    XLR-V engine rattle on startup

    I ran my 07v to 250k without any internal engine issues(smoking finally ended it) I would put a code reader on it and check for misfiring. Maybe coil, or could be plug or injector going bad. I have had a couple of coils go bad.

    The end-all DRL modification

    The relay engages on power on (yellow light) and starts the timer of about 1/3 of a second (length of flasher light) and shuts off with power off and restarts for next flash. If the power stays on longer than the timer (DRL) the relay disengages after the timer ends and switches to white light...

    The end-all DRL modification

    Power is supplied to both timer circuit and common contact on the relay. Yellow LEDs are connected to timer on side of relay. White LED segments are connected to off side of the relay. What happens is when power is applied, the timer starts and relay connects to yellow. Timer is set to be just...

    LED Turn Signal/DRL problem

    What are you using for switchback functionality? No flashers in the system. BCM controls the lights. Common ground for all the lights. Really sounds like the bulb/circuit you are using for the DRL -switchback is bad.

    Supercharger oil

    I ran one 252,000 without any oil changes or issues. Your mileage may vary, but I don’t think it’s an issue for most.

    XLR-V Intermittent "Top Not Secure" warning

    Maybe the top center latch isn’t locking the top down or one of the two micro switches at the center latching mechanism is going bad.

    Jimmie - New Owner

    The LEDs in the switches burn out. I’ve changed mine couple of times. You have to replace the entire switch modules. They use to sell for about 19$ new but can be very difficult to fine anymore. Enjoy it.

    A couple of general questions

    2007 XLR-V Exhaust Module

    I’ve fixed mine a couple of times. I would say first thing to check is if you have 12 volts on gray wire on the small connector on the module with the car running. It has 1or 2 wires in it. If you have 5volts then the module is good. If not then check fuse, or is there a mild to wild module...
