2002 Cadillac Seville Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the starter motor on 2002 Cadillac Seville?

  A: Service and repair of Starter motors requires beginning with Battery Cable negative disconnection. The service procedure begins with removing the Intake Manifold and then cutting off the bat cable from the Starter before eliminating the wire from the "s" terminal on the Starter. Drain the Starter motor by first removing its two mounting bolts along with pulling out the Starter device. The Starter motor installation requires attaching the "s" terminal wire followed by torquing the Starter solenoid s terminal nut to 4 n.m (35 lb in). Fit the bat terminal wire of the Starter motor before tightening the Starter to Battery Cable nut up to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The Starter motor should be installed using the mounting bolts then tightened to 30 n.m (22 lb ft). To complete the process you need to replace the Intake Manifold and re-establish the connection of the battery negative cable.
