2007 XL7. Why doesn't the information center work?
XL7 not XL-7 (the dash matters big time)
i'll guess its a dash.7
REDUX
in your post you said fuses are good (tested too)
have you checked and reseated the connectors on the OBJECTS that fail>?? (that is free to do)
we now learn many things fail on car,
even HEAD LIGHTS?????
and no statement of what works. in total!
does car drive perfect night and day?????
just a clue here, and win big. huh>?
I can't drive your car and see all those many things failing,& that are. ok .. and what does not fail....
but this car has CAN-bus (or the like)
a NETWORK for sure, and bus structured.
and does not work like some 1990 Vitara.
at all, not even close to same. (forget them...)
it's a BUS system.
each switch you throw sends a command on the bus.
it's failing I bet because of communication errors
that you fail to see because you did not use a real scan tool at the time of failure.
it must be scanned while failing !
cant fix it if its not broke,...(unless you drive
scan and log data. like i do all the time for all intermittent of any kind....)
does it fail engine running?
is running battery voltage at 13.3 to 15vdc
if voltage is low all computers in car will go nuts. (same with your cell phone)
this is a fact and what i check first?
valid battery voltages first.
2nd after fuses, (done already)
then scan it. using a real scan tool
not some relic.
a real tool can see all CAN buss errors
U codes top the list.
P1,p2, p3 and B codes too.... all seen.
failing.
you can buy tools
rent tools
or get the car scanned failing at any ASE shop.
car parts store may have junky or relic tools.
(i can name 10 that are)
some tools only do old federal P0xxx codes. say some old 1996 tool.
try a real shop and win. really
