Default Telescope Strg Not Working

I just discovered the telescope feature on my strg column is not working. Has anyone on here diagnosed and repaired? I’m not finding much help on U tube, etc.

Others may know better, but what I remember reading on the CF previously (i think) is the wiring connector under the drivers seat also is for the Telescoping SW. Might jiggle the connector to see if it works. Also, fuses may be in play.

Interesting, .... I’ve had my seat out recently to replace the foam. I’ll need to check the connections.

Yeah if you had the seat out, check the plug. I'd bet that's it.

Bingo! After you first response I stuck my hand under the seat and found the small connector unplugged. Jeez.... what a stupid mistake. I need to take the seat loose to connect, but I’m 99% sure that’s it. Thank you so much for responding! Glad I didn’t start tearing the strg column apart! Ha! God bless you!!!

I did it too when I pulled the seats and carpet for my stereo install. haha

Try and lift the seat all the way up and forward you may be able to get it without removal.
