I'm Going To Assume You HGav The 3.2L Opal Engine. These Were Most Common For The Crangshaft Position Sensor Failling When Hot, Causing A Stall. When The Vehicle Stalled The Sensor Would Cool & The Engine Would ReStart. This Would Repeat Over & Over, & Over...
If You Have Access To A Scan Tool, Check For DTC P0335, If It Does Even As History, Replace The CKP Sensor First.

    Had the same problem with my CTS, the crankshaft position sensor fixed it.

My 2008 sts is push start but when I turn it off the power accessories lights, radio, etc still gets power so the next day the battery dies from that I jumped it off and now it says start disabled

Look for the light in the trunk, under good and glove box to see if they stay on. If the radio stays on after you shut off the engine but won't go off after you open the door then the body control module is faulty.

The voltage regulator built in your alternator is failing is usually easier to change the alternator and if I were you I'd change the battery too because you've been running the car off the battery and I'm sure the cells are weak

Radio will not go off after shutting off ignition . This started after new battery replacement in 08 Cadillac CTS. The radio used to go off when you opend the drivers door. Now will not go off. How to fix?

Who did the battery replacement? I'd take it back ask them to help you figure it out. Could be there is a security issue so the Radio stays on as an alarm. Many radios have a security code that needs to be re entered any time a battery is changed or other wiring is changed. or Fuses blow. Check Owners manual for troubleshooting and details about radio security code. Dealer may have code tied to Vin number.

2011 CADILLAC SRX WILL NOT START. LIGHTS AND REAR HATCH WILL OPEN SO DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE BATTERY???

Try jump starting it from another car. or that thing should have a volt gauge while trying to crank it if it drops lower then 11volts it wont start. or if you can hook up a volt gauge to the battery if not just try jump starting it.

Auto Zone does not test the alternator under full load so the test result could be borderline.
start the car and turn everything on. If the voltage drops lower than 14.2
replace the alternator.
also the battery could be being drained overnight. to check use a test light by removing a battery terminal and connecting light between battery and cable with car off.
if it lights start be removing fuses.
when the light goes off the problem is with this circuit.
lastly if the light stays on take the wires off the alternator.
if the light goes out replace alternator.

Have a 2002 escalade wont start, lights and everything comes on not turning over

If the security light is not staying on, I would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch.

Hazard lights wont stop flashing and car wont turn over.

unlock driver door twice consecutively because that's how u disarm the car alarm.As for the radio, input the code that's in ur booklet. If u don't have it, call ur local dealer with the car's serial number and they will give u the radio code. It's 4 digits.
