Unhappy 99 LS400 Tilt Wheel problem

The Tilt and Retract function on the steering column has ceased to work. I can extend and retract the coulumn manually with the column switch but the Tilt function does not work at all. There is no sound when I try to tilt the wheel with the switch. Anyone have any advise.
Thanks

We will of course be easy on you since you are new -- but the search feature of this forum can often provide the detailed information you are looking for.

Here is a thread where I posted all the TSIBs regarding the tilt/telescope issues of the 1998-2000 LS400: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...highlight=tilt
