SOURCE: Replacing front turn signal bulb on 2006 Cadillac SRX

wow i feel sorry for you because Cadillac designed this bulb to be a don't get to bulb but OK here's what you do take the bottom cover off or skid plastic panel under neath the front end theirs little plastic clips holding it on just get come dikes and don't cut them but just use it to help pull them out. after you get that off use a flash light and locate your light housing you should see two screws holding the house in i think those screws are 8mm i cant remember remove those two screws and be careful the metal from the bumper cuts you pull the light housing out and remove all the screws around the housing and open the housing up replace the bulb and make sure your contact to the bulbs clean and then reassemble the way you took apart. if you cant get it well then best bet is take it somewhere i know Cadillac charges an arm and a leg so you can go somewhere else.

SOURCE: abs light/traction control light

You can check out what the trouble code is by pushing and holding the information button and the up arrow (right side of instrument cluster above the radio) until all the instrument clusters light. Press the information button (last) to enter test mode. I've had an error C1234, meaning Left rear wheel sensor fault. I found the problem to be a corroded connector under the chasis just under the rear left door about 2 feet in. I had to by-pass (replace 1 wire due to corrosion at the connector.

SOURCE: what does service system stability mean on my 2001

This refers to the suspension and steering, you probably have a faulty sensor somewhere.
One of the most common sensors to fail in this system is the steering wheel position sensor.
You need to run a diagnostic check to pull the trouble codes to pinpoint the faulty component.

How to pull the codes.....

Use the 3 switches located to the right (LH drive cars) of the Driver Information Center (DIC) to activate and respond to the OBD prompts on the DIC.

ON/OFF = YES
INFO RESET = NO
INFO DOWN or INFO UP = manual toggle


Ignition ON, acknowledge any warning messages;.
Press ON/OFF and INFO UP together for 2 to 3 seconds. Everything in front of you lights up for 4 or 5 seconds, then you will see:

Display shows "ALL?"

Answering YES will display "ALL CODES?"
Answering YES will run automatic test sequence and display codes, if any.

"ALL CLEAR CODES?" will display at the end of the automatic test. If you are satisfied you have the information you need, answer YES to clear/erase all error codes.


Answering "ALL?" with INFO DOWN will toggle systems test manually in order.
Answering "ALL?" with INFO UP will toggle system test manually in reverse order.

Press INFO RESET to reset DIC to "ALL?" to start again.

Ignition OFF to exit.

Write down the codes as they appear on the DIC, you may need to run the check again as it tends to scroll through quickly.

Report back here with the codes.

SOURCE: where is the oil filter located on a cadillac srx

Directly under the engine. You'll see a large smooth portion under there that looks like the underside of a bath tub and on the lowest portion of that is a bolt. Thats your oil reservoir where you drain your oil. The filter should be located near that pointing toward the front of the vehicle. GM OEM filters are usually black but could be white and are almost always 3" filters so a filter wrench that fits a 3" filter will get it off without problem.

Testimonial: "Thanks forn the help! This info has been hard to find from other sources. Again thanks!"

problem usually narrows down to abs system problem or hub failing causing problem with abs --have vehicle scanned for the trouble code it will assist you as where to start in repairing problem most auto stores offer this service for free --in the mean time pull the abs fuse so brakes can revert to a normal non abs system till repairs can be made

Service stability system and abs light came on at same time

This sounds like a encoder, you need to pull the error code for this. Not all readers will give you the ABS codes. You can try at the local auto parts store, most of them will pull the codes for you.

I have a 2006 srx when its cold outside below 45 degree, it comes out 3 error massages ...1) service stability sys 2) service steering wheel sys 3) service engine soon... but again if its warm outside...

Each one of these warnings is storing a fault code in the control module when it comes on, Have the system scanned, that is the 1st step to finding the problem.

I was just told that on my 2005 cadillac SRX that my left front speed tensioner is bad, and the left side motor mount is broke. I bought the vehicle 10 mos ago with 55k on it and it has 60 now. I was told...

That [ I've never heard it called a tensioner ] is the ABS brake sensor on that wheel. It's hard to tell about the mount, but it's very rare to have one go with out it being in a major accident- [ but it can happen ].

How do I replace the fuse for the front turn signal 2004 cadillac srx

It is not something as easy as it sounds. We have had this happen twice in the past year. We live in Texas and everytime we have to get a new inspection sticker we have to pay someone to fix it so that it passes the inspection. It only lasts for a short time and then goes right back out. This car is a piece of ****. The system stability system warning is coming on.. have read lots of complaints. cadillac needs to recall this before someone gets killed.
