Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Holy macaroni! You've really dug into this and that's awesome!
Given the extensive troubleshooting you've already done, the remaining issues might stem from a faulty body control module (BCM) or grounding issues.
Dimly lit backlights could indicate a grounding problem. The door lock and window issues could be due to faulty wiring or switches. Airbags, stability control, and parking brake lights could indicate sensor or module problems.
Check for corroded connections and test BCM functionality. If this is a CAN Bus system it could be one or several modules throwing all these systems into chaos. My last thought is this; is there water leakage or previous water damage in the Escalade? Water can get into all kinds of places and cause weird issues.
I hope you figure it out and if you do, let us know what it was!
