Help, steering wheel moves by itself!

Hello, while trying to adjust the driver adjustments one day, the car started to move the steering wheel by itself. The adjustment button on the side of the column does not work now, it just moves all around on its own. I seem to hear a relay clicking someplace under the dashboard, can anyone tell me what fuse to pull to stop this action and where the relay is to stop this from happening. Oh yeah, it doesnt shift into gear now, stuck in park I gather due to this issue, thanks Frank

Another possibility is turning the "memory" feature for the steering wheel off.
That adjusting "joystick" is also a knob as well. If you look at the side of it you can see that it has two dial stops that read "Auto" and "Off" (if memory serves, I can't run out to the car right now).
I was having problems once that a "hard reset" [disconnecting the negative strap on the battery and waiting a couple hours before reconnecting it] solved. However, before I had the time to do that reset I simply turned the knob to the off position.

did you figure out what was happening because mine just did that last night! Same thing, Cant get it out of Park and the steering wheel just goes up and down on its own. I did the hard reset, nothing changed. Then I hit the memory button to setting one, the steering wheel stopped moving but the tilt button no longer works and car still wont come out of park...

"Cant get it out of Park and the steering wheel just goes up and down on its own. I did the hard reset, nothing changed". I have the same issue. I checked the fuses related to the steering wheel and all looked good. I'm currently sticking a screwdriver in the hole next to the shifter to release the parking lock to shift.
