    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    That is what I assumed with a cold engine not under pressure. However my old mechanic skills do not always translate to modern engines/systems.

    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    Most recent work done was a new injector replacement, but nothing to do with the cooling system. The tank is at normal level.

    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    I have actually watched the video from this guy when he first got hold of that ESV a year or so ago. He acquired it from the dealership near me for a song. I actually reached out to them saying if they had any other deals like that, count me in, as that was a steal. As to the malady, I am...

    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    First of all, this video does help, as it mirrors my issue to the tee. Second, and before some say "I told you so", I had tried to look up my issue on Google and Youtube (that is why such suggestions can be pointless), and as we all know, sometimes one key word missing or some other variable...

    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    Well then tell me why even come to a forum like this, when the only two suggestions is to do what is obvious to most other people. If this was a very active forum, someone might give such responses as a bump post to bring it back up to the top some someone with knowledge might see it. But this...

    No offense is intended with the following reply to your post. Many of us do not need generic replies about checking factory manuals, or that we can buy information from Ebay, or Google is our friend. When I see fellow posters who need assistance, if I have the ability to help them, I give as...

    Fans run like the engine is overheating, coolant gauge reads no temperature, A/C disengaged.

    My 2015 Escalade was running fine, but I noticed a loud hum under the hood. The fans were running much faster than usual, so I looked at my coolant guage and it was reading zero, despite me having driven for miles. I pulled over and under the hood the temp felt fine, hose barely warm to the...

    Touch screen not working on lower half

    Hello, and welcome to the forum. If you read my thread, it might help you in that my screen started to malfunction in the exact same way. Eventually it became useless for any features. I had an extended warrantee, so mine was replaced by the dealership, but features I had on it before, were not...

    Say it isn't so Joe, say it isn't so

    As an update, as usual the SM gave me incorrect information. Since they did not replace the HMI module, the feature was still present, but not turned on/programmed back when the new screen was installed. That is the good news, as I have my pause and rewind feature still intact. The potential...

    Say it isn't so Joe, say it isn't so

    I was told by a company that sells refurbished screens, that the feature is not inside the unit that was replaced (think computer screen but the features are in the hardware itself) and instead in the "HMI module". So in theory, that unless they also replaced that module, the feature/s should...

    Say it isn't so Joe, say it isn't so

    I tried calling GM, and they have still not gotten back to me. Does anyone know if replacing the entire unit means HD radio no longer exists in the programming or not?

    Say it isn't so Joe, say it isn't so

    Aside from the various problems I am having with the dealer screwing me on the drivetrain warranty (see my other thread if interested) :flame:, I had my main screen replaced due to it freezing up as it became useless. When I got it back, they had replaced the entire unit. However when I went to...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    Well the latest tale of this story is that after I had to pay a portion of the valve job, I picked it up and within a couple of days of city driving short distances, my full tank of premium was down to empty, and the check engine light has come back on. It is not running as rough, but still...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    As an update GM didn't do squat, other than contact the dealership and buy whatever story they told them. Then when I got annoyed, they offered me a $100 coupon that I could apply to the bill the dealership expects me to pay. In the mean time the dealer said my ESV was ready, and if I didn't...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    The SM said he would warrantee it for 1 year if I agreed to pay my portion, but I am not sure how legit that is. Plus if I move to some other area, the warrantee would presumably only be with this dealer.

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    That is what I was thinking also, but that is the lame verbal excuse my SA gave me. If the problem they are claiming is the reason for it running rough and causing the check engine light to come on, they missed in the first 3 times I brought it in to them. Also when they replaced the lifter on...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    They still have it, will likely be doing the work, and expect me to pay 40%. As to them screwing me over, they seem to view it as doing me a special favor based on the calculator since my miles are so low for a 2015. I tried to do a search on carbon buildup for these motors, as the SA said...

    My dealership odyssey and claimed carbon buildup

    I need some sound advice on a current dilemma I have with my dealership, and them wanting $$$ to fix something that should have been covered under my factory powertrain warrantee before it expired. I had my 2015 in for service to determine why I was having a hard to slamming shift in late May...

    Gun Safe

    Well for starters, I and everyone reading your post from the globalists, Feds, and on down will be disappointed to hear you lost your SIG in a recent boating accident, many miles off shore, in very deep water. However if you were to hypothetically get another firearm which you might be...

    Denali clunking in steering wheel CONTINUED, Changeover to non power steering column

    I did fully extend my telescoping steering wheel, but the clicking remains. :(

    Denali clunking in steering wheel CONTINUED, Changeover to non power steering column

    I think there is another thread on this topic where I commented that I did not have such a noise/click. However this is the only one that popped up in my search. The reason I looked for this subject is that my 2015 ESV started to "click" when turning on occasion, but not often. I assumed this...

    The definitive thread about the differences between early build 2015 Escalade's and the 15.5's

    Apparently compared to what? I am just noticing it has been a while since I posted on this forum.

    The definitive thread about the differences between early build 2015 Escalade's and the 15.5's

    Well mine has it, but I discovered it by accident, not realizing the fob had to be on you when you attempted it. That is the good news. The bad news is that mine will not kick close. I know it is suppose to because I have seen videos Escalades doing so, but mine does not for some reason.

    Weigh Distribution Hitch

    I bought one of those when I needed a quick one and wasn't sure where else was open or nearby. It is ok, but is not as solid as other brands I've seen. Plus it is loose fitting which might seem ok when it has weight on it, but depending on the turn, bumps, road level it can move along with the...

    87 octane vs 91 octane

    Not that I know of. It is not badged that way, but I imagine Caddy's wouldn't carry that badge even if it were (for the upscale cosmetic look). I must say I am still more of a Sub guy, but certain things on this Escalade are nice.
