Default Telescoping Steering column

Just purchased a new to me 2000 C5. Everything appears to work just fine except the telescoping steering column. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks in advance, "pear"

Do a search on here.

And you might tell us what the column is or isn't doing.

Check the blue 7-pin connector at the bottom of the driver's seat where the seat connects to the car. That is the power and position feedback for the telescoping steering wheel.

it may need re-indexed...move to the front position as far as it will go. Then push the forward control on/off at least 8 times and the column should then move to the full front position, do the same in the rear direction. Its an easy fix if it works!
