HELP NEEDED WITH STEERING WHEEL

[JOHN R MYERS]

I HAVE A LS 430....2003. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS GONE TO THE FULL UP POSITION AND WILL NOT GO DOWN.  ANYBODY EXPERIENCE THIS ? IS THERE A MANUAL RELEASE ??

When I bought my new 2001 Corvette, the driver's seat would automatically move all the way back and the steering wheel, all the way up. I disabled that feature because I knew that eventually the motors would wear out. With our Lexus, the dealership had to turn off features that we didn't want to activate, automatically. Maybe the dealership can do this for you. It could be that the steering wheel is not receiving a signal to go back to its set position. However, since the person in the above video had to replace the motor, there is a chance that yours is simply worn out.
