Steering Wheel Stuck

[raider99]

The steering wheel telescopes in/out perfectly but the motor sounds very odd when i push button to move wheel down. it is stuck in the highest position. I went to garage and he says i need to replace the motor. He said it would be very expensive and he could try to find a used one.

It seems odd to me that the motor needs to be replaced since 'a' motor is working fine for in/out telescope. It just seems odd that the wheel would have a different motor for up/down and in/out.

Does this make sense? Any help would be great!!

yes,actually they are two motors. Both are expensive. and one much more than the other
