2003 Cadillac Escalade AWD - A Start-Up & Complete Documentation

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Beautiful luxury SUV that's white diamond and it's also the luxury counterparts of the GMC Yukon Denali as well as the Chevrolet Tahoe

[@josephcummings4205]

Can you show us how to open and close the rear window on the liftgate? I bought my 2003 Escalade used with a BUNCH of cosmetic issues, the liftgate doesnt open at all AND the rear hatch window on the liftgate has always been open and it will NOT latch shut

[@1987Indy500]

There is a button in the Cadillac emblem, push it.

“Interesting wood piece up there” LOL

[@weaxar]

did you have a lot of problems with it? im looking to buy one

[@josephcummings4205]

How much did you sell this Escalade for? Or whats the price if you still have it?

[@josephcummings4205]

As for mechanical issues, there is a parasitic drain on the battery so I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY everytime I park the truck, if I leave it connected for a few hours or overnight it ALWAYS drains the battery 100% to the point I cant jump start it and have to take to Autozone and have it charged. It has ruined a couple of batteries this way, luckily 1 was still under warranty

Alternator replacement

Does the factory radio controls and CD player work with the aftermarket radio

[@calscarcorner3526]

I'm not sure, I didn't try it. Interesting though how there's the factory CD player and what I'm assuming is a CD player in the aftermarket unit.

[@calscarcorner3526]

@@fordmustang98guy Yep, if I am able to.

@@calscarcorner3526 - Sir, I just bought a 2003 from my sister who only had it for 2 months. I literally just brought it home. Was looking it over amd reading the manuals trying to figure out the Navigation dystem amd realized it needed a CD in order to load software. I have been watching these videos for 2003 Escalades because I knew I was buyingy sisters however no one on anu videos I've watched mentions a cd is needed to operate the Navigation system. Do you have anu idea how I cam get this wothoit paying 200 dollars.

[@VicTorovsky]

whats the name of the exhaust?

[@scarymovie636]

Do it really have lowgear?

[@josephcummings4205]

Also the truck had an aftermarket air filter when I bought it, its cone shaped and doesnt have the built-in box to keep it secure, a while after I got it I noticed the air filter had fallen off and I put it back on but it kept falling off, A LOT, ive been looking into replacing it for an original design air filter but I would also need the box and things that go with it. I finally found a temporary solution to keep it from falling off, but honestly I think this is a very reliable vehicle and I just bought 1 that has been thru a LOT OF WEAR AND TEAR, also the gas mileage is not great but the engine and transmission are super reliable

[@SlitWristMisfit_]

How do you turn on the AWD? How can you tell if it's AWD since the Escalade doesn't have AWD badges to distinguish it from non AWD models?

[@josephcummings4205]

My interior is much different than the Escalade in this video, I only have a 2nd row 60/40 bench seat, no third row, and the backseats I could only get them to fold down a few times to clean the trunk but since then I cant fold them ! The rear passenger window works intermittenly, and the rear passenger controls dont really work either in the middle console or in the front overhead console

[@ROADRUNNINHB]

I got one that’s pristine!!! And she’s for sale!

[@thalo9237]

Is it still for sale?

[@rolandphippen9624]

What if any issues did these have

[@thetechlibrarian]

Transmission and lifter issues on the engine, there’s pros and cons. There are a lot of parts out there so if you can do the work yourself or not have to pay someone full price every time. it’s not too bad.

[@josephcummings4205]

Something really interesting is that we couldnt get the liftgate open as much we tried, but one day when I started driving to work, the liftgate OPENED ON ITS OWN! I had to pull over and close it and hurry to get to work, since that day I STILL CANNOT open it! 😩

[@blackdiamond2977]

Anyone here know where I can get a CD for the 2003 Cadillac Escalade? Just bought one and there is no Navigation software. Had no idea that it needed one.

[@SpeedG0d5150]

Try ebay? Or Facebook Marketplace

[@josephcummings4205]

It has a bunch of cosmetic issues, the front windows dont work, the sunroof doesnt work, its missing stereos and a speaker in the trunk, the DVD PLAYER AND DVD SCREENS dont work, and some of them were also taken out prior to me owning it

[@knightmareking1342]

Its funny how the 6.0 fuel gauge doesnt work not even on my silverado 3500 it wasnt working either not even after installing a new one nothing but headaches ill pass on the 6.0

[@shawntaylor9945]

Something going on with that fuel gauge

[@fcm2790]
