How to replace the starter motor on Cadillac Escalade?

Question

Accepted Answer

Starting the Starter motor replacement process requires the vehicle to be raised while disconnecting the negative Battery Cable. Owners of 1500 series vehicles must take off the oil pan skid plate bolts together with steel plate while 2500 series owners should begin with skid plate bolt removal from the front then loosen the back two bolts before removing the plate if equipped. The replacement process starts with removing the transmission cover bolt and the two Starter bolts followed by taking off the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the oil level sensor. To prevent wire and cable damage do not hang the Starter from the solenoid terminals since a rope or mechanics wire serve as effective support. Move the Starter until it exits the transmission space before using proper support. Put the vehicle in half position after which you should take out the right-front wheel and tire. Start by taking off the Starter solenoid cable clip bolt from the frame then remove the Starter solenoid cable nut followed by the engine wiring harness lead nut and terminal from the Starter. The Starter solenoid cable needs to be detached from the Starter before removing it through the wheel well opening. The transmission cover needs unsnapping before removing the Starter heat shield. To install the Starter begin with attaching the Starter heat shield when replacement is necessary along with connecting the transmission cover onto the Starter. Thread the Starter through the wheel well access point then join the Starter solenoid cable to the Starter unit with the nut torque to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Secure the Starter solenoid cable clip onto the frame after tightening the clip bolt to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Fasten the engine wiring harness lead terminal to the Starter using a lead nut while tightening it to 3.4 n.m (30 lb in). Place the Starter properly before tightening the two bolts to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). After reinstalling the right front wheel and tire the technician can raise the vehicle before connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the oil level sensor. The transmission cover bolt needs to be installed while securing it to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Residents should install the oil pan skid plate on 2500 series vehicles by tightening rear bolts followed by front bolts to 28 n.m (21 lb ft) torque settings; 1500 series vehicles require skid plate installation together with rear bolts and front bolts tightened to the same specifications. Drop the vehicle and restore the negative Battery Cable as the last step of the maintenance procedure.
