My XLR/V(s)
XLR-V silver 2006
I have a 2006 XLR-V. I'm have been having the following issues:

1. Waste Gate sticks so motor light is on.
2. Screen reads Motor Hot/AC OFF
3. The top Motor tends to not want to shut off. Which I have already replace the pump in it.

The Last to issues are intermittent.

Has anyone out there had these problems and what have you done to fix them. Please help. I inherited this car from my Mother and it might becoming a money pit. It only has 46K on it. I really don't want to sell it.
 
1. I assume you are talking about the bypass valve on the supercharger, waste gates are on turbo's. What makes you think it's sticking? Check all your vacuum and pressure lines. If you have a Tech2 you can check the bypass valve.

2. What is the temp gauge reading, is it really hot? I had a bad connection on the wire coming from the cooling fan, check and clean that.

3. If you aren't low on fluid, I got nothing.
