2014 GLK250BT (USA) diesel

My vehicle's Steering wheel adjustment motor no longer functions (up & down)Reluctant to visit Dealer ..vehicle no longer in warranty.
Question: Any other owners encountered similar problem? Unable to fuse location for motor during troubleshooting problem.
Cold weather in my area has generated fault codes such as empty window washer fluid when a tank is full.

Lots of posts here and on the W204 forum on the little piece in the steering adjust.
MB use conduction for level of the washer fluid not a float. Some fluids are not conductive enough to tell the electronics that there is fluid. Try a different brand next time. Lots of posts on this also.

You might want to try giving a couple good whacks on the top of the steering wheel, by hand, straight down on it, then try the adjuster.

If you get it unfrozen, you might want to disable the "Easy Access Entry/Exit" convenience function. It turns out to be an annoyance if/when your steering wheel adjuster goes bonkers.

Good luck.
