How To Rebuild A Cadillac Power Seat Transmission
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- As part of our series in exploring how the power seats work in a Cadillac, Josh will go over the function of the seat transmission and how it interacts with other components. He will take apart, clean up, and put back together the power seat transmissions, which is the same process we use at Caddy Daddy for rebuilt units. These specific transmissions are from the late 60s to mid 70s Cadillacs that had bucket seats in them. This process should be a helpful guide if you are looking to diagnose your Cadillac power seat problems.
If you have any questions, please let us know in the comments section below.

He has such an easiness with his instructions. Does a really great job of explaining with detail but not over complicated. Excellent video, guys! (PS..KZ this is your sister)
Thanks! He's definitely the man for the job! We all appreciate Josh's fine work.
Glad the video was helpful. We try to show how easy many of these little jobs can be. Josh
Great video, helped me get my seats back working perfect, thanks.
great Video Thank You VERY Much!!!!
Much appreciated. Thank you for watching Josh.
I'll be doing that soon on my 64 coup... thanks your awesome 😎👍🏻
Great to hear. It should be a fun little project. Let us know how it goes and thank you!
Great video just what I was looking for,while trying to figure out why my linear motion side wasn't workng on my 66 Caprice....thnx for this vid.
Thank you. Great video. That was exactly what was wrong with my 66 eldorado drivers seat. Straight forward fix. Appreciate your video and clear explanation.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. Josh
Very informative. Enjoyed watching the video. This will come of use the day my 78 Coupe deVille 50/50 6 way power seats with passenger recline, fail.
Great video!
Thanks, Josh
@@Caddydaddy Josh, thank you! I believe I will need to do this to mine and your video shows how straight forward it is! Of course, knowing that Caddy Daddy has any parts (if needed) is reassuring too!
Great video, guys! Thanks for this.
Thanks, we appreciate it. Many more videos to come.
Great information
Very cool 😎
Hello, Can you do a video on the 6way motor you have in the background? I have one I took apart and forgot how it goes back together.
This video is great, thanks! Do you have a video planned for rebuilding a power door lock actuator (72 coupe)?
The lock actuators are simply solenoids and there is really nothing to service inside. All that can be done is try and clean and lubricate the one moving part. Josh
Do you sale parts?
Awesome video! My 79 Cadillac Deville with bucket seats has an issue on the passenger side. Every movement on the switch buttons make something under the seat click but the seat does not move. Just like there’s something stuck or not engaging but definitely getting power. What might this mean?
Since you mentioned hearing a click, that leads me to believe you have the 6-way power seats. That system has two power sources, one for the seat transmission (the likely source of the click) and another for the motor. Check that the motor is getting power with a high-current test lamp. If there is power, then something is mechanically bound up, if no power, then there is an electrical problem. If the problem is mechanical, then you'll need to remove the seat to inspect, clean, and lubricate all the moving parts. Getting a seat that will not move out can be a very difficult and frustrating task since some bolts might be obstructed. Josh
@@Caddydaddy Thank you for responding, I’ve never had a person respond to a question before! Would I be able to send you a small video of me pushing the switches and showing what’s happening under the seat?
thank you for your vid on the transmission .. im having trouble with the motor . i have it out of the 73 eldorado. 3 wires 1 brown active on a single plug , a yellow and blk and a green on wht . to test this motor what wires do i hook onto power, many thanks albert (australia)
To test the seat motor ground the case. Then apply 12 volts to the brown wire and one of the other wires at the same time. Note the direction of rotation of the motor. Now, connect the brown wire and the other wire to 12 volts. The motor should spin in the opposite direction. Do not leave power connected to the brown wire without power to one of the other two wires.
@@Caddydaddy just tested it and WAMO it works fine . my problem must be the relay.. many thanks Albert (and your vids are really helpful thank you)
@@albertmatsa3981 We are glad we could help you out. Many more videos to come, so keep an eye out. Please subscribe to our channel if you haven't done already. Thanks!
Thanks for such detailed tutorial… what if the solenoid itself is bad ( not sticking at all) ?
Do you rebuild power seat motors or do you have one
for sale for a 1972 monte carlo custom. ?
We don't. Don't have a source for this part. John
How did you clean the parts? What did you use?
We use an ultrasonic cleaning machine with a de-greasing solution.Josh
We should be getting some parts to rebuild seat transmissions listed soon Today is March 4th 2022 Joihn
