What could cause this? (Steering wheel tilt working & not)
My tilt function has never worked since the car was aquired, its a 1991 LS400. The other day when my battery cable came loose, and I twisted it back on, all of a sudden the wheel tilt function was working. It worked for about 30 mins, I kept testing it while i was driving, then it stopped again. Could it be a weak relay, that got jolted when I was reattaching the battery, are there any relays for the tilt, if so where r they located?
Thanks
Thanks

i ran into the same issue, mine worked since i purchased the car (93 ls400). then all of a sudden when i started having mechanical issues, suddenly the steering wheel wont drop. it telescopes, but wont drop. i can hear the motor, no grinding, or no issues, just acts like its hit a limit switch.

There is a known issue and documented fix for the steering wheel. It's an easy job where you basically shim the little gear with a piece of plastic. It's probably linked on these forums.

Mine was just the opposite. After no power (once changing battery, once changing alternator) my tilt stopped working for a short time and both times came back. Telescope, seats, and mirrors were not effected.
