If you look at your profile, there is a trophy points score too (you have 28). Don't know where they come from or how they are awarded. Something the site software does? Are these the trophies the OP is asking about?
What condition is the battery in? If any doubt at all, fit a replacement. Our Xs are very, very picky about battery condition. Might not be the cause of this problem, but a poor battery will cause strange issues.
Do you have a Tech-2?
It shouldn't be possible for the RH tank to fail to fill, there is nothing clever about it, gas from the LH tank over-tops the connecting hose and it pours in. It is normal for the LH tank to be full and the RH tank empty, if you don't put enough gas in to fill the...
Thanks Mickytee.
No, there is no molded 'T', nor is it going to the top of the radiator.
The hose is a heater hose, going from just behind the throttle body and then down the side of the engine to the heater. The hose starts by going forwards before turning to run towards the cabin.
Re the...
Struts are McPherson struts. Very widely used on mass-produced front wheel drive cars of today. Sometimes on the rear. They combine the shock and spring in a single, near vertical tall unit giving more room in the engine bay for a transverse engine placement. They have a very complex top...
I can confirm great success with that tool too (EL-50448).
I had an idea the sequence is Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear?
I had to hold the pointy bit of the tool pointing at the TPMS, very close to each one. You get a double-beep after the last one to confirm success.
Hello all
My X has been suffering a very, very slow drop in coolant level (over 18 months a cup or three), which until recently I convinced myself was simply air purging out after a coolant replacement. Sadly it is an actual leak, though very slight.
I have found the leak's source, it is near...
My X developed a very modest and occasional slight 'sneeze' or delicate 'cough', while idling waiting at lights. In park there was nothing to notice and when moving, again nothing to notice. However, not right.
I plugged in the Tech II and it has a diagnostic function that displays a mis-fire...
That switch is a very simple device and easy to check with a meter. Make sure the harness end (plug) hasn't come away from the switch. Taking the battery out isn't likely to solve a switch problem, nor is there a reset for that switch; BUT XLRs detest poor batteries. Fit the correct battery...
Glad it worked for you. I carry a small can of contact cleaner in the rear stowage; the XLR (like many of today's 'latest and greatest') depends on its electronics and problems with connectors is the #1 cause of strange behaviors. I too kick myself for forgetting to check things where I really...
It sounds like the trunk lid is not being released. Does the lid sort of swell up near the tonneau cover? If so the hydraulics are working fine, but the trunk release isn't releasing (press the remote again to stop the pump). If you use the key in the rear slot, it mechanically releases the...
Replacing the battery (or at least getting it checked thoroughly) is a starting point, as XLR's display many gremlins with a poor battery fitted. However, you do state "an outstanding mechanic" and at that point it does point to more serious problems, sad to say. If there are no codes, it...
There is no reset I am aware of, it should just work. As it is reading too low, check for a high resistance, use some contact cleaner on the connectors, see if that fixes it.
This has been discussed before, a long time ago. IIRC the message is mis-leading and there is an electrical problem, probably minor. From memory it goes something like this. The message says 'hot' because the ECM does not know what temperature the engine is, but does know there is a sensor...
The Cadillac workshop manuals have generally been written to minimize the cost of repairs, with careful sequences of tests before reaching the 'change module' option.
