Fixing A Click-No-Start Issue on the 2017 Escalade (GM Big 3 Upgrade)

My 2017 Cadillac Escalade ESV was suffering from a random click-no-start issue with the push-button ignition. I tested the battery and it came up fine, so before throwing a starter at it, I wanted to try the ever-so-common "Big 3 Upgrade". Something that has helped me in the past with my other GM vehicles, it sure enough solved my issue here.
This is not a guaranteed fix for your vehicle, but something worth trying before spending big money on parts. Perform at your own risk.

I wish I watched this video a few days ago. I have the same exact truck and I just purchased a battery and now I see that I needed a flash reset

[@hotmanycg9655]

Thanks for the video, i have might be sme issue in my 2017escalade today, first question what size the end of 2 gauge cable 3/8 or 5/16 ? 2nd questions if im doing only negative ground, without starter and alt, it will be ok? Thankyou big time, love your video broh, appreciated👌

Did you find our what are the end sizes of the wire?
I have the same problem

[@WingsAA]

What gauge cables did you use? Were they already terminated? Thanks for sharing this video.

[@mike_stanceco]

2 gauge cables. i ordered them online with the ends already crimped and heat shrunk

[@jonsingle1614]

Would not hurt to get a bigger ALT too.....jus sayin
I have a Mechman....luv it !

[@mike_stanceco]

Good point! Definitely wouldn't hurt.

[@TheTopshatta83]

What size are those lugs ends on the cables?

[@mike_stanceco]

5/16 lugs

[@mattfranco9630]

What website did you use to order the cables for the upgrade?

[@mike_stanceco]

Grabbed them from ebay

[@tericojensen263]

How's the transmission holding up?

[@mike_stanceco]

Great so far. Deleted the trans thermostat and added a big aux cooler as well. Up to 122k miles with no issue.

[@merazin84]

Have the same issue, just threw a new battery and issue still there, I will do the cables next. I’ll update…

What ended up being the fix?

These trucks cost toooo much money for the issues they consistently have every year.

[@mike_stanceco]

All things considered, mine has been very good to me so far. Definitely has its quirks, but being able to diag & fix mostly everything on it myself has saved me a lot of money.
