Tilt and Telescope function stop working

[menancyandsam]

They both stopped working at the same time.
I've checked the fuse in the passenger kick panel, all good.
What's my next step.

the motors are probably tired and worn out. it's a pretty big job to replace them, but it is a DIY -able job

Would both go out at the same time?

If both are out at the same time, I'd check for continuity on the switch.
Otherwise, check the screws, motors, and slider/bushings.
I had to replace the slider, bushing, and the retainer for the telescoping functionality.

So where do I check for continuity, I do have a volt meter. The back ends of the red and white wires show about 4 volts. I've randomly tried continuity testing the back but don't know what I'm doing.

I see nothing moving in the streeing column

Thanks for that thread.
Both my motors (tilt & telescope) stoped at the same time.
The fuse was good, so I'm thinking it's probably the switch on the column.
Does that seem right?

Unplug switch, jump appropriate wires on the harness then you'll know if the motor is working. If they do, replace switch.

Do you know how to unplug wires from this connector
