Markwho, the best advice so far. Ironically may last thought when getting out of the car was "I wonder if I should leave the window partially down?" I've been tied up through the holidays and am ready to attack this again. Thanks all.

Rob, I don't know about other years, but the 2005 does not have a place to use on the doors. Only place is the back bumper.

Rob, Thanks so much for your quick reply. I call your attention to the line: OH, did I mention that the Emergency Key does nothing. It turns and I can faintly hear something try to move, but it doesn't. No familiar "click" when electronics engage. Doors = 0, Trunk =0 and hood =0. Now what. If...

OK guys I am desperate. 2005 XLR garaged for a year on a trickle charger. Now not even a red light inside when I approach. No action at all. Changed battery in the FOB, no response. OH, did I mention that the Emergency Key does nothing. It turns and I can faintly hear something try to...

Been having top problems for a little more than a year. Dealers (2) replaced a couple grand in modules with no luck. Just had a full diagnostic on the car and the top. Started the car the next day and have warnings all over the dash, many that I have never seen before (except at start up)...

The spare water tank in the trunk where the control modules are kept has been found, drained and the modules replaced. dealership has been unable to get anything to work. My guess is that the computer is in the middle of the process (long story) and if I can get the top DOWN the system will...

Just moved to Forest Grove and recently spotted another Raven Black XLR. I'm interested in touching base with other XLR owners in the general Oregon/Washington area.

Don't mark me down yet Just learning of the event and would be a major goal for me. Working on restoration and much work to do.

Just checked on line, over $200 for a replacement solenoid? RU kidding me??? As I told them at the dealership last week, I just bought one of their cars, I don't own the whole company!

2005 XLR DVD player 90% of the time mine won't recognize the GPS DVD. It plays movies just fine. On rare occasions it will fine the disk and work fine, but it takes for freaking ever to do anything. I know in computers the DVD players have a common connector, has anyone been inside the...

XLR computer read outs go goofy Mine have done that a few times. The most common is the "Don't exceed 80 MPH" warning, which I rarely do in town anyhow. They seem to reset themselves in a day or two. It is annoying when you don't know what caused a problem or shy it stopped but it won't take...

XLR tail lights I once found a page on a XLR forum about tail lights. It explained how to remove and gently disassemble (they seem to be glued together) remove the lights and replace with modern red LEDs. (White will light up as pink). Same goes for the center trunk light. Sorry but I don't...

I had the same problem I had the same problem! When it first showed up it caused me to run out of gas on I-5 in Central California....miles from nowhere. I carried a small can of gas for a year after that. When I had to have the smog check the shop reset the computer to see if they had...

Same symptoms After buying my 05 XLR a year ago I find the original registration and found it was from Florida. I've crossed my fingers ever since. We had a large storm roll through So. Cal. two days ago that really dumped upon us and the next day I started seeing the same symptoms as...

Does anyone know what DVD ROM disks the DVD drive can use. There are standard ROM, double-layer and 2-sided. The NAV files do not fit on a standard ROM disk. OR is there any chance of patching something like a thumb-drive into the GPS as a data source. It would make life so much easier.

Tires for XLR I've never had a car with run-flat tires and was surprised to learn that I still don't. I've had my 2005 XLR for over a year and realize there is no place on board for a spare tire (or a full size suitcase). Soooo....we call a tow truck for any flat tire? Has anyone seen what...

Paul, I hope you find this. Your card is in my car and I don't know when I'll see it again. I missed attending the cars and coffee event on Saturday. Late Friday my car over-heated (a LOT) and is now in the shop. It seems as though the heat (steam) discolored the paint on the top of the...

I am new to my 2005 XLR, I'd like some feedback on what readings can be expected from the Oil Pressure gauge. All warmed up and at idle @ 600-700 RPM I'm only showing around 10# or less. Sometimes a lot less. Car has over 120K miles on it but still runs great.

My 2005 XLR at home, June 2014

2005 XLR map disk quest Guys, my search continues. I read somewhere (I've been looking everywhere) that the UPDATE disks will not work without the original disk being run first? Does anyone know if this is true? AND how do we get an original disk for a 2005 without having to rob a bank...
