    Jimmie - New Owner

    The LEDs in the switches burn out. I’ve changed mine couple of times. You have to replace the entire switch modules. They use to sell for about 19$ new but can be very difficult to fine anymore. Enjoy it.

    A couple of general questions

    I read that when the V came out in 06, they had problems with the wheels zebra wood cracking due to the heated steering wheel. So the produced without the wood trim till they came up with a solution in 08 I believe. Supposedly they offered a discount or to replace the steering wheels at a future...

    2007 XLR-V Exhaust Module

    I’ve fixed mine a couple of times. I would say first thing to check is if you have 12 volts on gray wire on the small connector on the module with the car running. It has 1or 2 wires in it. If you have 5volts then the module is good. If not then check fuse, or is there a mild to wild module...

    Faulty temperature readings

    I know mine read 75 constantly when the sensor was disconnected. So bad sensor or maybe wiring open/short?

    Refurbished Headlights

    One of the best things I did back in 2013 when I got my XLR was to put film on the headlights. To get around the import fees, you have to declare them to customs before you ship them out of the country. No import fees on returns just imports.

    New. China tail lights for 1300?

    There is a company listing them on aliexperess. I ordered a set and all I got was an offer to buy one used export version tail light. (Exports have orange turn signal lights) No new ones out there yet.

    Rear wheel bearing replacement

    Ya, I never understood putting the hub mounting bolt behind the lower ball joint nut. If the engineer twisted the hub 10 degrees, you wouldn’t have to separate the upper or lower ball joint to change the bearing and would take 20 min.

    Faulty temperature readings

    Any error message or codes set? Assuming your temp gauge is reading low, it’s probably a thermostat stuck open. You will usually get a message “engine hot AC turned off” and temp gauge will drop to zero (or actually 100 as that’s the lowest reading).

    Replaced Radio/Navigation unit in my 2009

    Assuming you are asking about aftermarket radio install in original faceplate, I used a Metra 95-6511 install kit and did some modifications to the side pieces. Looks good from the front.

    Help! SHOCKS/STRUTS/CONTROL ARMS

    If you have springs around you shocks, than you some aftermarket setup on there and none of the above advise applies to your situation. XLR come stock with a fiberglass spring that runs across the front (and one across the rear) to the lower control arms. Someone may have replaced this with...

    Interesting, didn’t know that. But than again, I replaced my head unit about 10 years ago.

    stereo volume goes up and down

    not that I noticed, but it does change when top is put down. So maybe a switch in the top mechanism someplace.
