Getting EVERY Light Off The Dash Of My CHEAP Cadillac Escalade

I bought this 2011 Cadillac Escalade for only $4,000 but it seems to have cost nearly double that to bring it back to life. It showed up with a seized engine, I replaced it but the first L94 had a rod knock, so I replaced it again. I changed the entire interior but that wasn't exactly straight forward, so today we're finishing that, and fixing all the other little problems that would make it hard to sell.

You just reconfirmed to every guy that has extra parts in the garage because "one day" we may need it. Glad to see the older projects getting finished, can't be know as one of those KZfaqrs that don't finish.

07:00am here in prague, czech republic. It will be dark for another hour. Good to see cars back on the channel. But I've grown to like the domestic house stuff too ( the garage build is interesting too, but here in Europe it's not a practical option for us due to land prices. And I guess the whole place will be flipped like the last one, so it's harder to get emotional invested in it). I hope there's more on the smart lighting on the house ... here in Europe that isn't so big a thing, but for me, it's really cool and something I want to investigate ( along with the cameras like on the mini resort ) for my house.

My 2010 had the parking sensor issue. Fix was pretty easy. I carefully compared the standard size to the ESV and like you found a number of floorpan differences. Sold the 2010 and bought by dad's lightly used dad-driven 2014. Best car ever, or close to it. Love the 2007-2014 series Escalades. My later 2016 was nice and more high tech, but the older versions had a better sound and seemed sportier, for a big SUV.

@wvcruffler123 8 ай бұрын

You don't have to blast the plastic. Set it on low (my heat gun has "low" and "Thailand"). It doesn't take much heat at all for that adhesive. Don't think isopropyl works. There are adhesive solvents but they might also damage plastics. Gentle heat, gentle pressure. Done the stuff on ipads etc and didn't destroy them with the heat.

@Watcher3223 8 ай бұрын

@@wvcruffler123 Goo Gone probably would have worked well to help remove adhesive residue without damaging the plastic. Of course, then you have to completely clean the mating surfaces of any Goo Gone residue as part of the prep work for affixing the new digitizer glass.

Great to see the Caddy with no trouble lights! Nicely done, especially on the seats! Also: hopefully you never need to do it again, but if you have to take another Autel screen apart, I wonder if that wire spool (the stuff you see used to easily cut through windshield adhesives) would be a easier method to use to unstick the old screen?

For removal of the digitizer glass, it would have been helpful to warm up the glass using a heat gun, of course being careful not to scorch or melt the upper housing. The heat would have helped to loosen up the adhesive fastening the digitizer glass to the housing.

Well, it’s a good thing that you had extra parking sensors squirreled away; because those sensors brand new (part number 15239247) are on national back order right now (they were used on a TON of GM Trucks and SUVs; and were first introduced the old G car Body platform.) and in an ironic twist it is actually the same sensor that is used in my Buick Lucerne! (Was in a rear end collision in April, and was EXTREMELY lucky that my sensors and harness wasn’t damaged in the accident, or else I would’ve been up Schitt Creek without a paddle!)

The sunroof screen is bunched up, thats a nightmare to fix, the headlights are a nightmare to work on. I’ve replaced both the motor and trans on mine. They may be nice but they are expensive and a pain to fix.

I can understand why someone would isolate the airbag at the seat. Not keeping my eyes on the road, I sideswiped a pole in my PU. It was hard enough to seet off the airbags on the side. There was no one in the passenger seat yet all the side bags went off. The accident did not injure me but my air bag going off bruised my whole side of my body. Why does the opposite side that is struck have to deploy the airbags? I could have driven the vehicle except for the damn fuel cut-off. So there can be a rhyme and reason to why something like this was done.
