Default Telescopic steering stopped working...

Hey gang,

I have an 04 CE convertible and always use the memory seats etc......

My telescopic steering suddenly stopped working and now I have to take it in for repair. Anyone else have this problem or is it just my luck?

Thanks......

The memory thing is touchy in some cars. Memory settings will work fine in my 2000 and then I'll get in and nothing. I have to actually push the m,emory button for it to got into auto mode. Dumb question, but have you tried moving it with the button and not relying on memory?

The other immediate thought would be that its a fuse problem. Good luck

Thanks for the reply BB.

First thing I thought was the memory setting just isn't working so I tried just moving it with the button on the steering column but nothing.

Next thing I did was lookup the fuse box parameters and there doesn't seem to be a fuse for it.

Oh well........

Well Grumpy, I now have you and Y2K Vette Pilot to thank for the answer.

I followed his instructions and viola! It works!

I'm so happy I can cancel the dealer appt. (as I'm never comfortable handing them my vehicle).

Thanks again Grumpy.........

I am glad you got it fixed. This very same thing happened to me last year one week before going to Bowling Green. I was to say the least upset. I had no time to get it into the dealer before we left. So Patches came through for me and gave me the fix. You have to love this place. I wonder how much the dealers would want to fix it if the car was out of warranty.
