2001 Cadillac Seville Ignition Lock Cylinder Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the Ignition Lock Cylinder on 2001 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Start by disabling the sir system while applying the parking brake before you begin fixing or servicing the Ignition Lock Cylinder. Maintenance of the key code requires disconnecting the negative Battery Cable while you remove the radio or navigation display module. Insert the key into the ignition cylinder then rotate it clockwise to the run position. You can find the Ignition Lock Cylinder release button by going through the radio opening of the ip where it stands at the right bottom side of the Ignition Switch assembly. Hold the Ignition Lock Cylinder release button down using a flat-bladed tool as you pull on the ignition cylinder to remove it from the ip. Start by pushing away the bezel retaining tabs on the Ignition Lock Cylinder then remove the bezel. Remove the light pipe from the lock cylinder before you slide the reader/exciter off of the Ignition Lock Cylinder. First install the reader/exciter onto the Ignition Lock Cylinder then position the Ignition Lock Cylinder light pipe onto the ignition cylinder before completion of the installation. Position the ignition bezel onto the lock cylinder before holding it in place by activating its retainer mechanisms. The lock cylinder removal needs to use an ignition key inside the ip opening until the release button sounds a click to indicate full security. Pull the lock cylinder softly to confirm engagement and shift the ignition key to lock position for removal. Reinstall the radio module before putting away the parking brake and reattaching the negative battery lead. To finish your work check the ignition cylinder followed by the switch to verify their proper operation when they move through all positions while also enabling the sir system.
