GM dealerships have connector repair kits for most late model vehicles. Parts are available online too. Here's one source for the entire connector: 12110114 Connectors | Mouser Do be aware that specific crimp tools are required for a proper job of securing the pins to wiring. Pin removal...

If no operation and no DIC msg, verify all top-related fuses. If the same symptoms persist, verify the Folding Top Contol Switch is working. CC

"I will be spending my time and resources helping them' SO "so long xlr " This is the most welcome quote I've had the pleasure to view in eleven years on this forum. MT trolled this forum from the beginning and pretty much drove me away with his incessant BS; --and that was with him at the top...

The turn signal has nothing to do with the Distance Sensing Cruise Control, other than they both use 12 vdc power. If the outer cover is clean, the problem is likely one of three things: 1) Faulty connection in the DSCC circuit (these cars aren't getting any younger). 2) Faulty DSCC module -...

I've posted detailed descriptions of the Folding Top operation. Read through them using the search function and if you still have a question that isn't covered, post back and it will get answered. The Folding Top is the most problematic system in the XLR and as a result, there's a lot of...

Had the same issue. The nylon washers to fix it cost less than fifty cents. I've attached a few pics to help; the vette write-up works well. The seat is deceptively heavy, so cover the sill to avoid scratching it when removing it. I've uploaded these photos before, so I might have included a...

Steering wheel position for exit and entry is retained in the driver door module under the seat. Check the connector under the steering column first.

Correct. One set of noises is the AC rolling film mode door, and the click heard when depressing the brake pedal is the transmission shift lock solenoid. CCC :wave:

Add OEM air assist struts (P/N 88956655) for the rear deck lid to the Discontinued list. Aftermarket struts are still available here: Sachs SG330112 Gas Charged Trunk Lift Support At this price, it would be prudent to stock up on a pair to keep in reserve. CCC :wave:

This could be an issue related to the RAP (Retained Accessory Power) circuit. Under normal conditions, certain power functions are disabled after a ten-minute delay when the ignition is turned off. As you know, the radio should turn off when the door is opened after the ignition is turned...

Why did you replace a good fuse and then suspect the switch? A fuse is very easy to check. Guessing won't fix the problem until you get lucky and replace the faulty part. You could easily make a bad situation worse by taking things apart that aren't broken. This is a relatively easy problem...

Select "Y" body with the correct year and you're in. If you don't know what something is, don't experiment if it will be writing to a module. Reading module data is fine, and there's a lot to read. And yes, a case is a worthwhile investment. Do be aware that the Service manuals do not walk...

A cable is a normal wear-and-tear item. When was the last time it was inspected? Or lubricated? Ever? An attorney who graduated at the bottom of his class would destroy your argument without even breaking a sweat with a few simple questions. Brake lines are a normal wear-and-tear item...

Do be aware (if you plan on replacing the DSCC module yourself) that there's a special Kent-Moore tool to mechanically align the module when it's replaced. CC :wave:

You'll get a far better response to your questions by posting questions in the appropriate Technical section. This area is marked as, "Site Help and Feedback" meaning it's for issues and help with the XLR net website.

If you read related power steering posts, you'll find a wealth of information on the subject. In a nutshell, 04-05's had rectangular power steering fluid reservoirs that easily cracked and bled fluid down the front of the engine. The problem was solved in '06 with the introduction of a...

1. Easy fix for the ignition switch. Don't let kids drive the car, and don't press it at all when in motion. Ever. 2. Are all these issues new or from eighteen months ago? 3. Has any servicing been performed? 4. Is there power steering fluid in the reservoir? If the car has multiple issues...

This is not a recall item, it's called a failure and as such is unfortunate. Recalls are for systemic problems that are the result of poor engineering design, improper factory workmanship, or defective sourced parts that result in safety-related issues that may cause injury or death...

Powder-coating can be performed by most high-end body shops, or they'll send it out to someone who can. Just Google, "Powder-coating" + your zip code. CC
