MT, I had the same issue with mine, and eventually the top would not raise. It turned out that the front position (tonneau) sensor was bad. The readings on the TechII would show the position as ‘mid’. What I believe was happening is that the top cycle would not complete because the front...

Marc, Sorry to hear you have parted with your beautiful XLR. I always liked the color and wheel combo that you had and you kept it it showroom shape. Enjoyed the times we had with the XLR group. I parted with mine a year ago, it was time. Good luck to you and Kris in retirement.

Sold my XLR. Selling for what I paid for it. Chinese clone but works fine. I have done top relearn and many other diagnostics.

I know this thread is a couple months old. The fuel gauge issue is a known issue on both Corvettes and the XLR. It is usually the sending unit but sometimes the siphon plugs that equalizes the tanks. Try putting Techron fuel treatment in for 2 or 3 consecutive fill ups. Members here have...

Pat, I’m in Ohio and I store mine every winter. The key is to use a battery tender, one with a microprocessor that monitors your battery and only provides enough charge to keep it at optimum, it also prevents sulfadation in your battery. Here is a helpful article that outlines key things to...

Ditto on the Continental‘s, they don’t make run-flats, but mine are 5 years old and 20k miles and still going strong. if you desire run flats, some members report that the Bridgestone Driveguards are a decent tire.

Mine does that if the fob is in my left pocket buried under my other keys. I take it out of my pocket and starts right up. Gets worse as the battery is not new. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have also reprogrammed mine using a 3” donut magnet. It has to be large enough to fit around the stem and strong enough for the TPMs to see the magnetic field. This solution was posted on this site several years ago. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One thing to consider is that just because the battery reads 14V doesn’t mean that it is providing the amps needed to provide all of the computers that run modern cars. Take the car to an autozone. They can run a scan for diagnostic trouble codes. If you are getting low voltages to one or...

Have a mechanic scan for DTC codes, that should narrow it down. Search on this site, there is also a TSB for a loose connector in the steering column on ‘04s and ‘05s, not sure if that has that has an effect or not, but a known issue. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Members here have reported the Driveguard runflats by Bridgestone are both affordable and perform satisfactorily. Personally, I have Continental Extreme Contact DWS high performance all weather tire (non-run flats). I have been very happy with these. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Will need to investigate seat removal as BCM has many interactions with seat position, etc. you will get continuous DTC’s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Alan, Thanks! It’s about 2 hours from here. I’ll definitely pay them a visit! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Installing simulators will not solve your problem. The Body Control Module (BCM) is bad or not communicating with the other modules as to its status. It has been reported here previously that there are 7 ground connections that can cause phantom errors. Look for posts on this site relating to...

You can program up to 4 fobs, just beware that the ones you reprogram will be #3 & 4. Don’t throw your old one out because the seat and mirror programming won’t work with the #3&4 fobs. Good to have back ups, but if your old fob goes bad, only a dealership can reprogram the fobs for the #1 &2...

Polly, welcome to the forum. Take time to search the suits for common problems and solutions. Our s are more than 15 years old, so are bound to have some gremlins pop up. Good luck and enjoy your ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The last time my battery died, I had about 15 codes show up, all low voltage to various sensors. Your mechanic should be able to distinguish those from others with a Tech II scanner. Did you check the battery? Even a weak battery that still tests OK for voltage will cause issues, it won’t...

The tire pressure sensors only last about 10 years, I had to change mine 2 years ago on my 2004, so those lasted 13 years. Buy the Dorman’s on Amazon. I bought OEM and my mechanic told me he installed OEM’s on a Corvette only to have 2 of them fail out of the box. He substituted my OEM’s for...
