I think the technical term is 'befuddled'. The electronics are 'befuddled'. What you do when you PC acts like this is to turn it off and then back on.
Perhaps a hard boot would solve your problem. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, touch it to the positive terminal. Don't worry, if you did what was written as the negative post of the battery is not connected to anything. That reboots everything.
Been driving with the lights and wipers on? The car does not like a low voltage battery. Have it checked at an auto parts store. You might have a battery/alternator problem.

Edit: I figured mine out yesterday. Below the steering column, under the plastic cover, there is a bracket that holds the tilt mechanism in place. The two screws holding that in place were just slightly loose. I always wondered why my steering wheel would move up and down the slightest bit (only about 1/8", but bothered me) when I pushed up on it. Anyways, I tightened it ever so slightly, and it does not clunk up and down anymore, and the full electric tilt function works properly.
Be careful to not over tighten, it's VERY sensitive. It's hard to tell when you have gone too far because the screws are VERY tight to move. Try little adjustments until it feels right. If you over tighten, your tilt motor will labor, and I'm sure it will wear out quickly.
