If you’ve ever had to move a power seat Cadillac, then you know it can be a hassle. Not only are these cars heavy and bulky, but they also come with delicate electrical systems that must be protected at all costs. If you are in need of help moving one of these cars, here is a guide on how to do it manually. From unhooking the seat to getting it into your truck, this guide has everything you need to get the job done right.
Identification of the power seat
In order to move a power seat in a Cadillac, the driver must first locate the power button and then press it. The power seat will then pop out of its mount and can be easily lifted off the car. Once removed, the driver can relocate it to another location or discard it altogether.
Removal of the headrest and armrests
Removing the headrest and armrests from a power seat Cadillac is an easy process that can be done without tools. The first step is to locate the release button on each side of the seat. Next, use your hands to press down on either side of the release button until it pops out. Once the buttons are free, pull them out to remove the headrest and armrests.
Lifting up the rear seat
If you have a Cadillac with a power seat, it’s possible to manually move the seat up and down. To do this, first unplug the power cord from the back of the seat. Then, using two hands, grasp one end of the cord and pull up on it until the seat is in the desired position. Make sure not to yank on the cord too hard, or you might damage it. Once the seat is in place, plug in the power cord and wait a few seconds for the lift mechanism to activate.
Installation of the power seat
Installing the power seat in a Cadillac is not as difficult as you may think. The following instructions outline the basic steps necessary to install the power seat.
1) Determine where the power seat will be located in your vehicle. In some cases, there may be pre-existing brackets that hold the power seat in place. If this is the case, remove these brackets and then use them to mark the position of the power seat on the frame of your car.
2) Once you have determined where the power seat will be located, remove any existing brackets or screws that are holding it in place. You may also need to remove any padding or fabric that is covering the power seat.
3) Locate and unscrew the four mounting screws that attach the back panel of the power seat to the frame of your vehicle.
4) Carefully pull off both panels of the power seat and set them aside.
5) Install new mounting screws into places that correspond with those that were previously removed from around the perimeter of both panels. Be sure to tighten these screws securely so that they do not come loose over time.
6) Replace both panels of the power seat onto their respective mounting screws and make sure they are snugly attached at all points around their perimeter. Be sure to orient them so that they face forward towards your vehicle’s occupant restraint system (ORS).
7) Reconnect your O
Adjustment of the power seat
If your car has a power seat, adjusting it can be a bit tricky. There are controls on either side of the seat and you’ll need to move them in order to get the seat to raise or lower.
You’ll also want to make sure that the adjustment is level – if it’s not, you can adjust it by moving the controls up or down. You’ll find more detailed instructions on how to do this in your car’s owner’s manual.
