    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    Stella, We owned the car about 6 months before all of this happened, no real issues before this, and the insurance company is refusing to pay out... their opinion is its mechanical failure due to lack of a physical strike on the body itself. They have completely ignored the tech who did the...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    the insurance company has made their decision, they believe mechanical failure due to no damage from a direct strike. I find it highly unlikely that Approx 30 Modules burnt out at once without some sort of outside influence. The tech is XLR certified and his opinion is lightening was the cause...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    Thanks for all the well wishes... The Tech that's been working on the car said a body strike is highly un likely due to it being composite (meaning no visual damage), But a near ground strike while the XLR is sitting on wet ground or a puddle is likely what happened.. Honestly if the...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    Ben, Well, the car finally went to the dealership, the Body control module was burnt as well as the receiver... I paid to replace the module and receiver. At that point the tech could communicate with the rest of the car, and every module is burnt out, none are returning any sort of...

    I plan on using Integrity Buick GMC Cadillac in Chattanooga, TN. They are about 30 miles from me (closest dealer) and I checked and was told they have 2 XLR trained techs.. so hopefully I can get the quality service this car needs..

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    Yea I believe it not recognizing the Fob is the root of everything.. once I open the door the alarm goes off and everything gets immobilized.. basically cut off at the knees.. cant even do the fob reprogramming at that point..

    this is my ride tonight due to the caddy being unhelpful in fixing itself... if anything goes wrong electrically on this one I can trace all 3 wires..

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    the car doesn't recognize anything, tried 2 batteries in the car, 3 batteries in the FOB, tried reprogramming the fob with the 5 turns in the hidden key hole to no avail.. the DIC will not come up with anything. If it simply didn't recognize the FOB i would get "No Fob Found".. it will not go...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    the only way for me to get into the car is by that key hole.. it doesn't turn off my security.. the alarm goes wild when i pull the door release inside the trunk... and i had to use the key hole to open the trunk... is there something special to turn the security off?

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    AAA is a great idea Im sure paying for a year of AAA will be a lot less than the tow alone... The only way I can get in the car is through that key hole.. open the trunk (Dead lift it up) then pull the manual door release to get the drivers door open... the key doesn't turn off the alarm for me...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    how exactly did you "turn off the security system in the rear"? this may solve some of my issues... lol who knows at this point.. I did check with the dealership.. they have 2 XLR trained techs.. so hopefully some one there can sort it if I cant.. gonna be costly im a 30+ mile tow to the...

Yes I had my foot on the brake.. also tried with it off the brake no change... usually itll (the DIC) say...

    05 XLR battery went dead now car is crazy...

    the battery wasn't discharged, it was charged to make sure it had a full charge.. everyone's old me it needs to be tip top to work correctly. i was just double checking a brand new battery. if the fob wasn't recognized at all it should say "no fob found" or something like that right? (that's...
