Telescopic steering failure- Stuck, will not move..
Need some help with the telescopic feature.
Father in law was driving car and everything was fine. He got out and when he got back in the seats moved but the wheel did not.
It is an 04 with memory pkg. He told me that basically it just stopped working. Any ideas? He checked fuses but did not find any problems.

Tell him to do this procedure.

Telescoping Soft Stop Programming Procedure
- Turn ignition to ON, leaving the engine off.
- To set the telescoping in soft stop, press the telescoping COLUMN IN switch at least eight times or until the column moves.
- 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.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3, using the COLUMN OUT switch, to set the column out position soft stop.

Does the column move in and out with the manual switch? If not, check the blue 7-pin connector at the bottom of the driver's seat that connects the seat to the car. The pins get lose after some time. If you mess with that connector while pushing or pulling the manual switch and the column moves, you found your problem.
