    Help! 2005 XLR Dead Battery Multiple Problems

    i would stop trying to charge the dead battery. all those voltage spikes from diff chargers could fry something. just leave it alone. roll the drivers side window down if you can so you can get into it if you are locked out(inside a garage i assume??) let the car sit with the dead battery for a...

    Hello from the Beautiful Oregon Coast

    could find a badly wrecked/ salvage V as a donor ? if it was rear ended/ side swiped/ flipped you would have everything you need... it might be $$ but cheaper than buying everything individually. plus you get the donor vehicle to analyze and figure out how everything is setup. i bet theres a few...

    Suspension Question

    ok , so you are describing a scraping when going over bumps. do you mean like slow spped speed bumps? or any general pothole. is it coming from a wheel well type of area? or more the front of the car like under the bumper/engine? so you know, these cars ride very low to begin with. AND there is...

    Transmission cooler lines

    you can go to any area corvette specialist for trans maintenance. the trans etc are all very similar. my guess is old rubber hoses are cracking. however if they arent leaking why bother? probably local shop could take a look and do the same job for $200 instead of $1000. maybe a good idea to get...

    this is a thread that discusses erasing all fobs from the memory and relearning them all over again. probably what you are trying to do. on a side note, that old fob #2 you have might just be broken, may not be able to recognize it. might want to relearn that fresh #3 as the first fob and then...

    Help! 2005 XM Antenna

    if you are replacing an existing antenna, then the holes are already there, might as well replace with the same type of antenna. if you are looking at a new install, i would seriously consider NOT drilling holes , and install a wartless antenna. those warts ruin the lines of the car.
