Let me know how it goes.

I own a 2003 Cadillac Escalade and it would not start for my wife the other night. She finally got a jumpstart to get it home. I put in a new battery but I get nothing what so ever. No lights on the dashboard or anything. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Does the new battery have a charge?

If all your lights come on, and you have this concern after changing a battery, the you will need to check to see if the starter is getting a signal when it don't start. If you have a test light, check for power on the small wire at the starter when key is in crank. If the light lights, you need a starter.

Have a 2003 Escalade with 103,000. Tried to start, all lights come on but, engine didn't start. Tried locking/unlocking by using both key fabs with no luck. Tried unhooking the battery + cable for about 5min with no luck. Now the dash lights are not coming on. All that light up is the symbol of a engine. Any ideas before it gets the rollback????

check the condition of the battery first. if it's bad it screws up everything. Then check the large fuses in the underhood electrical center. you should be able to see if they are blown or not. Also check on the starter for a fusible link wire that may have burnt up. That's to protect your system. It may be the large red wire leading to the underhood electrical center....
