Electrical steering wheel is not fully going up or down .

Hello ,

I have 2002 C320 .The electrical steering wheel is not going up or down .

I read a lot of helpful threads in this forum , but still have the same issue :
1- I am able to adjust the steering wheel in and out using the electrical switch

2- When trying to adjust it up or down , it is not going fully up or doing .
I have tried to synchronize it many times by doing :
"Run the steering column full down, and holding the switch down for about 10 seconds after it reaches the lowest position; then run it back up fully and hold the switch up for about 10 seconds after the column reaches its upper limit of travel. You may need to do this several times. That should reset the limits in the Halls’ Effect generator, and your column should function normally."

3- I know it is not an issue of motor or the plastic part ( checked in other threads ) as I do not hear any motor free spinning

Does anyone have any clue?

Hey guys i've tried everything for a S class No luck

Quick question does your motor make a noise when pushing the lever up or down?

Mine sound like something is spinning or churning when I move the lever up or down,
