You're very welcome, Alex. Thank you so much for watching!

It's definitely going bad. If I were you, I would replace it soon before it get stuck on you. Thanks for watching.

Here is a link to the part for your vehicle.... www.amazon.com/Assembly-Suburban-Traverse-Cadillac-Escalade/dp/B0BBRKRHQ8/ref=asc_df_B0BBRKRHQ8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=622809676531&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18286382533862406918&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021629&hvtargid=pla-1807380160460&th=1

Change that still not latching when I close

You purchased a new actuator?

You're very welcome. I have Pandora and my settings are always set on thumbprint. Whatever comes on, I just flow to the music. ANY genre. Thank you SO much for watching.

I don't believe there's a hot and cold fill level. It's an hydraulic fluid. It will only be low or partially full. If it's low, then you have a potential leak somewhere. I wouldn't worry about the power steering fluid unless you are getting a whining noise in which will indicate low fluid. I also wouldn't worry about the thernostat. They rarely go bad. But, it's up to you. Great job on all the work you have done!

@@TerenceDIY Well yeah, I just checked the thermostat, it's still good. The Ac belt still good, and my engine belt good, for the most part. But, will buy both belts, to have in reserve. But, far as the power steering, I have a hot/cold, dip stick. So, just was wondering if it suppose to be filled up to the hot, or cold line? I have a 2008, Chevy Express.

@@conradsuddarth632 , I apologize. There is a hot and cold line on your van (same year as mine). Check it when the vehicle cools off. It should be at the cold line and vice versa when the van is hot it should be at the hot line.

@@TerenceDIY , ok cool. Hey, I was able to replace, the water pump. Thank God, for guiding me through it. But, getting those radiator hoses off was something terrible. So, I am making sure everying is up to date, because I do not want to go back under that no time soon, after all this. SMH. However, I'm glad I was able to do the maintence myself & learned from you, along with a few other people, on RU-vid. I saved myself probably $2500- $3000, on labor fees. Only spent $600 on all my parts, & put the work in myself. Car shops in Detroit, be trying to hit your pockets, big time. I ask a guy how much he would charge me to change my spark plugs & wires, he said $400. So, did everything myself. Hope ya had a good day, though.

@@conradsuddarth632 , Great job!! I am very happy that you managed to do all the work yourself. Once again, great job and thanks for watching!

Absolutely. The humming noise is probably coming from the actuator because it is seized.

@@TerenceDIY your so right Bro, it’s all fixed and working like I just bought it. I have to figure out know why my handles not working.

Although my truck is fully loaded I don't see why that button wouldn't have been an option on all trims. However, it may not have been.

Did you check the fuses?

...or the struts on each side might be the issue. Which battery? The vehicle battery or remote battery?

Your door is doing exactly as mine was. Yes, the liftgate actuator will fix your problem. Thank you SO much for watching.

@@TerenceDIY thanks! I used the link to the part you put up and just replaced it exactly as you showed. It worked perfectly. Thanks man!

That's awesome Matt! Thanks for watching!

Hi Bobby, I believe there is but I'm not sure where it's at. It would be easier to disconnect the battery if you have the door open already. Thanks for watching.

@@TerenceDIY Ty for this video. Really helped a lot.

You're very welcome Bobby.

It's funny you mentioned this. My Suburban is doing it right now! Lol. It started a couple weeks ago. As soon as I get time, I am going to fix it and film a detailed video of the fix. Thanks for watching.

@@TerenceDIY Crazy! Any idea what makes it happen?

I think it has something to do with the BCM (Body Control Module). I'll dive deep into it as soon as I finish these other jobs that's in front of me.

​@TerenceDIY waiting for that video brotha ✊️

@@TerenceDIY Have you had the chance to chase down this issue? My Tahoe does the same thing. It drives me insane!

The actuator is your problem. Once replaced, you should be all good. It's fairly inexpensive and a quick fix. Here is a link for the part (below).

@@TerenceDIY thank you for the response! However, i can’t get the trunk to open to actually get to the actuator! Is there any way to force it to open?

