Leather Seat Cover Bottoms Detached From Frame?
So the factory leather seat cover bottoms on my 06 Escalade are still in pretty good shape considering their age (no rips, tears, just some color wear on the driver's side), but I noticed that the clips that hold the cover to the seat frame at the front edge have let go, on both of the front... -
Rear Liftgate Connector Repair
Yeah, did mine on the weekend. Not a bad job really, just requires some patience so you don't mangle the connector. -

Rear Liftgate Connector Repair
Here's a good YouTube video on exactly what I am talking about. This guy resolved it the same way I attempted to describe above. Just wondering if there are any other methods? Though I am probably just going to do what the guy in the video does. -
Rear Liftgate Connector Repair
The main electrical connector to the rear hatch, under the rubber boot in the top right corner, has two wires that are pretty badly burnt. One purple, the other black (I think). It's causing my rear wiper to work erratically (slow, gets stuck, etc). I've read about a few others having the same... -
Rear Hatch Hard To Open
Owned my 06 Escalade (shorty) for 5 years now and the rear hatch has been getting progressively harder to open. By that I mean it takes a lot of force to pull it up off the seal, but oddly, once it's up, it stays up well. My brother has an 03 and his is not nearly as difficult to open. I... -
Wiper Cowl Retainer - Damn Windshield Shop
In case anyone else ever needs this reference, I did find the correct part # and fitted it to my truck tonight. GM Part 10121502 it's a simple christmas tree style push pin, but longer and wider than average. -
Wiper Cowl Retainer - Damn Windshield Shop
Yeah, it's not the slide on clip circled in your image. It's a push pin right in the center, likely hidden by the wiper arm in your photo. -
Wiper Cowl Retainer - Damn Windshield Shop
Had the windshield in my 2006 Escalade (though I am sure it's the same for all these SUVs) replaced today, I was working so my wife brought it in. Checked it out when I got home and the retainer clip/pin for the center of wiper cowl grille, right near the base of the passenger side wiper arm is... -
Aftermarket Remote Start/Alarm Remote Woes
No, mine looks like this one but it's all black. If it was cheap enough I'd risk it and buy this one to try it, but the guy wants $60 USD for just a remote that's missing the antenna cover. By the time I do exchange, duty & shipping it'll be $100 to see if it works with mine or not. At that...- Firm

Aftermarket Remote Start/Alarm Remote Woes
Tried that, extensively, no dice. Apparently this brand was only sold in Alberta Canada, so it's not very popular. Leaning towards bringing it somewhere to have a new one installed. Sounds like my buddy has a trustworthy auto electronics guy...- Firm

Aftermarket Remote Start/Alarm Remote Woes
So, here's my current problem. When I bought our 2006 Escalade years ago (maybe 5 years ago) someone had already installed an aftermarket remote start/alarm system. The seller gave me the two aftermarket, Titan brand, remotes which were in perfect working order, and they've worked great all this...- Firm

"Traction Active" Intermittent While Pulling Away from Stop
So my brother has an 03 Escalade and for the last year or so, when pulling away from a stop the "traction active" message will pop up on the dashboard and the truck will only accelerate really slow; either the brakes are coming on, or the power is being dramatically reduced. If you let off the...- Firm
