Cadillac CTS coupe- door button problem

Easy 5 min fix!

[@paulnixon1507]

You, sir, have won the Internet! Just spent 20 minutes going through this on my car and it solved my problem. No money spent at the dealership. Thank you! Thank you for putting this video out there. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Simple easy to follow instructions. Even buying a brand new can of electrical cleaner it cost me less than five dollars to do this fix. To take to the Cadillac dealer I would’ve had to spend at least an hour which would’ve been $130 at shop rates. Thanks again.

I have a 2013 CTS Coupe. I want to verify that this video solved my problem and now my door works as if it was bought yesterday. I had trouble disconnecting some of the parts so it took me a bit longer. The only thing this video does not detail are the ways to release some of the pieces from other parts. However, once that was sorted the video was helpful to the end of the process

[@wendyfleur2374]

This worked like a charm.... I used rubbing alcohol!!! Thank you sooo much.

[@ashtonsmith6611]

Also rubbing alcohol works instead of the electric spray. Just put some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and clean the sensors.

[@justinianoamado276]

Thank you sir

[@nealtamms526]

Great video, got an estimate from Dealer for $178 to replace the switch, did your repair in 10 minutes, works like new. Thanks

[@rickl8815]

It worked. Thanks! I also did it to the outside door handle. It was giving me some issues of not opening. took out the 2 screws, removed the handle, peeled back the plastic covering and surprised it was all green build up inside. used some alcohol and Q-tips. clean it up. and 100% operating again.

[@BIGmil20]

Will be doing this tomorrow

[@bernardmartinez3442]

I was thinking to take mine to the dealership one of these days. But, I'm watching this video and I'm going to do that tomorrow 🙂 I really hope that it works.

[@EMPIREAUTOGRP]

[@austinalbino]

This is great-- worked like a charm for me! fwiw, i used regular WD-40 instead of electrical cleaner and it did the job fine.

[@MrTubeton]

I just wanted to add my praise to the pile. I followed the video exactly, and exactly the same, great result. I even let out a whoo hoo when it was all back together and it worked just like the video.

[@karinkirbytyra]

LIFE SAVERRRRR

[@incognitoone2909]

I did this to my car a few years ago and it was easy but just today I started having a problem when I close my door it won't stay shut Have you had this problem? I seen videos on fixing the latch with a screw driver but can't get mine to shut.

[@kerrinaelliott5717]

This is my current issue & I've no idea what to do everything's closed & I'm stressing gotta drive home from work & try & hold my door closed at the same time... Nervous.. please let me know any hacks to let me close til can get some help & or any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Ty

[@incognitoone2909]

I ended up having to have the door latch assembly replaced on that door on my car. The part has a motor in it and it plugs in and is kind of hard to get to without taking apart a lot of stuff. There is a video that shows how to do it on here but I seen the labor that was involved and how cold it was at the time here and I decided to take it to a mechanic to have it replaced. If you type in 2011 Cadillac Cts Door Latch Assembly 2 Door it will show. It is a 38 minute video and that's what I needed them to do to fix the problem on mine

[@incognitoone2909]

Did you ever have it checked out to find out what it was?

[@MarkWTabor]

Now, that was easier than
Expected (Way easier)

[@ashtonsmith6611]

Worked like a charm

What about the exterior button?

[@malimusic5533]

Just did mine

[@shawnmichaud4484]

Thanks so much for this helpful video. No kidding, let me know your paypal if you see this and i'll send you a tip for saving me replacing the button.

[@jaimemartinez344]

Anyone have any issues with the outside door?

[@jkbethune]

Does your car have keyless entry, and keyless ignition?

[@lockjaw423]

What about the out side ???

[@augustbaptiste9001]

What about drivers side outside

[@edgagaboo9216]

Did this but my car door still has problems sometimes it opens and sometimes it don’t

[@mark.hess2]

Crucial...huge thanks

[@VAGR4NT-]

my car door won't open from the inside button and from the outside pad. I completely replaced the inside button with a new one and it still makes a click sound with the window and doesn't open. What could be the issue?

[@wesautomotive1568]

Does it make that same noise when u try inside or out.? If you’re hearing something that means the switch is good and the issue could be the door lock latch assembly. Inside the door.

[@VAGR4NT-]

@@wesautomotive1568 yes, from the outside I hear the sound too when trying the pad. Do you have a video on how to remove the door lock latch assembly and replace it?

[@wesautomotive1568]

@@VAGR4NT- I don’t have a video of that yet. I can at least get the procedure for you and email it to you. Send me your email address

[@b1983able]

How you clean the exterior button?

[@wesautomotive1568]

I don’t think the exterior button is possible to clean and repair. It’s a totally integrated circuit. It’s just like a corvette.. But the good news it shouldn’t be that expensive for a brand new one from the dealer. Give them a call. Don’t be scared. Lol. It’s only two screws and it comes right out

[@roel2377]

Having issues removing the button from the silver part 😒

[@LiFeLife318]

💯check out my modded out CTS coupe

[@k.a.m.kidscabtransportatio9859]

What about if it wont open from the outside?

[@wesautomotive1568]

K.A.M. Kids Cab Transportation. Well to be 100% we would have to diagnose it but the issue could be either the outside door handle micro switch

[@ridiculouspro]

Can you do a video replacing the outside switch? or any issues that would come from the outside door not working/opening?

[@wesautomotive1568]

ridiculouspro I haven’t had a car come in with an issuer with the outside handle yet. If or when I do, I will be sure to make a vid
