    Curse of the 02-06 Escalade 3rd Brake Light

    Service Stability System Warning

    I think I found and corrected the problem. It was a bad chassis ground contact for ABS module located beneath driver side door. GM actually published a tech bulletin about this problem. I removed the ground, cleaned everything, tightened it back up using new nuts, washers and bolts mentioned in...

    Suggestions for removing frame ground bolt that spins but won't unscrew

    The nut is a threaded connector that appears to be welded to the frame. The bolt spins in the connector but will not unscrew. Bolt is too tight to use a flathead screwdriver for leverage. Evidently this is a common problem as GM issued a service bulletin to dealers to replace the connector with...

    Hood Won't Stay open

    Found the problem. The spring is missing from the passenger side hood hinge. Have no idea when it came apart. Ordered a set of OE hinges from ebay for ~$30.

    Hood Won't Stay open

    The hood springs on my 2006 Escalade seem to have lost tension. The hood will stay open, barely. But if I bump the truck the slams shut. Any suggestions as to how I can tighten the spring tension for the hood?

    Service Stability System Warning

    Thanks for the input. Back in the day it was possible to check for a bad wheel bearing by jacking up the suspect wheel off the ground and trying to "wiggle" it back and forth. If there was play the wheel bearing was bad. Does that still work on these trucks, or must I install a new wheel...

    Service Stability System Warning

    I have a bluedriver scanner. I don't think it can read BCM codes. No codes show up when I run a scan after the warning appears.

    Service Stability System Warning

    Doesn't seem to be. In most instances we are just driving along on the freeway a cruising speed. The warning light comes on and two chimes sound, then the warning light goes off. Can't recall it has ever happened while stopping or accelerating. It happens on average about once every two weeks.

    Bad Battery and OBD Codes

    Bad Batteries and OBD Codes. Check your battery first if your Escalade is pulling electrical related OBD codes. I just purchased a used car for my son.
