I picked up a windshield chip on a recent road trip. It's small, on the passenger side, but visible. I had an auto glass company perform their filling technique, but, while hopefully cured of spreading, it is still visible (less that a dime in diameter). The glass company's vendors had no...

Welcome aboard!

Just curious if you would have been driving downtown Pensacola on Sunday, 4/7? We met a black XLR while in our black V, but didn't get a good look... wife said "There's another XLR!". There have been a few around over the years, but I haven't seen one lately until this one popped up. I have...

Ha! I take those speedo pix, as well. About to turn the big 80...

Congratulations on your new ride & welcome to the forum. There's a wealth of good information here provided by a bunch of good folks.

My experience has the underhood light "timing out" after approximately 20 minutes. The re-indexing of the windows after a battery change has been sufficient to restore action... with the possible exception of pre-set radio sound options.

I received this message a couple of years ago. My dealer determined it was a faulty thermostat... replaced it and have had no further incidents.

Welcome to the forum & XLR ownership, Fatbug57! Plenty of knowledge & information within the forum if assistance is needed. Enjoy your new ride!

I had a problem with my visor vanity mirror doors on my '06 V and had them replaced by my dealer. When I attempted to "learn" my garage door it would never activate.... using the Homelink learn sequence, of course. I finally determined that '06 vanity's were no longer available and they had...

One final question regarding the CD player portion of our entertainment systems: Since my CD player appears to be toast, is there a way to disconnect only it to prevent the "sorta irritating" 10 seconds of cycling that occurs each start up? Everything else works (thus far) and I'm not ready to...

Nav Disk removed with no effect on CD Changer. All buttons on CD display are "greyed out" except "LOAD". Pressing the LOAD button simply forces it to cycle through the usual progression as of late, and the CD at the slot is not accepted. Any further suggestions? Many thanks for your...

It appears Rule62 is right about the CD changer. I attempted to load one and it wouldn't accept it. Pressed the "LOAD" button and it cycled through and returned the message "CD ERROR". The "EJECT" button didn't release any CD's, although I really don't believe I've ever inserted one. I...

We're all familiar with the subtle buzzes, ticks & whrrr's that occur when we enter our vehicles as the normal electronic systems prepare for action. However, I've noticed of late that upon cranking up I get a steady "ticking" noise from behind the console (nav/radio area). It consists of a...

Update to my diffuser issue: Was able to re-clip the diffuser using Mark's method of hooked wire through the socket opening. Pretty delicate maneuver, but seems to be holding okay. I dabbed a bit of super glue on the clip with a Q-Tip after getting her set. I obtained the amber LEDs plus...

Thanks much for this post! I'm in the process now. Can anyone identify the wires used for turn signal/DRL on an '06? Perhaps they are the same "color" as on the OP's '04 but not sure & don't have a diagram at my disposal. Direction to a schematic would be great. Thanks!

Indeed, it does. Had settled on the sealant being a type of butyl. Every success story decreases my apprehension a bit, as it looks like we'll be needing to work with what we have relative to XLR headlight assemblies for the foreseeable future. Thanks, much!

I'll probably try that first, actually. Afraid the small split in one of the clips may have to be repaired warranting the access inside. Bet that was a delicate maneuver... congrats. Thanks.

Thanks for your input. Have considered the heat gun, as well. The advantage an oven offers would be that the entire adhesive area would be softened simultaneously... perhaps creating an advantage with the overall separation process. I can see where an accomplice would aid the handling procedure.

Wow! 94 views and not the first response. Guess I'll update my own post. A closer viewing showed that each of the diffuser side clips had detached from the tunnel slot. The outside clip (unseen in the photo) has a hairline crack in the center of the clip post and the reduced tension must...

I just happened to notice this last night when in my garage. The amber light diffuser with the engraved "XLR" on top had come unclipped on one side (inside) of my driver side assembly. I honestly didn't know that it was a separate piece that simply clipped into a slot on each respective side...
