    Automatic headlight

    The Intellibeam feature first appeared on the 2005 STS, then re-appeared in its present form on the 2013 XTS, six months into the production run. It became more common in Cadillac models the following year. XLR production ceased in 2009 and inexplicably never received it. Similar function...

    Solution for Suspension Control?

    You are correct. You can change to non-MRC shocks, but the limitations caused by a toasted Suspension Control module remain in effect, besides the warning messages on the DIC. They are: 1. A command is sent to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) limiting the engine to 80 MPH. The PCM...

    DVD disc problem

    Verify the DVD unit can read disks by inserting a DVD while parked. If it plays, the map disk is probably hosed or needs to be cleaned. If it doesn't, use a DVD cleaner disk to de-funk the laser's lens. Maxell(R) Lens Cleaner For DVD-LC DVD | Staples(R) If that doesn't work, it's time to...

    Xlr computer

    Computer is a generic term. The XLR operates using a network of nearly two dozen interconnected modules. Which module(s) are you interested in? (There are many in the car.) If you don't know the nomenclature, can you describe the location or function? CC :wave:

    SWAY BAR

    After installing the rear sway bar, I never noticed the ride becoming stiffer, just better planted with less body roll during high-speed cornering. As cheap as this mod is to do, (you can install it yourself) it's well worth the time and expense. CC :wave:

    No fog lights?

    You have to twist the "band" around the stalk to activate the fog lights. A green indicator illuminates on the dash to confirm operation. Fuse#22 (located in the fuse box under the hood) protects the fog lamp circuit. CC :wave:

    XTS Impressions After Two Months

    Two Year Review Two years later and the car still catches a backwards glance from me when I leave the garage to go into the house. A few months ago, it started making all kinds of creaking and groaning noises and any small bumps were transmitted throughout the frame. Being under warranty, I...

    Help! Need pictures to see what I am missing

    As I mentioned previously, without a point-to-point connection description, (you need to locate all terminations and ring them out with a multi-meter) I'd only be guessing as to what was previously done, and that won't do you much good. You want answers, not guesses. A Tech 2 would be very...

    Help! Need pictures to see what I am missing

    The first picture looks like the vinyl cover was not installed correctly to cover the gap. It should look similar to the passenger side. There's a clip on the bottom that is a PITA to install if it comes loose. I suspect that is the problem. There is only one position sensor for the top -...

    on star

    OnStar (as implemented in late model Cadillacs) has a lot of new features that may (or may not) be compatible with the XLR. Location Services offers the ability to download destinations directly to the Nav system remotely, using an app. I'll look up an address online, and send it to the car...

    Help! Trunk opens when door key pad is touched.

    No, that's a first here. Activation of any electrical device, is a bit vague and generalized. Turn signals? Infotainment? Vanity mirror lighting? If it happens when operating door switches only (as the title implies) please read on. . . The RCDLR module authorizes the doors to open if a...

    how to change tail light bulbs 2005 xlr

    Conformal coating is used to encapsulate, insulate, and more importantly, protect a PCB from shock, humidity, and limited amounts of moisture. Conformally-coated PCBs are not difficult to work with if you have the training. Most modern conformal coatings are urethane-based, and easy to apply...

    Tail light wiring harness

    As long as they aren't crushed. maimed, or otherwise physically damaged, tail lights can be repaired for a lot less than what the used-parts market sometimes tries to extort. CC
