Yeah...someone wanted her worse than I did, and I wanted his money more than he did. :cool: I am already looking for another one to rebuild. My current project is a Jeep Commander for the winter, but I WILL be back in an XLR before long. I bid on a black '04 yesterday, but didn't get it....so...

Ok...before I delivered her to her new owner today, I took the dash facia off and took some additional pictures. I think I have the answer to the trigger questions. The TR7 trigger is hooked up in the following manner: Orange is not used Green goes to blue with small white stripe white goes...

I had a coming to Jesus meeting with the Dealership Service Director today (nice guy BTW) and was charged a $60 diagnostic fee vs the $237. Apparently the service writer had written down everything on the service request wrong and had the mechanic thinking I had replaced the gauge cluster and...

So... my saga continues... I had her towed in on Sat and spent quite a while explaining to the Service Manager what had happened and why I thought it was the fuel pump. Explained I was a bodyshop owner and asked him to please have the tech check the pressure on the fuel rail first. Well, I...

It's back...a couple weeks ago it was out there for $100k and no bidders. There was a thread on here that got a bit humorous concerning that particular "custom."

When I first bought mine, the front wandered all over the road especially on the interstate with wallowed out lanes. I had a four wheel alignment performed and replaced the front tires. She now tracks beautifully on any road condition.

Oh no...I don't let her out of my sight without putting the top back up. I had the top up before going to get gas with the Ranger.

I will know soon...had her towed to the dealership today. Fortunately they have a couple certified XLR mechanics and perform service on quite a few so are very familiar with them. I will keep everyone posted on the outcome... :dunno:

...decided to take a nice drive through the State Park on my way home. Well, the DTC lied I did not have 43 miles to empty....and I ran out of gas halfway through my nice drive. A State Ranger was nice and got a gas can and took me to a station outside the Park where I got 4 gallons of gas...

Updating my build thread with some additional pics...

Yeah...it might happen to me too...but until it does, I am gonna enjoy them :D I'll call if I need bail money!

Welcome to the XLR family! :cool:

....replacing passenger side airbag and cover. My Blue Beastie was a labor of love. I rebuilt her after the PO allowed her to kiss some other vehicle in the ass and then gave her up for salvage. I've got a full rebuild thread on here...

:D

...realized I never posted a pic when I finished the install...

If that pic caused you anxiety, this pic should put you into a frothing fit or at the least cause you hives... :cool:

That is awesome! I love the LED and etched Acrylic plaques. I am getting a new WindResitor panel to replace mine which has fracture cracking and it will have the Cadillac emblem and say "...a gentleman's Corvette" under it.

I can shed a little light on some of this. The on/off is the valet switch for the top to keep them from playing with it. I know on Jeeps and other vehicles we DO touch the DISCONNECTED battery cables together to drain the last of the capacitors to reset everything. I have read on other...

...it is nice to know I am in good company.

Well, it is Birmingham, Al, so it is not huge but usually 50+ cars. Mine is the only XLR that ever shows up. Most people start arriving around 8:30 and usually start departing around 10:30. I was shooting pool until 2AM myself, and my GF did not want to get outa bed so we did not arrive until...
