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
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
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
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

07+ WeatherTech's in my 06?
Hey, a friend is selling an 07 Escalade with a nice set of WeatherTech floor mats in it. Has anyone tried fitting the custom mats from a newer generation truck in their NBS? How bad is the fit? -
Ultrasonic Rear Park Assist Issue
Our 06 Escalade has the Ultrasonic rear park assist system and until recently it's always worked well, actually a very handy system. Recently though, as soon as you put the truck into reverse the first two amber lights come on, and the system chimes, as if you're getting close to something, but...- Firm

Lets See Your Escalade Fog Light Updates
The Fog Lights on my 06 Escalade are finally starting to look their age; moisture in them, pitted lenses, etc. I'd like to find a nice set of LED replacements that fit the stock location, I am sure others have done the same, so lets see your setup. Also, if you have any info to share on what... -
Seat Heater Replacement
Getting set to replace the bottom seat heater on the driver's seat of our 2006 Escalade. Have Dorman 641-105 replacement in hand. Anyone else done this job before? Any tips or things to be aware of? I am a little worried about messing up the air bag in the seat or something like that. For... -
Brake Recommendations? PowerStop?
Our 06 Escalade is coming due for brakes soon so I am looking for some recommendations on what pad/rotor combos you guys have had success with. Aside from all the usual stuff (stopping power, low dust, no squeal) I'd really like a rotor that's coated so it won't rust like my current stuff. The...- Firm

Our 06 'Slade + Other Toys
Always loved these full sized GM SUVs and finally got a chance to own one when I bought our 2006 Escalade as a DD for my wife. She insisted on the Diamond white/tan color combo, so it took awhile to track a nice one down, especially here in the rust belt. Ended up getting this out of Alberta...- Firm

Anyone Else Have Trouble With Headlight Circuit?
So, our 06 Escalade has (had) the factory HID headlamp setup. Factory harness plugs into the ballasts behind the grill, which outputs to the stock D1R bulbs. Back in August I replaced the headlight housings with new OE units because the originals were yellowed, and one had a small crack... -
06 Escalade OE HID Problems
I need some help with the factory HIDs in my wife’s 2006 Escalade. For some reason it keeps going through ballasts on the right side. Everything was working fine, then the right headlight just stopped working one day. I swapped ballasts with the other side and confirmed that the ballast was bad... -
Rear Air Susp Symptoms - Where to Start?
Alright, a couple months back we purchased our 2006 Escalade (shorty) with a non-op rear air suspension, and I am just now getting around to investigating. I’ve never dealt with a system like this before so I am looking for some advice on where to start diagnosing…. Presently when you start...- Firm

Hi Everyone, New here and thought I'd introduce myself before I start asking for help in the tech sections, lol. Long-time GM guy, but this would be my first full-size so I am sorta learning as I go. Bought this truck for my wife back in May after searching for 3 months, she had been daily...- Firm
