Mine went through a phase where the trunk would open when I opened the driver’s door. Turns out the interior trunk open button got tilted and stuck down on one corner. Freed it up and the problem ended. I also stopped using that button and just use the fob now. Like Mickey suggested, check...

My AC is blowing zero cold air on my ‘06 base. Put in more Freon, got to correct pressure when not running, pressure is supposed to increase with AC on but never changed. Today, 77 degrees, AC set to 69, per Tech 2 there was no AC request signal, AC clutch was off, compressor not running. I...

We have 2 that still roam well, but rarely. Since the pandemic/defund police the insane asylum let drivers loose in my area, so we’re selective on when and where we hit the road.

You have wonderful taste in vehicles! (All my family agrees as well) I see what looks like a CTS sedan tucked in the back too.

Up until a few months ago, the Cadillacs were ‘06 XLR, ‘07 XLR-V, ‘05 Escalade, ‘18 ATS Coupe 3.6 with sport package. ATS got sold, it was my daily driver for a long commute and the roads here are too full of fools to feel safe in that little car. After a prior string of ‘04 CTS, ‘08 STS, and...

If you’re ok with an online version, it’s on here - go to “Tech Center” in the top right corner and click on your year. Congrats on your V. We have a black ‘07.

Thanks Rob. Your updates are critical to keeping our babies running.

Agreed Gord - these cars are aging pretty gracefully. A few years ago I’d get asked if it was the “new” Cadillac model. I think light designs have changed enough I probably won’t get that question.

So some of our beauties will hit 20 this year - hard to believe it’s been that long since the first model year! If yours is 20, what do you plan to do to celebrate? I mean, it’s a big one, oughta do something! Mine still has a couple of years…

I had the oil pan and cam shaft leaks repaired on both our XLR’s, Oil pan leak came back on one of them. My dealer took it back & fixed ONLY that, no charge. Cadillac Tech on here told us it is very, very hard to get that oil pan on right and not have it leak. I’d tell them to try that...

Wow, only about 4.5 months to go and our XLR’s need some cleaning TLC! Haven’t been run much but dust builds up anyway.

If only words existed to describe this… Xenon vs. blue steel I REALLY can’t describe, maybe Xenon is “brighter”? Neiman Marcus blue and liquid amethyst aren’t the same. NM is more on the blue side, liquid amethyst more on the deep purple side. Try googling for pictures on the internet or...

I agree on bless Rob for keeping this forum going. I often wish there was a way to download the whole thing and keep it forever … so much of a goldmine here.

Agree with the above that if you need parts, they can be hard to find and expensive, especially any exterior lights. I hope if you’re using it for commuting that home and work have at least a covered parking space, or that you get a good cover. As a hard top convertible the car has a LOT of...

I had that happen when the trunk button in the cabin got a little sideways & stuck down on one side. Doesn’t sound like that was involved for you but may be worth checking into. Once the button was realigned all was well (& I switched to using the fob, easier to replace that than if the button...

So good to hear you taking this on and it sounds like you’re on the right track. The V dashes have been gone for a while, the leather tends to bubble (even when we’ll cared for) & the usual solution was just to replace it. So, even though you have a different problem, that’s why you can’t find...

Anddddd … due to a bum ankle the V ended up with an expired inspection, couldn’t take out on the road, and so it just got it’s second wash of the year today. Happy 6 month bath anniversary!

Mickey - What we bought was sold as factory GM and had the emblem on it, but either the box or part was marked as made in China. It’s been a few years so I don’t remember for certain, but I do remember an internal commentary about Chinese manufacture. Anyway, it’s a moot point - and of no...

I’m interested. We can bring our two XLR’s too. Rob, please highlight this! This a a visually “busy” site, it would be great if this doesn’t get lost in all of that!

Rod - thought I could help you because we got new ones for about a $100 a few years ago. Not great, made in China but serviceable. GM Part no. is 19330404 if you want to search. This place claims to have it, don’t know anything about them or if it will end up out if stock once you order...
