I was wondering, if you or anyone has heard of a problem with water getting in behind the door handles, if so any suggestions to prevent this? I take it you could tighten them from the inside? Any other ideas? Silicone seal or spray?

The GM service bulletin it says (at the bottom of the page) that no parts are required for this repair. How can they say that? Not as far as the steering is concerned, yeah I get that but it won't fix the problem without replacing the thermostat and the sensor (best to replace both while the top end is ripped off it) David, did they replace both in your case?

How do you change the license plate light on a xt5

I bought a used 2017 just 10 days ago and "BAM" that the heck are you kidding me !!! I just got the message on the dash. I knew it was possible but really - I hope this car doesn't turn into a huge lemon. I had to pull teeth from the wife in order to get this car as she wanted to buy a newer but cheaper car other than the Cadillac. Now she is freaking out on me. For someone who has gone through cancer - I really don't need this stress in my life. I only got 10 days to enjoy this car - did the dealership know about this and cleared the codes just before I bought it? That's what I wanna know. Very disappointing to say the least. I did pay for an extended warranty but have not confirmed this is covered. The warranty cost me $3500 CA so it better be. . . Things like this - is why people go postal - I can't blame them. To know they screwed me is the worst, the car is in great shape with only 74,000 Kms I feel like I was shafted.

Thank you. Perfect.

The hitch install involves the total replacement of the Lyriq's original bumper that is under the plastic. I ask for the original bumper to be retained for me, and was impressed with its lightness. The new bumper is steel and very heavy. I speculate about two things: First, how the rest of the Lyriq must be built with light materials, which is a comment on how heavy the battery must be as the car is so heavy, and the likely performance of the new and old bumpers when rear ended.

I had mine installed. I will probably post pictures eventually on the Cadillac Forums web site. I have not dismounted the removable part yet, but I have one observation. When I first looked at it, I could not find the chain rings. I called the manufacturer, and they sent an outline drawing that showed the rings, and then it was clear that they were so deep up underneath the bumper that they are impossible to find unless you know they are there. I have yet to hook up my boat. Might have to make a bigger hole to reach the chains in there. No question, this hitch does not despoil the Lyriq rear end.

Having full confidence in what you were doing was your mistake. Your installation wasn't to nec codes and obviously the work of a non professional overconfident homeowner type .why do people like you who obviously aren't professionals post videos showing other people how ? So they can get it wrong as well ? You people need to stop already.

Dude. Thank you so much for this video. You’re the real MVP.

Your video was very informative and helpful

watching you do this while leaving it in the box was infuriating

David - Need to know how to do the passenger side accuator. Do you have any videos on that

I do not recommend back feeding this without a proper fitting. You could easily damage the feeder wires. It should have been bottom fed. Contact a qualified licensed electrician.

I’m so glad u posted this, you’re dead nuts on and saved me multiple times visits. Monitored my voltage a bit and decided to change the annoying battery! Fixed!!! I really appreciate your education on this

I bit the bullet and did this install on my 23DE RWD. Took me about 3 hours, going slow and being careful so as to break or scratch anything. Your video made it easy to do. One thing that would be nice to add is how to install the wiring connections for the tow lights if you don't have harness that comes ready to plug in to. Probably means splicing in.

Great video Sir where did the 3rd actuator connect?? located on top??

To everyone. . . I'm not sure what the laws are in your state or province, but it may vary as to whether the "carrier box" must have working brake and signal lights. It would be best to contact your local law enforcement office and inquire before you take the road trip. I live in Ontario Canada and they are sticky here on regulations. Therefore, depending on where you travel this might or might not be okay. If you could change the angle of the hitch, you should have better visibility as a driver (plus the camera) and the person behind you - to see all of your lights. I know this requires a modification to the hitch itself, but from the side view (7:37 mark ) on your video, it looks possible to change the angle and re-weld it. You would still have lots of ground clearance. Plus if it was also on a 90 degree, it would be easier to modify the rack for bicycles too. (just a thought)

I see why you returned it. That's the grief of ordering online.

I thought you had a 2017 - Did you trade in your XT ? Well, congrats... I enjoy your channel. Glad to see your accepting comments. Finally, I get my XT next week.

I have a 2017 XT 5 base modal and a 2017 XT 5 platinum my auto stop won’t shut off when I stop anymore the dealer said when it’s hot outside it won’t shut off when I stop. Question: is that true or is it the battery?

So, does the hitch software on the Lyriq, the camera views and so on, work just as well with the torklift as with the GM authorized part? I understand the cams look at the hitch so you can see what you are doing while backing up and so on. Was that satisfactory after you did the installation and did some towing??

