Repair Fuses: 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV Fuse Diagrams Guide
For owners of the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV, the fuse box diagram is an important guide that can help them keep electrical parts in good shape and figure out what’s wrong. The fuse box is usually easy to reach, either under the dashboard or in the engine bay. It holds several fuses that protect different circuits in the car. These fuses protect against electrical overload, which keeps important systems like the lights, music, and power windows from getting damaged. If something goes wrong because of a blown fuse, you need to look at the fuse box illustration right away. This diagram shows the layout and amperage rating of each fuse. This makes it easy to find and change any fuses that aren’t working. By looking at the diagram and using the right new fuses, Escalade ESV owners can quickly get the affected electrical parts working again, making sure that their vehicle will continue to be reliable and letting them enjoy its features.

Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the wires that provide the power to the devices in your vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse needs to be replaced, the same amperage fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature of the vehicle that is not needed to use and replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the fuse. If the band is broken or melted, replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad fuse with a fuse of identical size and rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
- Turn off the vehicle.
- Locate the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse block.
- Use the fuse puller to remove the fuse from the top or side, as shown above.
- If the fuse must be replaced immediately, borrow a replacement fuse with the same amperage from the fuse block. Choose a vehicle feature that is not needed to safely operate the vehicle. Repeat Steps 2-3.
- Insert the replacement fuse into the empty slot of the blown fuse.
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if the lamps go on and off or remain off?
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop until the motor cools and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to heavy snow or ice may cause wiper linkage damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windshield before using the windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an electrical problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get it fixed.
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are protected from short circuits by a combination of fuses and circuit breakers. This greatly reduces the chance of damage caused by electrical problems.
Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked with their ampere rating. Do not exceed the specified amperage rating when replacing fuses and circuit breakers. The use of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can result in a vehicle fire. You and others could be seriously injured or killed.
Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not meet GM’s original fuse specifications is dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result in a fire. You or others could be injured or killed, and the vehicle could be damaged.
See Accessories and Modifications 0 369 and General Information 0 369.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see Electrical System Overload 0 390.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement. The engine compartment fuse block is in the engine compartment, on the driver’s side of the vehicle. The vehicle may not be equipped with all of the fuses, relays, and features shown.
Lift the cover to access the fuse block.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical component of the vehicle may damage it. Always keep the covers on any electrical component.
A fuse puller is available in the left instrument panel fuse block.

FAQs
The fuse box in the 2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV is typically located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
A blown fuse can often be identified by a visibly broken wire or a burnt appearance on the fuse element.
Typically, you’ll only need a fuse puller tool or a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the blown fuse.
The size and type of fuse used in the Escalade ESV can vary depending on the specific circuit. Refer to the owner’s manual or the fuse box cover for details.
No, it’s crucial to replace a blown fuse with one of the same type and amperage rating to prevent electrical issues or damage to the vehicle’s systems.
To access the fuse box, you may need to remove a cover panel located either in the engine compartment or under the dashboard.
In most vehicles, fuse colors don’t have a specific meaning. It’s more important to match the amperage rating and type of fuse.
Replacing a fuse is generally a simple task that can be done by most vehicle owners. However, if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with electrical work, it’s best to have a professional mechanic handle it.
The owner’s manual for your Escalade ESV should contain a fuse box diagram. If you don’t have the manual, you can often find diagrams online or at auto parts stores.
If you can’t locate a blown fuse, there may be a larger electrical issue at play. In this case, it’s best to consult with a professional mechanic.
Fuses can blow due to a variety of reasons, including short circuits, overloaded circuits, or faulty components.
It depends on which circuit the blown fuse is affecting. If it’s a non-critical system, you may be able to drive temporarily, but it’s best to address the issue as soon as possible.
You can use a multimeter to check the continuity of the fuse. If the multimeter indicates continuity, the fuse is likely still good.
There’s no specific order, but it’s a good idea to start with the fuse for the suspected faulty circuit and work from there.
If replacing the fuse doesn’t solve the issue, there may be a deeper electrical problem that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
