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.

You can try searching for a service/repair manual for your 2017 Cadillac CTS 3.6 6 cylinder Luxury model on websites such as eBay, Amazon, or other online marketplaces that sell automotive literature. You can also check with Cadillac dealerships or auto parts stores as they may carry the manual you are looking for. Another option would be to search online for downloadable PDF versions of the manual, but it is important to make sure that the source of the manual is trustworthy and reliable.

1. Blown Fuse: A blown fuse can prevent power from reaching the heated seat system. Check the owner's manual for the location of the fuse for the heated seats and replace it if necessary.
2. Bad Relay: A bad relay may also prevent power from reaching the heated seat system. Check the relay for the heated seats and replace it if necessary.
3. Bad Heating Element: The heating element in the seat may have failed. If this is the case, you will need to have the seat cushion removed to replace the heating element.
4. Loose Connections: Check for loose connections in the wiring to the heated seat system. Make sure that all connections are tight and secure.
5. Control Switch Failure: The switch that turns on the heated seat may have failed. If the switch is not functioning properly, it will need to be replaced.
6. Bad Wiring: The wiring in the heated seat system may have become damaged or frayed over time. If this is the case, you will need to have the damaged wiring repaired or replaced.

I was reading through the replacement procedure for the ecm in your vehicle.Here`s what I found.you may use a used ecm but it does have to be reprogrammed to your vehicle and it can only be done at the dealership.This I know because I worked at a Cadillac and G.M. dealership.I worked at a dealership for 16 yrs.The other thing is you don`t` need the vehicles vin that the used computer came from.The only one you need is your vin number.This number has all the information that your car is equipt with.The used ecm will have the other vehicles fuel continue password so the programming will put in the fuel continue from your vehicle.The other thing that needs to be programmed is the engine oil life and the transmission oil life or they revert to 100%.Then an idle relearn procedure will have to be performed.The only thing any other shop can do is get the codes or clear the codes.But they can not program a computer.Only the authorized dealerships have this software.Hope this helps clear up your any questions.Good luck.

(look ma' no books me)??? or open glove box see users guide and is matched to your not told VIN and shows all fuses.! the users guide is free from Cadillac. get it? if lost? i,m teaching how to fish. here. next I delve into some brief specifics. no VIN told and not radio option package told this car has RPO data, , the RPO sticker shows (RPO is GMs name for "as built" options "THIS CAR" only. all codes for RADIO and now you know what is in any GM car made,.(GM will i fact decode your VIN and send you the RPO list. for free) the radio list is, day1, DTS

now the magic of networks here. "The main radio power is supplied by a 15A fuse located in the RBEC. The radio does not require a discrete ignition feed circuit for power moding. The power moding is accomplished using a structure of Virtual Networks (VN). The Power Mode Master (PMM) transmits the GMLAN power mode signals." so not scanning the car OBD2 port you miss out on key network and other errors (DTC) I will now decode that for you, it means scan the cars OBD2 port see why the radio is failing. UBEC means under hood RBEC means. rear compartment fuse block ok here is free cute video see fuses named audio. under set if havea powerful PA amp option there are more fuses. radio, and amp , audio. look or buy the SM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwOxLbkFG90 end.

It is the winter. What you see as water is just condensation from the water that is in the fuel at molecular level. The test is, Are you losing water from the coolant system? Water is nowhere new the valve stems, just oil. Leave everything as it is. Re-evaluate in summer. The head gasket can be tested with a coolant system pressure test.

could be a air pockets in the coolant system that have top bled out it is a simple exercise to have a compression test done to check for head gasket or cracked head

you may have too much coolant in it... oddly enough,. I've seen entire cooling systems (and even the engine get replaced) and it still over heated -- when in fact it was an all of a sudden the car required a larger radiator -- and the (freaky) problem was fully solved,. in your case it may be a larger holding/ overflow tank?
