steering wheel adjustment/knob suddenly stopped working
The steering wheel on my 2008 Infiniti G37s used to adjust by moving a knob on the left side of the steering column ( up, down, in and out) to adjust for any driver, Now it is frozen where it is, will not move at all. I have checked the fuses, disconnected and reconnected the battery as a sort of reboot (suggestion from a friend). I really have no idea what else to try !! The book doesn't say a single word about this adjustment knob (just that it's there)) The dealership wanted to tear my whole dash apart, just to see if they could find a problem ($1500) with no guarantees !! Everyone sick of my obsession about fixing it. it has become a matter of principle.
Is this a good question?
It has been repaired (yes, by me) after lots of reading and searches. it turned out the knob was broken at its point of attachment on the steering wheel. I removed the steering wheel cowling and found the problem right away. I glued the knob back in place, replaced the cowling and it works like it was never broken. thank you !!
