Sure the remote is original ? Have you tested when bought the car ? If you're lucky, only needs new battery (the remote). Otherwise is a computer problem.

SOURCE: Bought a new battery and my 1992 buick lesabre still won't start

i had the same problem on my '92 Lesabre ltd. All you need to do it is get the rust off your battery cables, use the wire brush to scrub the contact surfaces. also use a wrench to tighten the bolt to the battery, take precaution as to not to tighten too much , it might beak the battery threads.

SOURCE: how do i replace headlight in 2005 cadillac sts

Two hour job in your driveway. Lift the side needing replaced, remove plastic clips and the wheel liner. Unbolt the bumper face starting from the wheelwell and working in. When replacing the passanger side, remove the bolts holding the fuse box in place and move to allow more room. the replace is made through the wheelwell reaching in.

My Cadillac STS 05 door got hit so i had to replace it with a new door i found at a junk yard. so i replace it and everything was working fine then i notice the lights were "Flickering" so i kept getting...

Take it an have vehicle scan done . Your vehicle has a vast amount of electronics , control modules , communication networks for the modules to share data on . All it takes is one of the wires touching ground to cause all kind of problems . There are modules inside the doors that control power windows , locks , mirrors etc. . Hooking up a scan tool that can check for communications from all modules . Not a code reader . A GM factory Tech 2 would be best . I work for Cadillac ,have for twenty years .

After my husband changed the battery in my STS, the CD player will not work. I have 3 CD's loaded in the player. It will not play or eject.

You need enter the unlock CODE for extract your CDs; check in your owners manual (any label in the last page .

THEFTLOCK is designed to discourage theft of your vehicle’s radio. The feature works automatically by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). If the radio is moved to a different vehicle, it will not operate. If the radio is removed from your vehicle, the original VIN in the radio can be used to trace the radio back to your vehicle.

With THEFTLOCK® activated, the radio will not operate if stolen.

Fot other details can check 2005-Cadillac-STS-Owners-Manual

Hope helps.

2005 Caddy V8 sts no longer remote cranks. lights

I had the same problem with my STS. Go back through your programing menu and "check" remote start again. Somehow, mine defaulted to not allowing remote start feature. It was good to go as soon as I re-programmed it.

NO FOB DETECTED

Slight glitch from what I've found. Has happened to me at the gas pump. One other time while talking outside my car with out opening the doors. If No FOB detected then step out of the car lock and unlock, get back in and try. If still dosen't detect then you need to walk twenty feet away with your key and it should reset.
