steering wheel and easy entry problem
This morning my steering wheel didn't feel like moving
(it's stuck in the bottom position) and does not
go up to exit the car
The steering wheel moves forward and back but not up and down...
dammit
I hear the motor trying to adjust but no movement
Soo I turned off the easy entry option soo the motor don't burn out
What up with it????

I'll check the harness... but I don't think thats it, cause
every thing else works fine.
I have disable the easy entry fonction to not burn the motor of the
steering wheel adjustment.

When the motor is running, does it sound like it's straining? Maybe something jammed in there?
Or, if it sounds like it's free-wheeling, maybe the motor became disconnected somehow?

I have the same issue. I checked the cables under my seat and all fastners are secure.My problem is that I cant turn the cluster option on. Its stuck in the off position. The +/- steering wheel buttons do not toggle from off to on.

I cant change the Easy Entry feature to ON My steering wheel only goes in and out. The only way to move the seat is with the door panel controls

Update: FIXED!
$11 part and $450 in labor. Thank goodness for the warranty. My coupler in the steering column motor area snapped.

I just had this problem myself. I was able to replace the coupling if anyone needs help getting to it I could write how. You have to remove the bottom part of the dash to get to it and it take awhile to do but its not to bad.

The computer times out and shuts off the easy entry function when a position is not achievable within a certain amount of time. This is why the easy entry function stops.

health services, to get to it I completely droped the steering wheel all the way then got to the part from the top.
look at this https://mbworld.org/forums/audio-ele...e-up-down.html
There are 4 bolts, two on each side of the steering wheel attached to a metal plate that you get to from the bottom. Then there is a large bolt that you remove from the side of the steering column. Once you do that the steering wheel should fall down. and you will have access to the part.
