Default Tilt/Telescoping wheel has mind of its own - '02 S6

I've STFA and only found one article that helped but it said there is no known way to solve this. Wanted to see if anyone has found a fix. The wheel would always work perfectly - tilting up and in when I removed the key and then back to memory position when I turned the ignition on. Now it's totally sporadic. It moves a little, a lot, or sometimes not at all. It rarely goes to the correct memory position and almost never retracts up and in. Obviously not a big issue, but a minor annoyance. Thanks for any help!

I wonder if the on/off button on the side of the steering column has some issues.

There could be an issue with the steering column position sensors and/or their associated wiring.

I have had a similar issue for a while. It works fine and then somedays not at all. Never thought about the steering column position sensor. I will try to find that. If you come up with an answer before me please post and I will do the same
