This is an interesting question with an answer that surprised me. My first guess would have been a flasher relay wearing out. As we all know, there isn't anything normal about the XLR, when compared to what preceded it. The XLR doesn't use a (regular) flasher relay, and there isn't a whole...

Your HVAC troubleshooting options are few. If the Controller (aka "The CJ2 Control Head") is illuminated, power is present, which is always the first thing to verify. The temperature sensors control airflow to each zone, and wouldn't affect the blower motor in manual mode. Since the fault...

With a saturated marketing presence - eBay, Amazon, and all of the XLR sites where users go for parts and info, it wouldn't be hard to bring the unrealistic prices down being hawked by some of these people by undercutting them with more than competitive prices, good service, and word of mouth...
