    2023 suburban RST aux battery tray GM # 84817040

    I suspect the interior trim with the access panel is a police package specific part.

    2023 suburban RST aux battery tray GM # 84817040

    Found the PPV documentation, here's a link to it: https://capfleet.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2021-Police-Tahoe-9C1-Municipal-Specification-Guidev3.pdf Aux battery is on page 25. On closer inspection it does appear to be a conventional lead-acid battery, but seems to me that it would have...

    2023 suburban RST aux battery tray GM # 84817040

    I have looked into the aux battery placement on the current generation, and from what I can tell, it is mounted behind the driver's side panel in the rear cargo area where the subwoofer would normally be. I found some information showing this in the PPV documentation. It appears that the aux...

    LED dome lights not working properly...

    They are only needed for the lights that can be turned on individually, like the reading lights. When all of the interior lights turn on, such as when opening the doors or using the switch on the dash, even the LEDs draw enough current to activate the circuit. But you will need a capacitor for...

    LED dome lights not working properly...

    Was able to get a picture today. The capacitor is soldered to one bulb tab and the resistor to the other, then they are connected together. Make sure that the positive side for the capacitor is connected to the 12V side and the negative side is connected to ground. It doesn't really matter...

    LED dome lights not working properly...

    Well, my phone decided it's not taking pictures today, but here is a schematic of what I did to mine. It includes the capacitor and resistor values. The 15kΩ resistor across the capacitor sets the fade out time. The larger it is, the slower it fades out. Without it the LED has to drain the...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    Yes, I believe so. There are instructions for installation there as well. I think it explains why mine was corrupted when I removed it. The instructions say to turn everything off and wait ten minutes before removing the card. I know everything was turned off when I removed mine, but I don't...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    This is the website I was on, https://gmnavdisc.navigation.com/models/Catalog/Catalog_Cadillac_Escalade/en_US/GMNA/USD If you click on 2021 you get the pricing. This is for the Escalade, but if you select GMC and Yukon using the menu at the upper right, the price is the same for a 2021 Yukon...

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    Just looked up the cost of a map update SD card on GM's website. It looks like they are $150.

    SD Card Removed - and I did it! (Yikes)

    I think you may need to get a new Navigation SD card. I popped it out and put it back in shortly after getting my Escalade, and everything was turned off at the time. Nav would not work after that. I don't remember exactly what the message was, but the dealer had to get a new card for it to...

    New Escalade IQ EV

    I figure this will keep the value of my 2021 up, being the last generation of gas Escalades, given that I think a lot of people won't want an electric model. That is, unless Cadillac continues the gas model along side the electric. As an aside, personally I think the current Escalade is much...

    Cabin air filter

    Both filter types are correct (I have used both). Because of the firewall sloping toward the rear as it meets the floor pan, there isn't enough room to slide the filter straight in. GM deals with this by cutting notches in the sides so the filter can fold and then straighten out once it is...

    How do thieves circumvent the passlock theft deterrent?

    This is FAR from the first time it was posted on the internet how this is done, it's been well known, especially by thieves for nearly two decades. That's why they target them. Quite a few other vehicles of that era had the same vulnerability. Of course you shouldn't post it if it was some...

    Consumer reports rates 2022 Yukon 2/100 in Reliability

    But the point that I was trying to make is that I see more GMT800s than Expeditions or Sequoias regardless of the year. What I was attempting to say is how reliable the GM SUVs are by pointing out how many are still in service.
