Sometimes they will stop working and you need to push the in/out controll like 8 times in a row (the same direction) to get it to move again. When it does start moving let it continue to move untill it has hit the stop in that direction and then do the same thing in the reverse direction. This will recalibrate its limits.

The signal/power comes from the driver's seat connector which is blue, 7-pin. The connector's pins will loosen up over time and cause the telecoping steering wheel to stop working. Reseat the connector and see if it comes to life.

under the drivers seat is the connector as mentioned before sometimes just unplugging it and plugging it back in will resolve this issue-did for me a few weeks ago.....you also try doing a search for telescopic steering and there are a few pretty detailed threads to guide you.

Before you do anything else, try this:
Telescoping Steering Column Calibration
Try this as well.
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.
