easy fix. remove the knee knocker panel under the steering wheel and look for the white plastic star wheel with the cable attached to it. you might have a cable routing problem, or you might just need to adjust the star wheel to line it back up. if you remove it, pay very close attention to the arrangement of the 2 or 3 little pieces, or else it takes some thought to get it back together right. it baffled me for a few minutes.
