Mickey - I owe you big time! I just realized that I had - buried - in my desk was a CD of an XLR Service Manual! And there were the wiring diagrams!!

I did not know that! Thanks Mickey!

I've got the two shop manuals (Vol 1 and 2), but they don't have wiring diagrams - that was a surprise! All I can figure out is maybe the positive cable has a short directly to ground. So I need to figure out where its first junction is and check the cable...

Thanks. I just haven't had time to check anything yet - summer boating season takes all my spare time. I'm going to get my VOM out tomorrow and see what it shows.

Great points. I'm surprised a fuse didn't blow. Next I will pull all high amp fuses and see what happens. Also need to look at wiring diagrams as well and trace the positive cable and see if it has a dead short. I did not feel it, but if the negative got really hot in two seconds, I bet it was...

No evidence of rodents - good suggestion, thanks. Going to pull all high amp fuses and try again...see if I can isolate the grounding circuit.

Battery worked fine last few seasons. Cables were not moved. A Cutout switch allows a battery to be disconnected without removing the terminals. @mickeytee is correct.

That's exactly what it sounded like, BUT my battery cutout is on the negative terminal and the battery terminals are not moved or touched from their original positions...

Put the XLR away last October for winter. As always, I put a trickle charger on the battery which I remotely activate 1 full day per month. Been doing this for 10 years. Came from our FL home last week and noticed the battery (AGM) was deader than a doornail. It would not take a charge. Before I...

Tom - thanks! That is EXACTLY what mine started doing last winter when I put her away. So you solution just pushed me over the edge to order a Tech 2!

Thanks Rob for posting all these SBs!

LOL - I hope I get it right before I go look at them!!!

Cubby - as I understand it, the LT2 is an option, the Z51 is an option, and the retractable hardtop is an option available after the first of next year... I did typo Z51 as ZR1...

Retractable hardtop 2LT with ZR1 is $80K...I wonder if my Chevy dealer will give me $10K for my XLR?

LOL - $125K will be a deal! And Caddy will make them for 5 years and then there will be no parts...just like Allante (I had 2) and XLR (I have 1)!!!

I may trade for one as well...I bet the dealers will add $15K to the initial ones...

I looked at the trade in value for my '05 XLR - about $10K. I have two spare headlights - I figure I could sell the four headlights for $10K and the two tail lights for $7K - and scrap the car and be ahead!!! That is really sad...

Thanks Baker - mine is doing the exact same thing - was waiting for a Tech 2 to do a top relearn, but I will try your solution and report back.

'05 Crimson Pearl, 93,000 miles, driven summers only. No problems so far...

Greg - I may be missing something, but if your FOB is "in proximity" of the car, the doors should unlock....
