Do a search on the subject. I believe if you move the wheel all the way out and then try the switch several more times that it resets and will extend a little more (or something to that effect). :cheers:

Yeah, all that, and if it's like other GM electronic glitches also try burning the entrails of small animals during a full moon at midnight. :yesnod:

Seriously though, good luck!

Just hit the switch 6 consecutive times in the same direction and it seems to reset the switch.

Thanks y'all for the information. Hit the switch 6 times and it resets....works like a charm, at least for now. Time to call the beloved dealer and cancel the warranty appointment. :flag

Sometimes it loses its calibration. Use this for future reference.
