Power Telescopic Question
I believe my power telescopic switch has failed.
I adjusted it all the way out to clean the column, but it will not retract. I can hear a audible sound when I try the "out" direction, but nothing on the "in" position. How hard is the switch to replace? Should I check anything else first? How much is the switch?

Try the following first. HTH 
Telescoping Steering Column Calibration
Telescoping Soft Stops
After replacement of the seat control module, it is necessary to program the telescoping soft stops. Each soft stop is a programmable end of travel that is set approximately 1.3 cm (0.5 inch) from the mechanical end of travel. The steering column has a soft stop set at each end of the telescoping in/out movement. The system uses soft stops to prevent wear on the system by ensuring that the steering column movement stops before it reaches its mechanical end of travel in any direction. The soft stops are initially programmed at the factory. The stop positions may be reprogrammed, which is necessary any time the seat control module is replaced, as described in the following procedure.
Telescoping Soft Stop Programming Procedure
1] Turn ignition to ON, leaving the engine off.
2] To set the telescoping in soft stop, press the telescoping COLUMN IN switch at least eight times or until the column moves.
3] Press the telescoping COLUMN IN switch and hold the switch until the column travels all the way in, and continue to hold the switch about a second after motion stops at the mechanical end of travel. The soft stop for the column in position is now set. The seat control module automatically goes back to the normal mode of operation.
4] Repeat steps 2 and 3, using the COLUMN OUT switch, to set the column out position soft stop.

I tried it but no luck.
So I checked codes. It shows SCM B28060 HC. I recently got the car back from the dealer for a column lock problem. The K harness was not at fault, but they replaced the BCM and an ignition module located just above the BCM in the passenger floorboard. Would this affect the telescopic column?

Well B2860 HC reads "Telescopic Column Position Sensor Failure" Where is that located and how much is it?
Also, I found another code B0367 H that is RT actuator feedback open. What is that and how do I fix it?
