Fuse Box Diagrams https://fuse-box.info > cadillac > cadillac-dts-2005-20... Fuse box diagram (location and assignment of electrical fuses and relays) for Cadillac DTS (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011). Some ideas here, but most deal with NO crank, no start. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+Cadillac+DTS+crank+no+start It is a highly complex vehicle, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose what electrics aren't working https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..

Hi Joan Whittaker,what does no crank mean. the starter motor is dead? some posters call d crank= running engine. which engine there? cranks fast but will not start. underhood fuse box f24 blown? step 2 after all fuses checked is: shift to Neutral see if that allows cranking per my red circle below is PCM control. is the dash IMMO lamp happy? as you can see the pcm decides to do the cranking or not via its starter relay. if you scanned the PCM it will tell you why it id not start. immo error OR A/t PRNDL (TRS) ERRORS. OOPS the IMMO page in your users guide covers IMMO if key 1 fails try key2, car came with 2 keys new. READ ALL PAGES ON IMMO FIRST If the engine does not start and the Security System Light comes on Security System Light (CLUSTER LAMP ICON LOOKS LIKE CAR CUT IN HALF WITH A PADLOCK, never ignore this lamp. This light flashes when the Theft Deterrent System has been activated. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1078925/Cadillac-Cts.html?page=256

Hi!!

It holds 7.5 quarts. If you need a copy of your owners manual give me an e-mail address to send it to.

theirs a positive post on the fuse block from battery

• The AIR pump relay--The AIR pump relay supplies high current and battery voltage to the AIR pump. The ECM commands the relay ON by supplying a ground to the relay control circuit. • The AIR CNTRL relay--The AIR CNTRL relay supplies high current and battery voltage to the AIR solenoid. The ECM commands the relay ON by supplying a ground to the relay control circuit. Both of these are in the underhood fuse / relay box. Should be labled

Bad relay could be drawing excess amps. Bad starter can do this as well.

+ symbol is positive and - symbol is negative.. It should be the ( Black ) color cable on battery ..( Red )cable is positive + it shoul be stamped on the battery top or on side near terminals

there is a manual release in the trunk in case the cable breaks

it's built into the transmission range selector

How long does it sit before trying to restart when it fails?

With all the electronic's on your vehicle this type problem is hard to diagnose. It would be better if it died an didn't start back up , then it could be diagnosed . Your vehicle has a number of electronic control module's , sensor's etc..... Plus the modules all share information on a serial data bus ,communication network . A loose connection ,a module not sending info. ,anything like this could bring down the data bus an cause it to die. I feel for you , the dealer shouldn't have just replaced part's like that if they were not sure . Problems like this can take a long time to pin down . Hooking up testing equipment , using a 8 channel lab scope to check electical signals to an from the PCM , BCM ,data bus. Could take a lot of diagnostic time . Did you buy the vehicle new ? Get the factory Rep. involved , engineers from cadillac etc. When i have a problem vehicle at the dealer that's what i do , call tech help line .

Sometimes the front suspension bushes will squeak when you hit bumps, and occasionally it will be a shock absorber. If this does not turn out to be the case, I would just take it to another dealer and ask them to look at it.

You have to get power to the system to release the key.

There is no power steering belt - the PS pump is driven by the serpentine belt on the passenger end of the engine.

ballast is located in each headlamp assembly.

One injector (#2) is not working properly causing misfires. This can be because the injector has failed, the ignition control model driver for that injector has failed, or there is a wiring problem between the module and the injector. Most frequently, it's the injector and you could start by replacing it, but it's complicated and if it were me, I'd take it to a GM dealer for diagnosis and repair.

Whatever fell off isn't a torsion bar - there isn't one. For help, describe the part better (a picture would help).

here ya go. hope this helps http://www.oemxenonshop.com/Cadillac-DTS-Xenon-Headlights-Ballast-Bulb-Problems-Replacement.html
