I have a 2003 at 145,000 still runs like a dream, only the radio sometimes won't come on, the seat heater on the driver side doesn't soon work and also some cosmetic things like the lettering on the cd player, radio and controls on the door panels
oh and there sounds like more air coming from the sunroof when closed
I'm am very pleased with it and will trade for an 08' very soon

Check out Where To Find Your Car Owner's Manual Online.
 
I wonder if your fuse question is covered by the manual - any owners with similar experiences please jump in.

I just purchase a new 07 and have bad air leak noise in the left side rear door. I've had the dealer replace the plastic molding, and the rubber seal around the door and I'm still getting the noise. It seems like the door was not made to fit. any suggestions would be great.

Seems to be an ABS problem... by gwennie2

Hi. I have a 2002 Escalade EXT, which I purchased new in 2002. It has about 85,000 miles on it now. Recently I had the front brakes and rotors replaced. Now it seems that sometimes when I stop, there is some play in the braking. The vehicle stops, but then it seems that the ABS is kicking in after the vehicle stops. This causes vibration after the vehicle stops, and although the vehicle will stop, it seems unsafe to me. I took the vehicle to a trusted mechanic, and he agrees that the problem is the ABS, but he was unable to specifically diagnose a problem. There are no lights on, and according to him, "no codes." He suggested that I take it to the dealership, but I wanted to do some independent research before I walk into that. Any information is most appreciated.

hi my names antonio,, i got the answer for u ,,,, listen it is not your abs,, trust me i had the exact same problem,,, its a wheel bearing assembley it comes complete with the hub and all ,,,, it could be your driverside or passenger or maybe both,,,,trust me look into it ,,, if u jack your car up i bet one of the wheels u will be able to rock side to side,,, like if your looking dead at the tire and rim on either side of the car,, u wil be able to push and pull it,,, so when u go to stop and your almost at a stop the wheel has time to wobble and creates your brake to pulsate ,, abs control,,,,,,,,, your welcome i hope i helped

This is a known problem with the 07 models. Here is a link to a Caddy Owners web-site that discusses this issue. Mine doesn't have it, but it has to due with improper door alignment. There is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) that has been given to dealers on this, but you have to have a service dept willing to go through the motions.

Water damage to an 05 EXT... by aricd

So driving my EXT today in the pouring rain, I hit a flooded section of about 16" or so of slow-moving rainwater (I know, I know, I should have turned around before I even hit that) and I made it about 100 yards into the 'river' before it coughed, sputtered and died...The battery died immediately...
 
After a lot of gibberish w/the local tow company and whatnot, about 2 & 1/2 to 3 hours later I was finally able to get towed out of the water...
 
NO water came into the cab and the agua level was just shy of the bottom of the door (19" from the ground) on the driver side and a few inches below on the passenger...It does have 24" wheels and 35 series tires, so it may be a touch lower than stock, but I dunno...
 
Obviously, the Escalade wouldn''t start after this event, but it did click and clatter and try to start on it's own while I was waiting for my tow...It has an aftermarket alarm system and an automatic start w/that system, so I'm wondering if that may have been the cause of it trying to start even w/the key out of the ignition??...
 
So, it's currently 'drying out' on the curb...The battery is dead right now from the alarm system trying to start it (I assume)...
 
My wonder is...Now what??...Do I charge that battery after letting it sit overnight and try cranking it up??...
 
And I DO realize the sheer stupidity of fording water in an EXT, but what's done is done, I suppose...
