hurschel Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 I haven't been here for a while, but recently have a few gremlins show up on my LS. I don't drive the car much anymore although I really like the car. When I insert the key, the steering wheel will extend, but doesn't drop down. I can keep flicking the switch and it will only move occasionally, if it doesn't move, it makes no sound, keep hitting the switch and it will move a small amount once in a while. I think I remember reading about a loose plug or connection somewhere in the steering colum. Is it possibly a loose connection or maybe a dirty switch? I'd like to keep everything working on this great old car, maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What year is your car? You may want to read these threads. Good luck. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/690097-power-tilt-away-repair-how-to-tutorial.html http://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-1st-gen-1992-2000/49783-tilt-steering-repair.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurschel Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 '97, Thanks, I found those two threads, but that's not my problem. It makes no noise, no grinding no motor sound at all. If I keep hitting the switch, the motor will start and the wheel will move, have to keep hitting the switch to get it to move a little at a time. I'm beginning to think the contacts in the switch are dirty and I haven't found any info on how to get the switch apart to clean the contacts.
