97 LS400 tilt and telescopic steering column
When it is warm out, the column will telescope out, but will not go up and down. Very annoying and makes me fell like I am driving a bus. I have seen the threads talking about the gear and adding a washer, but everything is in pristine condition. when it does work, there is no grinding or binding. I recently disconnected the plug on top of the motor. Now the memory setting for the seats does not work. It still goes in and out. Which I can live with. but I have a few other questions.
1. Does anyone know how to stop the problem? I don't care if it doesn't work at all. But is there a way to stop it and still have my memory seats work? Going to the dealer and having them change the codes will not work, that is 989 and up. They quit putting the override button on the column in 95 or 96.
2. Which wire do you disconnect to stop the in / out?
3. I there a way to confuse the ignition cylinder to make it see that there is a key in it all the time? I read somewhere that there is a tiny switch / button on the bottom of the cylinder that is completed when the key is inserted.
I know it is a lot to read, but any help is appreciated!!!!!
