Known issues on the 2005 Armada. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front lower control link, where an improperly welded collar can separate and degrade vehicle handling. The second covers the engine control module relay inside the intelligent power distribution module, where silicon buildup on the contact can cause engine stalling. The third covers the air conditioning condenser fan motor, which can let in water and corrode, raising the risk of overheating and fire. The fourth covers the instrument panel fuel gauge, which can inaccurately read fuel remaining and lead to running out of gas and stalling on the highway. The fifth covers an aftermarket trailer brake control connection harness with a miswired connector that can route power to the dash light circuit instead of the trailer brakes, reducing stopping ability while towing. Owners have filed 373 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing an ECM relay stall to inspecting the front lower control link or towing-harness wiring, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 Armada.
