Hey guys, I too am having power seat problems and problems with the wheel. The seat wont move at all, it just clicks. It wont recline or incline either. The wheel wont tilt or telescope at all. It was doing what you described as "jogging" last week but now not even doing that. i have checked all fuses with an ohm meter that relate to those two things but they are fine. Any ideas on what to check? you mention control modules etc. where can i find this stuff to check before i send it to the mechanic.

Replace the control module on the driver's seat. Lots of threads on this topic.

It's possible that he motors which adjust the steering wheel have died. I cannot telescope my wheel any more, only up and down. The telescoping motor is broken so when I start the car or stop it the motor just runs and runs and runs. I finally disconnected them after setting the wheel where I want it.

I'd check the connections to see if something in the steering column has come loose.
