Thank you for posting this video. I've been troubleshooting a similar set of issues with my Dad's 2008 Silverado. His ground strap isn't nearly as corroded as the one you had but it's getting there. Can't see where it connects to the engine without a mirror. I went ahead and ran another ground just like the one you made. I've got my fingers crossed that he won't have any further issues with it. I also did a few other preventive measures along with inspecting wiring items listed in service bulletin 08-07-30-021G. I had to laugh at the people that were giving you $hit about your engine bay. They obviously don't know what it's like to live in the rust belt. I live in Maine and the crap they treat the roads with in the Winter just destroys our vehicles. Thanks again, the video was appreciated.

Thank you for your video, hopefully solves my grounding strap issue. That hood is a static ground that also mounts to the fire wall.

It's not the CPU . I just bought a 08 esv that had the same problem. Look to the left of the transfer case under the truck . To the left are a set of wires . 9 times out of 10 , they have been grounded by the knuckle under there . I spliced those wires and hooked them back up with heat shrink . Once I fired up the truck, everything went back to normal ! No bullshit

The Escalade is known to have problems with both positive and ground lead wires on the battery, they will cause this.

My car didn’t start after after one hour of my massage appointment. Had to take ride home leaving my Escalade at the parade. Next day I tried a few things I saw on KZbin without success. I disconnected battery terminals and reconnect, It started fine. Unsure what to do due to unreliability. I love this truck

I had same problem. 08 Escalade. My screen and lights would flicker.. turn and and off as I drove... truck would not start no power at all.. mins later it would start no problem. Changed the ground/negative black battery cable, they corrode on the inside.. never had a problem again and it's been 3 yrs now. Cadillac also tried to get me to spend a couple grand.

Mufee I have a 2012 hybrid escalade. Had to take it to the dealer. They are telling me it has like 20 different electrical issues. That they can’t even tell me how much it will wind up costing in the end. Not doing it. So I guess I have an expensive paper weight.

Good video! I have 2007 Ext and my backup lights stay on and will not turn off.. do you know anything about this?
@cacinturner92874 жыл бұрын
Hello, I don't know why your back up lights stay on. What I would do is hook a trailer up to you EXT that has reverse lights. Or buy a trailer light kit with reverse lights off Amazon, should be about $25 to $60. Test to see if your reverse lights stay on, on the trailer lights. If the reverse lights are on, on the trailer and won't go out when you put it in park or drive.. Then I would have to say take it to Cadillac. But if the reverse lights turn off on the trailer lights when in park or drive. I would say splice the trailer reverse light wire, re route the reverse light trailer wire to you reverse light on your EXT and see if that works. That's what I did on my right brake light that stopped working, despite putting new bulbs in. I'll put a link to the videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3bUnWuadrh_d5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHyuo2p4itimqbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3a6pnaIeNN7f8U

Good morning you tubers I need help some advice, my ext dies on me when I use for more less 2 hours, it dies and it won’t start up again after a while, it only cranks but won’t start, I took it to several shops and they won’t find the issue, it’s frustrating when nobody knows what the issue is, I did replaced the crankshaft position sensor and still dies on me, if anybody knows what the problem is I greatly appreciate the help, thanks.
