    Rear Storage Release Assembly (between the seat backs)

    I would recommend doing your search on Google it will find links to this and other sites that match your search. Search on this site will depend on what app you are using to view it. I use an app called Tapatalk on my iPhone most of the time but it much different than using IE on a computer.

    Help! Open exhaust

    Only other parts are the controller in the left truck well(which isn’t available) or the vacuum solenoid found behind the right rear wheel( this is probably the issue as it’s the only moving part and is available for about $30) not to hard to change once you figure out how to pop it out of the...

    creaking noise in front suspension

    I would say spring adjusters worn out, rocks under them, or broken off completely(unfortunately this is usually what I have experienced)

    Help! Tires

    Not a lot available in matching tires in the proper sizes for the V. Forget run flats, I don’t think anything is available. I ran Nexens last time as they were reasonably priced, but Jack Williams is having a hard time finding a set this time. Haven’t looked very far yet. Let us know what you go...

    Help! Rattle noise in front of engine

    I found my front lower tension pulley broken at the mounting bolt a few years ago. I think it lead to a failed power steering pump and pulley assembly.

    Left hand turn

    Just so happens I rebuilt the rear suspension on my car on Sunday. Lower A arms, rear spring, wheel bearings, half axles. Here is pic of the spring adjuster that I knew was broken, thus the reason for this project. Broken one vs new one: Here is what’s left of the one that wasn’t even...

    Help! Running lights

    Canadian export XLR’s were configured so the DRL’s could not be turned off. USA cars can be turned off by turning the headlight stuck switch backwards. I would image you could just disconnect the wires going to the switch but I have not researched this aspect.

    Left hand turn

    Front or rear? I would start with checking the spring adjusters.

    ENGINE LIGHT ON

    You really have to read the codes, could be hundreds of things. Some auto parts stores will read them for free.

    Help! Hydraulic pump leak

    Common leak point is above the headliner from the latch at the windshield. Headliner will soak up quite a bit before you will notice it. Pump would leak into the bottom of the well that it is in. Maybe leak out the hole in the bottom?

    Help! Trunk lid wont lift, 2 dealerships gave up

    Check the grounds. Just about every glitchy problem we have with these cars is a ground problem.

    Help! Trunk lid wont lift, 2 dealerships gave up

    Have you replaced the trunk support struts. They are cylinders like the hood struts that off set the weight of the truck lid. Found on each side below the hing assembly.
