It is called a steering box not a gear box and the adjustment will be in the steering box or in the rack and pinion

SOURCE: speed sensor on a 05 escalade

Hey Joe, unfortunately, because your escalade is so new (05), there is not much info available yet online as far as free info goes. I checked a couple of sites and no luck. However, for about the cost of a manual, u should be able to access the speed sensor info and MUCH more online @ either 'alldata' or 'eautorepair'. I will do some more research on it tonight to see if I can find that info, but I'm not too hopeful. Is the escalade AWD?

If half are working, then most likely the other half are simply blown bulbs that just need replaced. A blown fuse would normally cause ALL the lights in that section to go off, not just half.

I'm in the middle of doing mine now. The steering box needs to be pulled out of the truck. Arm will need a puller to be taken off the output shaft of the steering box.

How to fix a rattle in my steering on my 1999 gmc jimmy. i have a rattle in my steering in my 1999 gmc jimmy
Check the steering intermediate shaft connection to the steering gear box, its slip shaft and the connection to the stering collumn. if those are ok, its probably slop in the steering gear box. Some of that can be adjusted out on the gear box by your mechanic. You will see either a flat head cut or hex head inset with a lock nut on the top of the gear box. Loosening hte lock nut and tightening the bolt to factory torque setting then releasing it the appropriate specified degress will reset the gear box back to factory settings. Beware if you set this wrong you will cause your steering to bind when turning. Therefore only let a qualified mechanic do this for you.

The steering wheel is has too much play in it.
Steering wheel play can be caused by many parts including tie rods, idler arms, pitman arms. drag links, the gear box itself or the shaft and connectors between the steering wheel and the gear box. I would recommend inspecting all of these things and repair or replace as necessary.

Heater core
18901fc.gifHere is an exploded view of the heating/air conditioning blower box. This contraption is located on the passengerside under the dash. I've changed heater cores on other cars but never worked on a caravan so not sure how difficult it'll be. You may need to remove a few cover panels to access this and the heater core #22 is located behind the distribution box #6 containing parts 7-18 and hopefully comes off as a unit. I wouldn't want to put it back together just looking at the pic. You may just need to remove the heater tube cover #4 to access the connections and slide out the core.....NAH couldn't be that simple!!! Hope this was of some help. Good luck.
