dseebran Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Does anyone know about this problem - specifically, what can go wrong and how to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Fuses can go wrong. Under the rear seat there will be a 30A fuse identified as PWR T&T. Also a 10A MEM T&T. I'm pretty sure there are a few trouble codes (DTCs) for tilt/telescoping and you can display your's this way http://www.caddyinfo.com/readingcodes.html You are most interested in "B" codes.

Ranger Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Probably an actuator. Better find a FSM first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louhodg Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Probably an actuator. Better find a FSM first. I just experienced something similar; the wheel telescopes, but does not tilt. What was the outcome of your situation? I'd be very interested in learning more. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Just encountered the same on my 05 Deville DHS...Told by dealer that I need actuator to the tune of 2500.00...Claims needs new column - did you find anything different? Appreciate it as it sounds sketchy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate it as it sounds sketchy.. I will assume that you are not under warranty. Just like going to the Dr...get a second opinion. Might be a good idea to get a Field Service Manual from e-bay or HELMINC. The actuator may be able to be replaced without having to replace the entire steering column. I don't know your mechanical abilities, but you may be able to do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 A new column? Yeah, I'd get a second opinion. That makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Alvarado Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 TRY THIS FIRST! I had the same problem but it was stuck in the lowest position and it made it difficult to get in and out of the car. TRY THIS.. while driving over bumps and the lane dots on the freeway, HOLD THE UP OR DOWN and see if it works. I did it and all of a sudden it started working again.