Great video. I may even get up enough nerve to try it ! Keep your videos coming!

Thanks for your vids ! You’ve saved me from agony w/ my 18 xt5 Xt6 coming for all my haters s/o to all caddy drivers 🫡🍾

Thanks

We just had our 2019 steering assist light come on......Took the info from this video to the dealer......Bottom line they covered it under the Power Train Warranty! Well done David !!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Your vids on how to do stuff on your XT5 are the absolute best. You've inspired me to try this on my own XT5 as well--I've always enjoyed and wanted to this kind of thing--and now that i'm kind of housebound i have some time to do it. My problem is that now i am trying to replace the rear bumper fascia appliques(the 2 chrome strips set into the thing) and there are no videos by anyone on removing the rear bumper cover, nor access to instruction manuals or decent instructions about it. I'm kind of slowly groping my way along but it's hard to see what lies ahead. Can you give me any suggestions? Or better yet, do a video of your own of that on your own XT5! Thanks............................

How did you install the ground and Black wire ? the screws are not straight/reachable with straight screw driver and I can't get them tightened.

This is a common problem with the GM 3.6 V6 at 50-60k. The dealer will replace if still under powertrain warranty; if not expect $1,200 -$1,500 bill. Dealers have a high overhead and charge a lot of money for repairs. Most professional garages (I'm not talking about the corner gas station) can fix for little more than half the cost. But it is a pain in the rear to replace, about 3-5 hours work depending on how familiar the mechanic is with the repair. I'd talk to your independent shop and politely ask them if they have experience with GM 3.6 V6 with the P0128 code. My mechanic just rolled his eyes and said "You've got to be kidding me. At least one a month."

You can’t just skip taking the plastic under shield off. 😂

Another informative video! Great job. Thank you for putting it together.

Cool channel. I subscribed. We have a a 23 DE in stellar black.

Awesome video Dave thank you so much for sharing :)

do you have a video for 2020 XT6, it's all XT5

Thank you for the video, I have searched, researched for this package and finally I found your video. My GMC in my city are clueless. They were quick to sell the Hummer but that’s where it ends. Daily I hear “I’ll call you back”. Never do they return a call. All they seem to know is about the Level 1 and 2 charger. They have no idea where to find this one, including parts. I see the order number so maybe that will clue them in! 😢

Wow you were only 7.5 miles from my location in Herrin Memorial Park. I traveled from Minnesota. Great Video! Also thanks for not having commentary during Video other than what you were experiencing. Took me back to my own experience. Thank You!

My right side doesn’t go up, only down! Is that the blend door actuator? The ac works fine but I have no hot air on the passenger side.

PLEASE HELP!! My AC is working fine but the temperature cannot be raised on the passenger side! I can make it cooler but not hotter! Is that the blend door actuator? It has the little digital screen to turn up or lower temperature but it only lets me lower it! I have no hot air on my passenger side

Thanks!

Thank you so much for the amazing pictures and video! I am so glad we ran into you and your family at the community center and shared this spectacular event with you!!

😄 Promo-SM

I saw him preaching on the street to passing cars a few weeks ago. Please get him some mental help. He must have good heart and wants to share the lord with all of us. Ask him why he entered the drain.

I cant trust our Dealership where I live as they always find extra work. I will try to replace battery at an autobody shop. Nothing but issues with my XT5 since I have purchased it new from Cadillac. I have already spent 6,000 for repairs at the dealership a few months out of warranty. Will never buy another XT5

??

Would love a follow up especially about the app?

I have to thank you so much for this video. I have a 22 XT five with the same issue and previously had same issue with my 2018. Using your video I came to the dealership with the service bulletin printed with the codes and part numbers, including where to find them. Really appreciate this video. Thank you.

I was there that day! (And I'm glad I made the trip then, because for various reasons I was not able to see the 2024 eclipse.)

Hi David, Thanks for your valuable info!! My Cadi is just over warranty so I need to go my regular shop to fix it. It is exactly the same happened with the lowest coolant gage,the fan running 100% high and showed 'steering assist is reduced, drive with care' My question is that can I drive to my regular shop (appx. 20mins distance) ?? Thanks, David! Dean : ))

HI David. I don't see your follow up review.

I have same issue. Why does the problem get fixed if I unhook and rehook battery? Is it something electrical?

This video prompted me to take a look at my dead switch. Caps were fine, but the fuse had blown. It's a 500mA 250V slow blow axial fuse. 75c at Mouser.
