    When did Sirius XM finally cut yours off?

    I'd been hesitant to mention it, because it was nice getting XM radio for free, but today it finally went dark.

    When did or has it yet gone off?

    Still haven't gotten inside the lift gate. I was able to replace the stick-on tabs without removing the spinning insert. Someone must have had to get in there. Maybe he'll be along someday.

    That still wouldn't explain why the LEDs come on at start-up and immediately go off. The LEDs are still functioning. Just something in the switching isn't.
