    Roof panel detached while driving

    Until the root cause of the problem (laminar flow, cracked bond joints from vibration, defective materials, etc) is fully understood, any vendor marketing a potential solution could face a potential liability nightmare if the top were to separate. Such is our society. . . As a vendor, I...

    Roof panel detached while driving

    The folding top's exterior (including the rear deck lid) is not made of aluminum. It's called SMC (Sheet Molded Compound) a rigid, thermoset plastic. I wouldn't characterize it as a flying razor blade, --though I wouldn't want it flying end over end into my car. Without pictures of the leading...

    Site Update: 2004 - 2009 Cadillac XLR: Service Bulletin: #PIC5558: Additional Diagnosis For Folding Top Temperature Messages Displayed On

    It would be cheaper to install a new thermistor at the pump connector (bypassing the original thermistor) than replace the whole pump. CCC

    Help! Electric issues

    No wonder you aren't getting anywhere with them. They've given up before they've started. How can they not find a part that they haven't even identified? This is an excuse masquerading as an explanation. I'd look for another dealer. CC

    Help! Electric issues

    Ahhh. . . Water intrusion is the clue I was looking for. This would explain the intermittent nature of the problem. Since you had the windshield replaced, I would be highly suspect that water may have run down the passenger side A pillar and affected the BCM beneath. The BCM is the heart of...

    Help! Electric issues

    As for frequency, you mentioned it happens randomly, when you're driving, then later stated it happened once. Which is it? Do you store it in a garage? As a general rule, dealerships don't randomly remove/replace modules unless they are flagged during diagnostic testing. If they ran a full...

    Help! Electric issues

    A little more info would make it easier to understand your problem. 1. When do the messages appear? (Under what conditions, normal driving, on start-up, extended driving, after extended parking?) 2. Exactly which messages are displayed? 3. How old is the battery? 4. How long have you owned the...

    Love my toy but ready to pull my hair out

    I was surprised when you reported the fuel delivery problem was fixed by the installation of a new battery. I was not surprised when you reported the problem returned - if it's indeed the same problem. 1. Are you using a Battery Tender to keep the battery charged when the car sits idle for...

    Help! Seat HVAC

    Please don't thread-jack this thread. You should start a new thread, (There's a button for this.) and post your (unrelated) questions there under the appropriate title so it's easier for someone to find later. Otherwise the answer gets buried in another thread and any searches for information...

    Help! Seat HVAC

    Your original post was over a year ago, when you thought there was an easy fix involved for a problem that was never adequately described. Defining the symptoms of your problem, the parts needed, and seat side(s) you wish to replace them on would make it easier to help you. Asking for part...

    Help! CANNOT PLAN A ROUTE ON GPS..

    If the software operated correctly before, and after resetting the system, isn't controlling the hardware properly now, that points to a hardware issue. Since there isn't a Route Guidance software troubleshooting tree, the malfunction will likely be treated as a hardware problem and a dealer...

    Console noise at startup

    You might try removing all of the CDs in the changer and see if the noise changes or goes away. If that doesn't do anything, remove the navigation DVD as well and see if anything changes. CC :wave:

    Help! dead battery

    A little additional info that might be of help . . . The Service manual has a troubleshooting guide for this problem. After running a Tech 2 scan, it suggests replacing the Cooling Fan Speed Processor followed by the ECM. CC :wave:
