This is one option on my C6 that I never use. I just leave it in the postion closest to the dash.

My dealer had to order a new switch and I'm having it replaced next week.

Did the memory recall still work?

Maybe a fuse or wire. Check the manual for fuse # and location. Sounds like it may be a trip to the dealer....

Then it probably isn't the switch. The switch is only used for manually moving the wheel. More likely it is a motor or wiring fault, and your dealer is chasing the wrong problem.

A Chevy dealer that doesn't know the C6 inside and out? Can't be.

took it to dealer Monday and picked it up on Wed when I returned from busness trip. System worked fine and they could find nothing wrong. I did a final try before I left it and it was totally dead. Damned if I know what went wrong but it works fine now.
