    Curse of the 02-06 Escalade 3rd Brake Light

    I bit the bullet and bought an OE new old stock 3rd brake light and a used trim piece. Not cheap, but works fine and looks good.

    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 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. As is my habit when purchasing a used car, I reviewed the Carfax and ran an OBD diagnostic. I noticed on the Carfax the battery had just been...

    Fix For Head Unit Receiver causing Parasitic drain?

    Thank you all for the suggestions. I took it to the shop which previously worked on the radio. They found a bad relay in the aftermarket harness was intermittently arming and producing the drain.

    Fix For Head Unit Receiver causing Parasitic drain?

    The radio was installed in 2021. I didn't notice a problem until about a month ago.

    Fix For Head Unit Receiver causing Parasitic drain?

    Does the fact the radio shuts down correctly when ignition is turned off and the drain doesn’t begin for a while after its off mean the problem is more likely in the head unit? People who installed it think the “sleep mode” logic in the head unit my be malfunctioning.

    Fix For Head Unit Receiver causing Parasitic drain?

    So we finally found the source of the parastic battery drain. It's the Pioneer AVIC8400 stereo head unit. But why it's happening is still a mystery. The drain is about 2amps. By removing fuses we found about half is from the head unit and the remainder is from the Bose amp. The kicker is that it...

    Remote battery disconnect switch

    Nothing was added or changed immediately before the drain got bad enough to not start the car when it sat overnight. It started about 3 weeks ago. The last electrical issue was the HVAC blower motor control module failed. That was about 3 or 4 months back. But with HVAC fuse removed the drain...

    Remote battery disconnect switch

    I've had the battery checked 3 times. It checks ok. I even fully charged it outside the truck and left it overnight which is the time it takes to drain when connected to the truck. The next morning the battery was still fully charged. I think I had my decimal point in the wrong place on original...

    Remote battery disconnect switch

    I'm having an issue with a parasitic drain of 110-170mA which I can't find. It Does Not Appear to be Fuse Related, as we removed all fuses, and the drain continues. Also, the drain doesn't cycle. It is always at least 110mA. I can't get it checked out by a shop before the end of March due to a...
