My 2004 Escalade Drivers side was stuck full hot when set at 60 degrees. Passenger and rear was blowing cold. If you cant control the actuators, try an actuator door recalibration for free before buying unnecessary parts. Recalibration Steps: 1. IGN on - do not start 2. Push AUTO on AC control 3. IGN OFF 4. Pull HVAC/ECAS CB in engine bay CB panel - reinstall after 1 min 5. Start Vehicle - AC control should default to 74 degree and in AUTO - Let run for 3-4 minutes while calibrating. DONT ADJUST ANY AC Controls in this process. 6. Ignition OFF for 10-30 Seconds 7. Start Vehicle - Test AC controls..... Hope this helps somebody!
I’ve had my 2002 Escalade 6.0L since 2004. I’m presently at 142K miles. Thankfully, the ignition switch is the ONLY one of these five problems I’ve had recently. It’s been a GREAT SUV and I just had it repainted and installing NEW seat covers. I pray I can keep it another 100K miles!
i have a 2005 escalade with 275k miles its still beautiful ive experianced all these and more i just keep getting these lil things fixed the truck still run amazing
I've had my 2002 since it came off the lot. The engine is perfect. Only A few issues over the years Ill rank them worse to minor: 100-120kmiles, the Car turns off when turning left, very dangerous, the solution was to clean the throttle body. Transmission leak issue happened twice over the 250K miles. 100-120K Replace alternator. 130-145k Cluster failure. 240k Throttle body sensor failed Fuel Pump had an Issue, I never replaced it but somehow hitting the gas tank with a bat solved the issue for good. This car has been across the country multiple times, from niagra falls to rosarito mexico. I have pushed it hard, even taken it off roading. I always maintained the oil and coolant. I expect it will do 500k miles, She runs like the day it came off the lot.
I bought my neighbor's 2005 EXT a few weeks ago. 177K for $7,500. Rides great and everything works so far! *knock on wood* I know in the previous three years he replaced the mass air flow sensor, the front impact sensor, the level ride air compressor, inner tie rod arms, idler arms, pitman arms, oil sending unit, right outer CV boot, alternator and battery, and exhaust manifold gaskets. It was a long list for 3 years...
2004 = Instrument cluster, rear window motor, hubby being snuggy and warm on driver's side while I freeze on the passenger side. Ran it low on gas one day and the engine light came on. Took it for testing and it was just the gas cap wasn't tight enough. (It's still an Escalade so it's worth it.) After the junky Nissan Xterra, breaking all the time and leaving us on the side of the road umpteen times, it is like driving in a brand new Tesla vehicle. (to my family anyway.)
I've haven't had any of these issues. I have a hunter green 2002 Escalade and just hit 130k miles. I've had this car since '03...bought it with 18k miles on it. First ten years only drove on weekends while I put miles on my 2004 Corolla (has 235k and still rolling). I stay on top of maintenance and repair/replace before it's needed. Had someone off me $15k for it last week. Hubbie wants to get a new one...Not! Best. Car. Ever.
I AGREE! Bought my 02, in 04. Presently at $142K. I hope to have it for another 100K. Just got a new paint job an Cadillac 22” wheels today, and will install new leather seats this weekend!
Wondering have you had issues with your rear air suspension or converted to springs? Also have you rebuilt the transmission at this point? Thanks Vincent
The number 1 issue with that generation of escalade is the ABS systems failing. I have an 02 and Cadillac discontinued the original 10 prong ABS Pump, Module, and The Master Cylinder. I've sent off the parts and had them rebuilt and now my calipers are locking up on my rotors almost catching on fire.
My son bought an 06 EXT. And he is very rough on it. Takes it out mudding all of the time. Paid $7500. But it is time for tie rods pitman and idler arm. Upper and lower control arm bushings and what not. But so far no other issues. He says he loves his truck. Wants to lift it. And will replace anything he needs to keep it going. Oh yea we did replace the waterpump the first week he had it. But thats it so far.
i have an 04 and im starting to get minor issues like radiator sprung a leak and i replaced it water pump is bad and i have a new one on the way just slowly gets worse
I have a 02 and it have the “service stability system” and I don’t how to fix it, it very unstable while driving over 40m/h, I don’t know what to do. Any idea? I already replaced the 4 shocks, the air compresor and rear springs and it still feeling like a boat on the sea.
Have a 03. The entire transmission gave out, I remember my dad having to take off the entire front end and replace it, it broke down at a winn Dixie, and you have to slam the driver side rear door, for it to shut good. The battery dies if you don’t use it (randomly),It has service airbag stability, and service stability messages, several gauges broke, had to be fixed, the lock on the same door I talked about is broke, it has a Chevy ignition, and currently sits in my back yard, driver side tires flat, and oil pressure gauge broken, with the battery, dead again.
I want one of these cars. So much simpler, classier and more reliable than the stuff they’re making today. My only thing is that it’s a gas guzzler. Trying to decide if I want to spring for one as my first personal car that I own for work.
💥 My three problems, 1- the seat heater on drivers side clicks on then 2 seconds later turns off. 2- I get AC to blow out of the center and third row but not heat. 3- my from differential is making a humming noise that increases with speed. 138,000 miles on an ‘03. I know the first two are quite common but where not mentioned.

