I'm trying to replace the Electric Telescoping tilt switch on my 08 Yukon Denali. Problem is the dealership is saying my VIN says that my truck isn't equipped with this feature and claims they cant help. Anybody else have this issue and how to get around it? My Truck is Definitely a Denali and Definitely had the electric telescoping steering column and tilt wheel... So Frustrated because I hate the position my Steering wheel is stuck in right now!!!

Welcome to the forum. Has the column been switched or have you had it since new? All that needs to be done is look up for a model/rig with what you want and sell the damn thing to you, right?

are you sure it is the switch? have you confirmed it has power and works when the switch is bypased?
i would presume you could check for functionality by pressing mem 1 or 2 for any previously saved positions

Stuck in the house too! Still recovering from surgery and got a cold which always turns into bronchitis. Happy Happy!
eat some meat a lot of it you will, recover quicker.. I sliced my finger down to the bone and it healed perfectly even the finger print was fully restored.. like new condition no surface scar

Maybe you can try the reset/syncronize/calibrate procedure? Dicsonect negative battery, 10 minutes, reconnect battery/apply parking brake/excerise seat to rear position, hold 5 seconds, try tilt switch in all directions. Back to normal operation. May not work on your vehicle. Where are you located?
