• Q: How to replace the front seat cushion pad on 2003 Cadillac Seville?

  A: The first step to replace front seat cushions requires disabling the sir system. The front seat assembly needs adjustment in front and upward positions to reach fasteners inside the rear section of the front seat cushion assembly. Unfasten the seat cushion assembly fasteners before shifting the front seat assembly backward in the vehicle direction. Staging the front of the cushion downward lets you reach the hidden fasteners to unfasten them. The heated seat cushion electrical connector detachment becomes necessary when replacing cushions that have ka1 installed. The wire harness retainers should be disconnected from the bottom of the seat cushion frame while leaving the lumbar switch knob attached to maintain its position in the lumbar switch assembly. Disconnect the knobs from both the Seat Switch and Seat Switch trim plate. To access the Seat Switch use the j 38778 (J 38778) and open the front seat cushion cover before removing the switch bracket retainers. Use the tool to unlock each mount on the switch mounting bracket before taking out the switches and bracket assembly from the bottom frame of the seat. Install the Seat Switch to the seat cushion frame then draw the seat cushion cover over the Seat Switch while aligning its holes. Place j channels onto seat cushion frame before mounting the Seat Switch trim plate bezel while installing knobs to the switch. The seat cushion electrical connectors for heated seats should be connected if your vehicle has ka1 before installing wire harnesses onto the seat cushion frame and then anchoring the seat cushion to the seat riser. Adjust the front section of the seat assembly to install the fasteners onto the seat cushion assembly until reaching the rear fasteners. All seat cushion fasteners should be tightened to 9 n.m (80 lb in) so the sir system may be enabled.
