• Q: How to replace the starter motor on 2001 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The starting process begins with disconnecting the negative Battery Cable followed by removing the Intake Manifold. First detach the "s" terminal wire from the Starter unit then remove the bat cable from both the Starter and the Starter unit. Start by removing the two bolts used for mounting the Starter motor followed by Starter motor removal from the seat. You should wire the Starter motor "s" terminal then secure the Starter solenoid s terminal nut at 4 n.m (35 lb in). Attach the Starter motor bat terminal wire followed by torquing the Battery Cable to Starter terminal nut to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Fasten the Starter motor having installed it together with its mounting bolts while tightening them to a torque of 30 n.m (22 lb ft). Reinstall the Intake Manifold before you complete the procedure by reattaching the battery negative cable.
