Default Steering Column Help

So drove my Jag to work today steering adjusted itself for me just like every day, then get in to leave work and nothing, switch in either position does not work, no clicking sound like the motor is shot, the fuse in the rear footwell #8 for the switch and the driver seat switch pack is good. Memory button will move the seat but no wheel. Is there a module or a relay or something controlling this or some other place I should look into? Doubt the motors just crapped out with no warning whatsoever.

Nobody ever told you the cats are vindictive!? What did you do to **** it off? They need to be sweet talked once in a while, fed good, petted.....mine was spanked by my wife once (not the XJ, the real one!), and he promptly took a dump in her shoe. You should've seen the look on my wife's face!

this is why i just leave my steering wheel completely in the "out" position because I'm 6'4 235 so I already have to slide and roll out the car as it is lol...thats the only thing about this car...they should hve made them so us tall big guys could easily enter and exit instead of falling in and then grabbing on the roof and turning an sliding and pulling our azzes out lol

I am 6'3" and 195lb,....I don't have these issues! LOL

I need the wheel to move,....my legs are longer than my thorso, so I sit partially behind the B pillar (needless to say, not much room behind me even it's a VDP,....but nobody EVER sat in the back anyway!).

Since I am the only driver, my seat is stationary (where I need it), and the wheel moves on auto.

i sit with the seat like you..nobody sits behind me either...just my knees hit the steering wheel when its retracted when you take the key out...so its easier for me to get in and out the other way...maybe its just how i get out lol...im 37 not 17 haha

I have the opposite problems I'm like 5'9" and like 350 hahaha someone had told me stop using it because its a common problem but honestly, that to me sucks its a cool feature of the car that I bought so why not use it right if it breaks ill fix it with the help of my Jaguar Friends at Jaguar forums and my wrenching skills.
