Seat heater repair 2000 cadillac sedan deville

The seat heater on the driver's seat stopped working. It's not unplugged. Any ideas of the problem and the solution?

  • polishcad Dec 08, 2008

    I have a 2000 deville that the drivers seat heater dont work on the seat or back. I bought a chillons manual and it does not say a thing about the problem or how to fix it. I called GM and they say see your dealer, i call the dealer and they say bring the car in so we can look at it. I need to get my hand on a chematic so that i can check to see what the problem is and how to fix it.

    I have the same problem, for the second time. The 1st time it was under warranty...I let them deal with it. This time its on my nickel. I took the car in and they said they needed to replace both heating units (cost about $500). I can't believe this is the problem for the second time. I can't imagine both modules failing simultaneous on two different occasions.

    Any thoughts?

    PS: This is a 2005 Deville DHS

This is not really a solution, but a debunking of the CTS owner's solution. The Deville has it's seat heater fuses for left and right seats as well as a fuse for the control switches in the trunk. Remove the 4 plastic nuts under the lining near the rear window and check those fuses. There is also a maxifuse for many components under the hood under the tiny fuse box near the drive side wheel well. You have to pull hard on the black plastic to pop this shield off. If it's not the fuses, you might have a problem with the heater elements themselves. Both of mine broke after 10 years of use (fuses were fine)

I have a 2004 CTS. I know there are two fuse boxes underneath the floor carpeting in front of the rear seat. Remove the rear seat bottom cushion and pull the carpet forward and you will see them. Inside the cover identifies what fuse is for what function. Hopefully it is a blown fuse, otherwise my guess would be a short in the wiring some where.

I have a 2000 Cadillac Deville that has an intermittent problem with the seat heater. When I push the button I can hear the relay click on but it immediately clicks off. Sometimes if I cycle the button...

Best bet ,have it diagnosed at a qualified repair shop . Has a couple of electronic modules involved . Driver door module , heated seat module . But before you criticizes have a look at the wiring diagram an tell me you understand what's happening .Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html Enter vehicle info. year , make , model and engine size . Under system click on interior & driver amenity , then under subsystem click heated seats . Click the search button then the blue link . Hooking up a scan tool that can communicate with driver door module for the purpose of checking for DTC'S diagnostic trouble code's .

1992 cadillac deville, driver's side seat belt

OK, I had the same problem with my 1990 Cadillac Deville. Had to go to a junk yard where they gave me the entire bolted on assembly. I got a 3/8" impact wrench and unbolted the belt buckle from the frame, and did the same to the one on the assembly they gave me. After that my buckle worked great. The color even matched the old one.

Battery removal 2000 cadillac deville

Its on passenger side under rear seat cushion. Get in back seat FACING rear seatback, grab under lip of bottom seat cushion, and pull straight up. Disconnect seat heater connector (if so equipped) on passenger side and remove seat bottom. Tada! There ya go! Oh... btw. Its a $150 battery due to the venting system designed into it to vent fumes through a tube to the outside world. Thanks Cadillac!!! :(

Drivers seat in full recline position and will not

I would first check the fuse panel & see if fuse is burned out. The next thing I would check is the switch, wiggle it sideways, etc to see if the contacts are dirty. Last, these motors sometimes go bad, as mine did, so I got another seat for $50 at the wrecking yard & just exchanged it. There is also a slight possibility that the wire harness came unplugged under the seat or at the switch, but that is pretty remote. Rick
