• Q: How to replace the front seat motor on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Disabling the SIR system is required as the first step for front seat adjuster motor replacement. First extract the seat from the vehicle after which you must remove the seat cushion to reach the seat adjuster motors. The replacement procedure requires determination of which motor type requires changing between the rear vertical adjuster motor, front vertical adjuster motor and horizontal adjuster motor. Unplug the electrical connector after extracting the cables that drive the seat adjuster from the motor unit. A 3/16 in drill bit helps to drill out the factory motor insert from the motor plate bottom side after laying the seat on a dry clean surface. Install the new seat adjuster motor after saving the factory motor insert for installing back during the motor assembly process. Fix the new seat adjuster motor (1, 2, 3) to the motor plate with factory motor inserts (which were installed in the rubber grommets of the new motor) drilled previously. Drive the rivet through the motor plate so that it reaches the motor insert before securing it. Attach the electrical connector and mount the seat adjuster drive cables into the setup. After reinstalling the seat cushion let the seat back enter the vehicle. Finally, enable the SIR system.