My 03 blew the heater core lines and I immediately fixed it, took it on a test drive and the next day it won’t start/crank at all. What should I look for first? Note when the line broke it sprayed antifreeze everywhere on the passenger side 🤷🏾♂️
I have 02 escalade 6.0 if anyone know why when i am driving it pulls to the right side when i am going 40 and up and also when i am driving and then I see is stability the service
I have a 2002 Escalade with the stability control light issue and i put in led bulbs in gauge panel my gauges jump up and down sometimes or go flat is this from the led bulbs or something else ?
I’m going to buy a 2004 ESV with 110k miles The front differential is making a little bit of noise around 30mph on acceleration or de-acceleration buy it’s zero accidents and garage kept so I’m OK with it.
I have an 03 escalade ext. Never had a single one of these issues. The forums state issues with the autoride system, which I did have issues with. Why wasn't THAT one if the top 5?
Anyone looking to buy a 03 Escalade, she’s got a viper alarm system, 6.0, 170k miles running strong and exhaust system, couple other things but I bought to resell she’s a good car especially with all the finishing touches I left
I have an 02 escalade that can be only used either 66F or 82F on all vents but can't adjust the temperature to how I want to be comfortable in. Would replacing an actuator fix it?

I have an '05 with 145k. replaced oil pressure sending unit, replaced all shocks with standard shocks, odo and gear indicator lights have all but faded away and need to be replaced. replaced right-side HVAC actuator. replaced fogged-over headlights (eBay $200 for the pair!)... single CD player no longer works. replaced all brake lines (totally rusted away).
That’s actually not as bad as many and I mean many vehicles lol. I mean you didn’t even include a single problem about the engine in the top5 which is a tremendous sign of a good vehicle. Bad water pumps, Electrical work, transmission blowing out easy is something I would consider problems.
i have a 2002 escalade 5.3L i recently had an engine wash recommended by a mechanic due to a oil leak he couldn’t find after the engine wash my truck went into reduced engine power i cleaned out the throttle body and changed the tps but still in reduced engine power mode….hellllpppp lol
Hello, I need help. I have a Cadillac Escalade 2003-6.0L. The problem is that the torsion bolt on the right side lifts, but not on the left side. What could be the problem? excluding shock absorbers and camber bushings.

By any chance have you changed yours yet ? My front A/C is warmer than the rear A/C all the time and the driver side blows hot sometimes. I can turn ignition off and back on and it temporarily fixes that problem. Seems like I’m going to have to replace the actuators.
I've had 3 of the 5 happen on my '03 with146k. Passenger door, instrument cluster, & air .... in that order 🙄 Wasn't too much of a pain in the wallet to fix them
Hi i have a 2002 Escalade. My dash has erratic issues that would turn on all warning lights and misplace my cluster needles while driving. How can i fix this
What about to clear/ reset lights on your 2002 Escalade cluster? I bought one from Facebook market place , but don’t know if the guy I got it from got it from a wrecked Escalade or the cluster was just not working. I put it in my 01 Silverado & they still didn’t go away gauges still work & the needles seem to be fine
I have an 03' does anyone else have an issue with the lumbar support going out and staying fully out? It feels like I'm driving with a metal bar down my back and can't adjust anything even though I've tried everything.
Don't forget the dried up brittle o-ring on the oil pump pick up tube ....that can destroy the engine .... Engine looses oil pressure and sounds like a diesel...ask me how I know?(don't ask)
Hello this is a different question from this video but I seen you posted this video 11 hours ago... so I’m asking about a 2012 Chevy impala 3.6l and I recently found a baby drop with fresh transmission oil behind the trans plug... I’m thinking it can be a cooler line or maybe a gasket... I’m lost and I cannot find any videos... if u can reply or someone reading this can give some advice I’ll greatly appreciate it
As I found out top problem can be ground wire issue. If you don't systematically clean ground wires you may end up with transmission that slips and then fails. Look up for the solution on youtube how to clean those wires and save the transmission. I was on my 3rd tranny when I found out about the problem. I was gonna get rid of my Escalade but since I have diagnosed the problem I'm a keeper. Don't believe those who tell you that the escalades have bad transmissions.
I have a 04 Escalade and all my lights inside the car and headlights are blinking fast I can’t drive at night can someone help me on what it might be I’ve replaced headlight relay not It. I’ve replace fuses not it either
My 04 Escalade just started having an issue where the passenger side works fine but when trying to adjust the temp on the drivers side it fluctuates to random temps... please help

These trucks are so easy to steal. Majority were stolen by just defeating the steering lock and pushing the vehicle away. Later they added an immobilizer
@@YeTheGOATNoCap When you have a vehicle like THIS, you don't worry about gas mileage. Look on the bright side. My 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood gets 10 MPG highway and about 7 MPG local. That big 500 engine LOVES gasoline! Its like my grandparents generation used to say......that car will pass anything on the highway except a gas station! LOL
Wondering gnif anybody is reading this maybe same issue im having. First off I bought this 02 escalade from junkyard. It was lien sale vehicle in ca. The original owner was a crack head. Reversed everything I could see a Crack head did. Here's my problem after 3 used clusters all doing the same thing I put one in I knew was good. I get three lights on the dash (wheels sensor pig tail lifht, check engine and left blinker) Nothing else no gauges resetting for upon turning key on nothing. When on a bumpy road the lights of cluster that are lit flicker! when they flicker if I rev engine they stop flickering and get brighter. I've been all over this truck like a tweeker trying to find that bag of dope he lost.o did find that several times. Any body any Info is appreciated. I just don't Have the cash to take it in To the highway robbery dealer.
