SOURCE: Burning rubber smell inside car-2003 CTS Cadillac

Diagnosing this will be subject to a process of elimination. It could be the radio, blower motor or any other accessory particularly ones with moving parts; Try switching those off and try to note when this problem occurs and what is on/whatyou are doing. Something is getting hot causing the smell so it will be a situation where the accessory will have to run a while before doing it. It is a possibility that there is an electical curcuit overheating, but less likely. Lets rule out accessories first and give us an update. GL

My power seats will not move backwards or forward, but they will move up and down

Few different things could be causing this; Power seats have 3 or 4 little separate motors in the seat that spin little drive cables to the gear assembly to power the action you request (up/down, forward/backwards, (in some cases the up/down is separate for the front or rear of seat) recline, side wing panels, etc.). You didn't say if you could hear the motor for F&B running when you press the switch. If you don't hear it could be that motor for that action is fried or you have a bad spot in your control switch. If you do hear it run it could be that the drive cable is bad, or there is a stripped area in the gear mesh (if you hear it run, have you tried pushing in the seat at the same time in the same direction? That would show a stripped gear area). If you want to try fixing it yourself, do the "get out and get under" with a helper to start the diagnosis; put the seat all the way up then with flashlight in hand, look (and listen) under the seat while you have your helper work the switch. That's the best way to start and then go from there. Good luck! If you do find the problem requires parts go to a salvage yard and see if you can find a similar power base (seat can be reused) or if it's the switch you're best off getting it from the dealer or you can try an online place like this: RockAuto Parts Catalog

Should the engine be running when adding coolant to my 2003 cadillac cts

If you just drained it & are refilling,then yes,the engine
should run & warm up until the thermostat opens & you
keep adding.

If it isn't hot & circulating thru the entire system, you won't
get it close to full with the rad cap off

2003 Cadillac CTS won't start after disconnecting battery

Don't do that again! You will need to re-boot the on board computer system by entering a code. Call your nearest Cadillac dealer.

Seat will not go forward or back all other movements work can anybody help me

with all other movements working more than likely the forward reverse motor is bad
or possible bad switch test the switch first if it appears to be good replace motor or seat
being as u have to remove seat to be able to replace motor might be cheaper to get another seat out of a junk yard most junk yards wont sell u just the motor
so have two options buy new motor (probably dealer only item and expensive) or get a seat out junk yard(drawback to this is seat color might not match but seat covers are cheap)
