Best Answer

Check the Power Seat Switch first to make sure it is working.

Next use a test light to make sure the switch is getting power.

It could be that the gears under the seat that move the seat are stripped.

If the gears are stripped I would take the whole seat out of the Car and replace the Frame that the Seat bolts on to and the Gear Box is attached to the frame also.

I did not have no luck trying to replace the Gear Box by itself.

helminc.com makes Service Manuals for many Auto's and it is worth the investment if you are planning to keep your car and these Service Manuals are just like the ones at the Dealership's.

What is wrong with the drivers electric seat work on my 1979 cadillac deville?

Check the Power Seat Control Switch first to see if it is defective and then use a test light to see if it is getting power to the switch. The Gears that move the seat can break and the seat will not move at all and you will hear a noise. If the gears are stripped I would recommend taking the whole seat out and you can take the seat off the frame which holds the seat and gears and go to a Salvage Yard and purchase the seat frame with the Power Seat gear box and wires all intact. I had a mess trying to repair just the gears.
