The battery is under the rear seat cushion, just give a sharp pull up on each side of the cushion and it sould come up. Take the key out of the ignition. Remove the vent tube connected to the battery. Using a 8mm wrench remove the black negative black cable from the battery. Then remove the red positive cable. On the rear back of the battery there is a13mm bolt to remove it you will need a 13mm socket a long extension and ratchet. remove the bolt then the plate under the bolt, move the vent tubes out of the way. Pull up on the battery and remove it. (the battery is big and heavy. Install new battery if cable ends are corroded clean with baking soda mixed with water or coke wrinse off good with water. Make sure you connect the red positive cable first. make sure cable bolts are TIGHT. Before starting turn ignition on for 10 seconds then off do this 3 times to reset the engine computer. this should do it.

    Ms. Judy, Please make sure you reconnect the vent tubes to the new battery. The fumes from a charging battery are dangerous. Sorry I forgot this info. Bluebirdmate

Cadillac DTS (2005-2011) fuses and relays

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

2006 Cadillac DTS. I need wiring diagram for it please?

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




dts-undefined-undefined-0.jpg 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.

Looking for the radio and speakers fuses for my 2006 Cadillac DTS

The radio and speaker fuses in a 2006 Cadillac DTS are typically located in the fuse box under the hood. To find the exact location of the fuses for the radio and speakers, you can consult the owner's manual for your vehicle, which should have a diagram of the fuse box layout and a list of each fuse and its function.
If you don't have access to the manual, you can try searching online for a diagram of the fuse box layout for your specific make and model. It's also a good idea to check the fuses visually to see if they're blown. A blown fuse will appear visibly damaged, with the metal filament inside the plastic fuse housing being melted or broken.
If you're having trouble locating the fuses or determining if they're blown, you may want to have a mechanic or professional inspect the electrical system for you.

Where is egr valve located on 2006 Cadillac DTS

I'm not familiar with your vehicle (I'm in the UK). However, the EGR valve is usually connect to the air intake.

Look for a 'unit' that is connected to the air intake via a tube.

Here's a link done with a general Google search for '2006 Cadillac DTS egr'. Hopefully you will recognise your own egr valve amongst the images:
