Whenever you have more than one failed gadget, it speaks of a common problem. there is most likely a small fuse box with large current fuses under the hood and a larger fuse box with many low current fuses inside the car up under the dashboard or thereabouts. an owners manual will show you where they are. i think you are going to find that one of the large fuses is either blown or just plain gone as a prior owner got tired of messing with it. so you are going to have to figure out which of the many small fuses are in the circuit with the missing/gone large fuse and pull all of those out. if you scroll through these questions you will see a pattern of luxury car complaints around the issues of the airbag suspensions, the anti-theft/door lock stuff, and the heated seats. These things are made to get to the standard three year trade-in and not much further. So i would suspect and disable all that then put the large fuse in and start reconnecting things one by one until the fuse blows again and then permanently disable that last thing. you may well find it is the airbag suspension, and your ride is now buckboard.
good luck with that!

Can a pcm kill all power to the car

No, the Powertrain Control Module only does powertrain, but can prevent starting.

Lights and locks are the domain of the Body Control Module. Having said that, your Cadillac has dozens of large and small modules.

Check the fuses,

Why are my power windows, mirrors, locks and pre set seat settings not working on my 2001 cadillac seville

Most of the time (90%) it the fuse. Check the fuse box under the hood and the other under the back seat. Check the owners manual to determine which fuse corresponds to the seat settings and which ones corresponds to the windows. There are also spare fuses supplied in the fuse box under the front hood - passenger side. You can use these spare fuses, just make sure the fuse number matches the one you are replacing. Use the white fuse removal clip to remove the fuse and check it under the light - if it appears that the fuse element is burned or broken then it has to be replaced. Hope this helps.
