I've not delt with an SSS before, but I'd first head to that rear quarter and take a look for some pinched wires if the battery hasn't had a problem before. But do a load test on the battery just to be sure. The SSS will throw codes, but generally you and I don't have the ability to either read them or do anything with them, A good Caddy shop would be able to track it down, but on other sites I'm told the light comes on for various reasons, but go around replacing both struts and other nonsense Caddy built into their vehicles. But like any good troubleshooter, go for the simple things first, which leads me back to checking the load test and looking for pinched, chaffed, dirty connections or jarred wires. Some of the other guys may have further experience on SSS and they may be able to help further, but the basics are the basics and need to be looked at first before spending a bucket load of money on this one. Good luck, and keep us posted on what turns up.

There must be something wrong with the battery and the charging system.
Do you know that batteries expire?
I experienced it before and it was the same feeling you had.
Consider replacing your battery and checking the charging system/ alternator ratings.
Cheers.
SOURCE: BATTERY IS DRAINING EVEN WHILE CAR IS NOT IN USE
I stated "such as a light " there are many, many other causes of 12 volt drains such as a seat switch that might hang up and stick. Empty that battery overnight. First install a 9V Battery Radio memory / and clock or you will have to reset both. Disconnect BLACK negative cable of battery. Using a 12V testlight, connect one end to the disconnected cable, and the other to the negative battery terinal. It should light. Remove the 20A BODY and LIGHTER fuse first . This will eliminate the courtesy light circuit . If light goes off the drain is on that circuit. STILL LIT ? drain is on another circuit. Start by eliminating fuses. Hope this helps.
