asked by on December 18, 2015

The driver's seat on my cadillac will not roll back.

The switch on this seat is a multi-position switch and would need to be tested to see if it is sending power to the roll back motor. Depending on availability, the seat bottom is not serviceable and would need to be replaced as an assembly. I recommend getting a qualified technician to check the switch for proper output and repair as required.
