    Disable Adaptive Cruise Control

    I don't think you can override the adaptive cruise control. I'm sure if you remove the radar sensor the system stops working altogether.

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    Mine are LED and working, but they are only Amber. Which makes sense since the original wiring implies only a single filament ever gets power. The white never gets any power with our sockets. I think I was mistaken that the white ever worked. Its really hard to test the DRL cuz you have to be in...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    I've got all the other bulbs in the headlights working. All replaced with new LEDs..side markers are good, parking lights are good, fog lights good, etc. I had to turn a few around to get the "polarity" correct for the LEDs. I'm trying to remember if I ever actually saw the switchbacks working...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    found this. as i suspected. but why did the switchbacks work for 2 weeks and just stop? and why doesnt it illuminate my amber all the time as DRL? and why dont the old bulbs work ? quoted from an old thread I think I may have figured out why the 'switch back' LED bulbs do not work with the...

But now it seems like its off? how do i turn it ON I have the headlight stalk in auto, and have tried many other settings, combos. Is there a setting somewhere? Today with the new sylvania filament bulbs 3757A ( i...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    Ok latest news. Looked at grounds they are very clean. Pulled the headlight housing and ohm tested several bulb bases and grounds have continuity. It's not a ground issue. I did fix the orange flasher issue on the left side. With some wiggling of the bulb I discovered...Tiny contacts on the...

    Tech 2

    https://www.vxdiagshop.com/wholesale/vxdiag-vcx-nano-for-gm-opel.html I bought this one a year ago, it's wired. You set it up on a laptop. Older laptop is better, newer windows security etc doesn't like this unit. It took a bit to get the computer to communicate with the reader and the car. But...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    Yup I will do that tonight after midnight when I get home from work. Update, i didn't do anything yet... Now both orange blinker LEDs are acting normal. Right one doesn't think it's the DRL anymore. And left one works again. Both blinkers working normal again. But both DRL don't function. At...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    update when using the 4way hazard lights (different flasher correct?) rears flash fine front right flashes fine front left still no flash so i i think this indicates either no power at all going to front left turn signal/drl circuit or the led switchback bulb circuitry got cooked completely. the...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    Recently installed all new LEDs in the headlights. With the switchback LED for the turnsignal/drl. They were working great. white light for DRL, and automatically switched to yellow for turnsignals. Well yesterday DRL switchbacks stopped activating, started acting weird. What wires can i check...

    Bearing hum?

    07 xlr, 68k. From about 45mph and up I get a low hum or growl, gets a little louder as I go faster, but never real loud. It gets louder when I do a left sweeper turn, and it goes away when I do a right sweeper. So it's something on the right side. Shop guessed wheel bearing, so we redid both...

    Headlight Lenses Available

    Great for those who need a lens, no wonder they sold quick!! Could easily do a clear ppf like expel on the new lenses to protect them from UV and cracks. I bet these resurrect a few cars👍

    Shocks XLR

    quick question, i just recently replaced all my shocks with Bilsteins. Tricked the stability control system with 8 resistors. one for each strut and each ride height sensor. I'm trying to get a stock measurement at all four wheels now for height adjustments. can you measure the ground to edge of...

    Lower bumper breakaway shield ???

    could you run with just a center skirt and leave off the sides? this is nearly invisible , way under the car. the only time i notice if a car has one is if its ripped and hanging down. lol i know its cheesy, but really if parts are no longer available, i dont think it would be noticeable.

    Shocks XLR

    i used the b8 bilsteins, its stiffer than stock, depends on your local roads, if you like it or not. i think the b6 would have been too soft. maybe the zo6 is the best. i was setup with the b8 by a local corvette specialist shop. thats what they do all the vettes that arent setup for racing...

    Intermittant light for stability control

    ride height sensors can be disabled with a resistor kit, when you switch to non magnetic shocks. with a tech 2 it is relatively easy to diagnose which shock or which ride height sensor is malfunctioning. if you do 4 standard shocks like mickeytee was suggesting, the resistor kit will have 8...

    replaced battery now car will not start

    From an old thread here... Do the brake lights work correctly? Ie, do they come on with pressure on the brake pedal and go off when you take your foot off? If not, consider a fault in the brake pedal position sensor and/or circuit. The BPPS can be recalibrated with a Tech-2. If you have a...
