Check the wiring harness for corrosion in the connectors or trace the wires and see if two possibly connected whiches them to short circuit to entire section causing sensor or fuse issues because the circuit is overloaded or incomplete! Good luck

Same here. My Acadia 2012 windows will not roll down. I have put a fuse (25) in the power window fuse spot in the glove compartment and still no power. The seat power uses the same fuse and I know the fuse works for them just not for the windows. Is there another fuse I'm missing?

Ever since this thing w the thermostat started my steering assist stopped working completely.
PaulG from United States a year ago
Similar issues where I also had A/C working inconsistently and engine light. Was the engine thermostat. Replacement at 80k miles, about $1,300. Was super unhappy about the failure given the relatively low mileage but it’s working now. Seems to be part of the very poor track record with the electrical components of this era Acadia.

Alarm / Security System Disables Vehicle, Car does not turn over.

GMC Acadia 2011 SLT 190459 miles
All the vehicle sensors have been replaced, I mean all. We have also replaced the break pedal, we have replaced all the timing change and the kit it comes with. Gasoline Pump has also been replaced. We have replaced the additional gasloine pump that's in the front. We have also replaced the Ignition Coil package. A 45 year mechanic said probably replacing the Alarm system or the main computer module might do the trick. Any ideas?

Bruce from United States 3 years ago
The overheating issue in your 2010 GMC Acadia could have a variety of causes, and it's important to diagnose the problem correctly to prevent further damage to your engine. A common cause of overheating is a malfunctioning thermostat, which regulates the flow of coolant in the engine. If the thermostat fails to open, it can cause the engine to overheat. However, there are other possible causes of overheating, such as a leak in the coolant system, a failing water pump, or a clogged radiator.
Additionally, the fact that your heater is not working could indicate a related issue with the coolant system. To diagnose the problem, you should start by checking the level and condition of the coolant in the radiator. If the coolant level is low, you may have a leak in the system. If the coolant is dirty or contaminated, it could be clogging the engine and reducing its ability to cool properly.
