Expert Answers about Cadillac Escalade


  • Mounting of Equal-I-zer Brackets to Trailer When Propane Tank Tray Location Interferes
  • For your Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37040ET since your tray is right at that 25-32 inches back from the center of your coupler where your brackets need to be, the best solution to use this system is to drill into your frame and directly mount your brackets to the frame at the height you need. This may require modifying the height of your brackets depending on your tray and tank fit.

  • Where to Connect a Brake Controller in 2012 Cadillac Escalade
  • Good question, and a 2012 Cadillac Escalade does not have a harness that will allow you to plug in a brake controller, but it does have the wires already run under the dash, regardless of if you have the factory 7-way or not. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see where the wires will be; this is a cut out from the linked installation video of the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160. This is from a 2009 Cadillac Escalade which is the same generation as...

  • Is OneControl Touch Panel Required for Use with Electric Ground Control TT Leveling System
  • Thanks for the purchase of the Electric Ground Control TT Automatic 5-Point Travel Trailer Leveling System # LC672136, and the answer to your question is if you do not want to use the OneControl Touch Panel you certainly don't have to. This is only compatible with trailers that have the OneControl feature installed so it does have to - and will - work with just the touchpad if that's what you'd like to use. I've added links to a video review and install for you to check out of this system...

  • Should Hopkins Impulse 47235 Light Up When Stepping on Brakes without Trailer Connected
  • I spoke with my contact at Hopkins regarding your newly installed Impulse model 47235 brake controller and he said that on this particular unit there won't be any lights when stepping on the brake controller if you're not hooked up to a trailer. He did mention, like you did, that on previous generation controllers there would be a light or number displayed when applying the brakes whether connected to a trailer nor not but that is not the case with the Impulse. It sounds like the brake...

  • Location of Brake Controller Connection in 2019 Cadillac Escalade
  • The brake controller connection is in the same spot as found in the Suburban or the GM full sized trucks of that generation. It's located in a junction box behind and to the right of the emergency brake pedal. You'll need to remove the cover, and plug the connector into the socket shown in the provided photo. If you'll be installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 you'd looked at, you'll need the # 3016 Brake Controller Wiring Harness. I've linked to a video showing...

  • Can I Carry Two 66 LB Ebikes On A Thule EasyFold XT
  • I do not think you will have a problem carrying your 66 lb ebikes on the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount, part # TH903202, provided you follow this piece of advice. Now this advice is not from me, but from ebike manufacturers speaking about the best way to transport their bikes on your vehicle. You should always remove your batteries from your bike when transporting them on a bike rack. If you follow that advice you will not have to...

  • Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller Showing Numbers When Disconnected on 2011 Cadillac Escalade
  • If your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885 has numbers scrolling on the display when it is not connected, it seems likely you have some sort of corrosion on the brake output circuit of your 2011 Escalade's 7-way. It would seem that the brake controller thinks that your trailer is still connected, which would explain the numbers. I recommend removing the connector from the socket of your 7-way and cleaning the pins to see if that does the trick, and a replacement 7-way...

  • Installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller in a 2015 Cadillac Escalade
  • The 2015 Cadillac Escalade was available both with and without a factory tow package. A dealership may be able to run the vehicle VIN in their computer system to see how it is equipped. If it does have the factory tow package then you would use harness # 3016 to plug in the P2 brake controller # 90885. The harness plugs into a junction box located under the dash on the driver's side, up near the fire wall above the carpeting. Take a look at the video I have linked that will help. If you...

  • Brake Controller Connector Location on 2019 Cadillac Escalade
  • On a 2019 Escalade, the plug you're looking for is in a junction box on the firewall to the left of the brake pedal. The junction box has a black cover, which will need to be removed and the # 3016 harness you'd looked at will plug into the socket shown in the provided photo. The top photo shows the location of the junction box, the bottom photo shows what the Junction box looks like with the cover removed and the exact location where the harness plugs in. The # 3016 is the harness you'd...

  • Where Is The Port To Install The Prodigy P2 And 3016 Pigtail On A 2016 Cadillac Escalade
  • From the picture you provided, I can say that you are almost there. The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter # 3016. I included a picture for you to check out, but it's actually the port directly above the white one with the blue housing on the left hand side. It looks like it will be a snug fit, but wont cause any issues. I included an install video for you to check out, but it is on a Silverado and it didn't have that blue and white plug, but should still help.

  • Wiring to Install Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller on a 2013 Cadillac Escalade
  • You actually need to connect some wiring to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 on your 2013 Cadillac Escalade as there are no plug-in connectors. There is some wiring though which is located near the data link connector so you'll need to connect them to the following wires on the P2: Dark Blue - Blue (P2) Red/Black - Black (P2) Light Blue/White - Red (P2) White - White If you don't still have the pigtail that came with the P2 then you can use part # 7894 which comes with butt connectors...

  • Why Is Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 Always On Even When Vehicle Is Turned Off?
  • It is normal for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 to be on even when your 2008 Cadillac Escalade is turned off, and it goes into sleep mode after 15 minutes of not sensing movement to preserve your battery. The reason for it always being on is that's how it saves your preset settings, if it was turned off/unplugged each time the vehicle was turned off you would need to setup the controller each time. I included a video of the # 90195 for you to take a look at.

  • What Lighting System is on a 2003 Cadillac Escalade
  • The tail lights on your 2003 Cadillac Escalade use a seperate lighting system which means the turn signal and brake lights are on different circuits. The runnings lights will be carried on the brake light circuit. I am not sure what you mean or the issue you are having but the turn signal bulb, not to be confused with the brake/running light bulb should only illuminate while the turn signal is active. If it this is not the case then you have an issue and will need to take the vehicle into...

Just go to about the 1:40 mark on the video and it shows where the wiring can be found and how to complete the brake controller installation. The wiring harness is about 4 inches behind the onboard diagnostic port. There will be a piece of white...

  • Does the Curt Front Hitch Require Fascia Trimming to Install on a 2002 Cadillac Escalade
  • Depending on how you install the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31302 will determine if you need to trim the front fascia. This front mount hitch is a high/low hitch that can be installed with the hitch opening on the top of the cross member or below it. If you choose to install the cross member with the hitch opening below the cross member you will not need to trim anything. If you want the additional ground clearance of having opening above the cross member then you will...

  • Is a Circuit Breaker Required when Installing a Brake Controller on a 2008 Cadillac Escalade
  • The short answer is neither. You will not need to use a circuit breaker when installing a brake controller on your 2008 Cadillac Escalade because it already has the wiring and fuse locations for the brake controller. The 2 wires under the hood that attach to the studs at the front of the power distribution box are factory wires. Fuses will be installed (if not present already) in the locations closest to those studs. I have linked the video you mentioned and a help article explaining...
