tilt and telescoping steering wheel issues
 

OK i have tried looking and searching. i am tired and i am hoping you can help me out...


i had an issue with my car... so i disconnected my battery... When i reconnected my battery.... the steering wheel won't adjust... :(

i hope you can help...

steps that i have done
1. Checked fuses
2. remove fuse and but back
3. Remove negative again battery..


i have a feeling its something so small but i can't figure it out... so any tips is highly appreciated thanks.

It won't adjust at all? Or just when the car starts up? How old is your battery? Did you try re-linking your key fob? There is a telescoping steering wheel setting in the setup menuas well.

Edit - from the owner's manual: "If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or the power tilt steering wheel fuse is removed, you need to reset the telescopic steering wheel system. Push the ignition switch for more than 1 second and release it, or insert the built-in key into the ignition switch, and remove it. The steering wheel automatically move fully in to let you know the system is reset."

I'm going with a new car battery... how old is yours?

I did those steps guys. :( my battery a 2yrs old. And I have no extra accessories. So dunno :(

Try cleaning the contacts and terminals. Even a little corrosion can do weird things to a car.

Are you saying it won't adjust using the button or won't adjust automatically when you start the engine?
If the latter, you have to reset your Driver memory setting after disconnecting the battery.

ok i did that too... i put the key in the ignition and nothing... i also pushed in the key and that didn't work... so :(

I'd say this is a dealer gig.

please confirm. You open the car door. Move the black knob facing on the side of the column facing the door in all 4 directions and the steering does not move in any of those 4 directions?

If that is correct and it does not move - please look at page 103 in your owner's manual for instructions how to turn it back on. (page 103 is from the online PDF manual and it looks like that is the actual page number in the paper manual).

Meril i will check this tomorrow... :)

Why you take the batt off in the first place??

well battery was taken off b/c it wouldn't start so i took the batt to charge it at Autozone. But my surprise the battery was good. and the issue was that i had a 10w amp blown... so replaced it and bam it turned right on...

meril...

the telescope settings are on... :(

Damn nothing works so far. Will be going to the dealer. :(

you did check the fuse for it - right?

Update!!!
 

yes i did check the fuse. took the fuse out put it back in... did everything lol...

all in all the Motor was fried... so called my warranty and took it to the dealer and they will be replacing the unit tomorrow...

in the mean time i am pimping a MDX 2011... :) loving it... :D

The motor was fried? That the first I have heard of that.

Thank goodness for extended warranty.

Yea I was thinking that a few weeks ago so I set my wheel not to move and its not bad. If you do a lot of stop and go driving its better for its motor
