Default telescopic steering wheel help!!

hey guys so... my steering wheel motor is messed up right now.. i can adjust it forward and backward, but not up and down.. it is now stuck in its highest position and everytime i pull the switch down to adjust it to go lower, all i hear is a buzzing sound.. any ideas as to what the problem is and how i can fix it?

Maybe one of the little plastic gears wore out and isnt catching as it should...? Sorry I cant help any more than that, but just a guess.

There is a fix for that here on ClubLexus. Try searching for a write up that was very nicely put together by "Cip". It has full blown pictures and everything. I had the same problem with my SC when I first got it. I though I would have to spend alot of money to get that replaced but it had actually turned out to be a really simple fix.