@@elismith798 , there's actually a few youtube videos that show how to open it manually (that's why I didn't make one). There's a small circle on the interior section on that hatch. The circle is located in the vicinity of the latch. You have to take a small drill bit and make a very small incision, just big enough to insert a long thing screwdriver to push the latch in which will open with ease afterwards.

If you're talking about the button on the door that closes the hatch, the button itself can be bad (I have seen that), or the acuator is going bad. Check to make sure that button is still plugged up as well. Thanks for watching.

You think maybe change actuator

@@cesarescobedo2943 , is the actuator making noise? I would check that button first.

Yes it only clicks when I press it

@@cesarescobedo2943 , sounds like the actuator. Here is a link for one... www.ebay.com/itm/265875399507?fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3AChevrolet&hash=item3de768a353:g:YaQAAOSwvZ1jGZUS&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4EFGWEU9m9JtEV8IfhqHVotsvu874QWHY%2FN5Jv2k0o5RbO27xIQZGT7W3qnbI3TfdFCIidvE0j6SMRaCbma4S5HgOuD9Nb4dqm7JTTP6TwfCWwVMIDn4cSe%2BBSLLQXwgSakqguT29GM0CagYjMFDg6Ox5%2FM09GQG7TfNstx4Eb2Qb%2FqBBXRNbM1j%2FLxMuktudPId1KGVFHbi%2B19XQEinOZnprOpHwgKFjOrmcSNP2KaAV8pJwsUwRmvwsKQeZoPa54yv9Pcnzs5%2F4TaiFsmRfJQIuigGT1qv7QSLhXIf1mIu%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR9LUiuvzYQ

Hi Stephen, Mines was doing that at one point as well. You're going to have to replace the acutator.

@@TerenceDIY thank you man!!

@@loyalist.city.g , you're very welcome.

Possibly Jonathan. It's an easy, inexpensive fix. Thank you so much for watching.

The switch by the front dome lights / moonroof switch could be off. I've seen that happen.

Nope Marc. It's the same part. Thanks for watching.

Mine makes the same noise like it’s opening and closing. Locks for a little then immediately unlocks and remains unlocked is that the same part? Can’t get the gate to stay locked and can’t drive around with it able to just fly open.

@@destinicuthbertson1764 , My friend truck was doing the same thing like mines until I changed his acuator. So, I'm 98.9 percent sure it's the liftgate actuator. Here is the link for the part just in case you decide to change it. Thanks for watching. www.ebay.com/itm/265875399507?fits=Year%3A2007%7CMake%3AChevrolet&hash=item3de768a353:g:YaQAAOSwvZ1jGZUS&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAABAHQYAreNblZXkDbkl5MIu%2BbMPj%2BLcSctqTmXMGab8Vathb1EoEw25EXm2BxxWv5ctiw4dw2JwRxV%2FawfmDIzqG7vUxtaHvSHCmTbC4qPwrreLktni%2Fl03YA4%2BSSZTq1%2B1ishNkPNG2f7Cpe4x%2BwNicjQ%2FI4bAXgeZ%2BTA1W66IMrlh9%2Bud7i%2BFUz5nMTAP%2Fn2uJaEjb5WxThFPw1fN3GsXucTLNYQF9hzSLPlLSfpiC5CtjvHn%2FSbK9U3qHM4unBhq%2FwPfCCBJE%2BhiD6eay%2Bll7qZGyS%2B9BLqS5WfAW5%2Fq3FcGBbFdgSBXnQMblQVqQtELVPMaRLWE9K%2BdQFSh91klJc%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMjprb6tNh

Just got mine replaced and it’s working again thanks so much for your help!

@@destinicuthbertson1764 , that's awesome! Thank you so much for watching.

It's most likely burned out.

@TerenceDIY ok it was the 30amp fuse. It works now

Awesome!

​@navajorezathlete1202 where's da 30amp fuse? In Da fuse box under da hood?

I believe that fuse is located on the inside.
