The Intellibeam feature first appeared on the 2005 STS, then re-appeared in its present form on the 2013 XTS, six months into the production run. It became more common in Cadillac models the following year. XLR production ceased in 2009 and inexplicably never received it. Similar function...

You are correct. You can change to non-MRC shocks, but the limitations caused by a toasted Suspension Control module remain in effect, besides the warning messages on the DIC. They are: 1. A command is sent to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) limiting the engine to 80 MPH. The PCM...

Verify the DVD unit can read disks by inserting a DVD while parked. If it plays, the map disk is probably hosed or needs to be cleaned. If it doesn't, use a DVD cleaner disk to de-funk the laser's lens. Maxell(R) Lens Cleaner For DVD-LC DVD | Staples(R) If that doesn't work, it's time to...

Computer is a generic term. The XLR operates using a network of nearly two dozen interconnected modules. Which module(s) are you interested in? (There are many in the car.) If you don't know the nomenclature, can you describe the location or function? CC :wave:

After installing the rear sway bar, I never noticed the ride becoming stiffer, just better planted with less body roll during high-speed cornering. As cheap as this mod is to do, (you can install it yourself) it's well worth the time and expense. CC :wave:

The KNIVO BTC 455 has been replaced by the 460: BTC460 Hands-Free Bluetooth Car Kit – Kinivo Ray is as busy as ever supplying adapter harnesses: C6 Product Ordering Page Original thread with how-to installation instructions here...

You have to twist the "band" around the stalk to activate the fog lights. A green indicator illuminates on the dash to confirm operation. Fuse#22 (located in the fuse box under the hood) protects the fog lamp circuit. CC :wave:

Two Year Review Two years later and the car still catches a backwards glance from me when I leave the garage to go into the house. A few months ago, it started making all kinds of creaking and groaning noises and any small bumps were transmitted throughout the frame. Being under warranty, I...

Was the supplemental friction modifier added? CC

As I mentioned previously, without a point-to-point connection description, (you need to locate all terminations and ring them out with a multi-meter) I'd only be guessing as to what was previously done, and that won't do you much good. You want answers, not guesses. A Tech 2 would be very...

The first picture looks like the vinyl cover was not installed correctly to cover the gap. It should look similar to the passenger side. There's a clip on the bottom that is a PITA to install if it comes loose. I suspect that is the problem. There is only one position sensor for the top -...

OnStar (as implemented in late model Cadillacs) has a lot of new features that may (or may not) be compatible with the XLR. Location Services offers the ability to download destinations directly to the Nav system remotely, using an app. I'll look up an address online, and send it to the car...

No, that's a first here. Activation of any electrical device, is a bit vague and generalized. Turn signals? Infotainment? Vanity mirror lighting? If it happens when operating door switches only (as the title implies) please read on. . . The RCDLR module authorizes the doors to open if a...

This looks like a cover -nothing more. The lights and grill appear to be graphics.

Conformal coating is used to encapsulate, insulate, and more importantly, protect a PCB from shock, humidity, and limited amounts of moisture. Conformally-coated PCBs are not difficult to work with if you have the training. Most modern conformal coatings are urethane-based, and easy to apply...

As long as they aren't crushed. maimed, or otherwise physically damaged, tail lights can be repaired for a lot less than what the used-parts market sometimes tries to extort. CC

Most likely the tail light has failed since both are wired the same. (All things being equal, the connector's pinouts need to match. . . you can verify that by connecting the good tail light on the opposite side and see if it works.) Here's a wiring diagram...

I think it will be six to eight years before any fruits of the current re-vitalization efforts at Cadillac are likely to appear. The Cadillac Confusion Tour reigns supreme at the moment, and it takes years to go from preliminary design proposals to cars gracing the dealer lots. The current...

Not sure if you checked the thread history before responding to Jay's post when he started this thread over two years ago, but the current member seeking help (Sammy) lives in Germany with minimal dealer support (or QuicKey) --though he might be interested in the eBay find you provided. CC :wave:

I returned my XT5 loaner this afternoon and was given a base four-banger turbocharged CTS until the work is completed on my car next week. This section has been dead for two years, so it's time to add something! The first thing that comes to mind might shed some light as to why Cadillac's...
