    Help! Folding top works OK but the Deck Lid will not open alone. It unlatches but the Hydraulic pump doesn't turn on.

    Since your folding top is operating correctly, re-indexing the windows shouldn't have any affect. A number of owners have described the same symptoms as you (I had this issue several times) and it was initially corrected by putting the folding top through two or three complete cycles. Since...

    R/rear turn sinal

    Says the guy who has been pouting since I pointed out how slim the chances of you EVER bringing an affordable 3D-printed headlight to market. I'm still waiting to see that product. If you can pull it off, I'll be stupefied and admit I was wrong. However. . . Your only consistent behavior...

    R/rear turn sinal

    Way above my skill level? LMFAO. You don't have the slightest clue regarding my skill(s) level, proving you have no idea what you're talking about, which isn't surprising --based on your previous posts. Not sure why you feel the need to publicly embarrass yourself with non-factual...

    Trunk Bumper Assembly

    The material for the rear deck lid bumpers is similar to gel-filled, rubber motor mounts. The older the mounts get, the less they retain their conical shape and become more prone to whatever is in the interior running out. As time goes by, there are an increasing number of posts, just like...

    Intermittent Trunk Behavior

    To clarify the excellent advice in the previous post, there are two kinds of cylinders that support the rear deck lid - two hydraulic lift cylinders and two smaller, air-assist struts. These tend to leak over time, and luckily, aren't overly expensive -when compared to the hydraulic cylinders...

    Vetronix Tech 2

    GM service manuals are definitely recommended with a Tech 2. The definition of the Top Relearn mode has been posted previously, so it's easier for you to use the search function to find it than to re-write it. Here's how it's performed: Top Relearn Procedure Navigate to: Vehicle Control...

    Cruise control

    Here's the original TSB, also located in a previous thread on this site. Traction Control and StabiliTRAC are independent functions controlled by the same switch. (See your owner's manual for operation of the Traction Control Switch.) Note that another message besides the one in the TSB...

    Top Stuck & Ticked off?? Here's a few Convertible Top Tricks

    A couple of thoughts come to mind after reading your post. #1: This is general knowledge. The windows must be indexed before the folding top sequence can begin; in other words, your top can't get stuck in the halfway position if the windows aren't indexed because the sequence to move it...

    Cruise control

    Having Traction Control ON (the default condition) is not the same as having it active. When TC is active, ACC disengages (as it should.) The intermittent fault with the previously-mentioned connector will set TC to active, disabling ACC. This might be the cause of your problem; a wheel...

    Cruise control

    This condition is rare, but not unheard of. You are correct, enabling Traction Control will disengage Adaptive Cruise Control. If the intermittent fretting connector condition under your steering column (many posts on this problem/dealer fix) is present in your vehicle, it could signal that...

    Help! Hanging wire

    Prior year models had a mesh/foam net stretched across the front of the trunk to protect/cover the front tonneau cover mechanisms. Judging by the width of the clip space and the thickness of the linkage above it, it seems like it ought to attach there. As previously mentioned, there should be...
