glad I left it on the screen to read later... This one? ;) "Hello everyone, I have a lot of information about the C8 Corvette and a lot of other stuff that pertains to it. I'm not going to reveal where I got the information from, and if this turns into another flame thread, or goes off...
