Hello,

Recently purchased an 07 Escalade with 208kms, great shape, very well maintained.
Have sold many Escalades in the past (wholesaler) but first time owning one.

Just had a few questions I was hoping you guys could help me out with.

1) In regards to the heated washer fluid, I noticed the fuse was missing but I've also read that GM purposely stopped those system. Is it as simple as putting the fuse back and it working again? Also the automatic wipers, you just simply turn the dial to anywhere you'd like and that turns them on correct?

2) I have the 2 captain seats and the rear bench, it seems like I only have 6 seats in total, did they come with the choice of 3 or 2 seats in the rear?

3) My main concern has been the air suspension, I can tell by the shocks in the rear that they are air shocks but I never hear the compressor, not a single noise at all! Whenever I drive the vehicle and exit, it's sitting straight. But when I return after an hour or so, it always seems to be lower in the rear, but then drive it again, look at it and it's straight. But absolutely no compressor noise what so ever.
Could it be the weight of the Gas?
Anything advise on what to check for?
No lights on the dash either, just a bad tire sensor.

Thank you in advance!

I would leave it disconnected.

They come with 1st row, 2 front seats. 2nd row, 2 captains [or] bench. 3rd row is 2 units 60/40.

3) My main concern has been the air suspension, I can tell by the shocks in the rear that they are air shocks but I never hear the compressor, not a single noise at all!

The compressor is right behind the drivers rear tire. I could be the fuse if it is not working. The compressor may be gone.

If the recall has been performed, the actual heating unit would have been removed. IIRC, AlphaTherm made a replacement unit that addressed the recall issues of the OEM unit. Its a plug and play install/upgrade.

Auto wipers only work on the first click. They'll run as they fit as well as modify the speed themselves

I think auto-wipers work at least with the first two lowest settings. My rear seats (not attached now) are 50/50 splitted but I think fit three, I do assume the middle seat in the rear might be even less comfortable than the others. I have bench on the second row and my car is registered for 8 (1+7). When turning the engine on, soon the compressor should run for few seconds.
