Default Steering wheel tilt

My tilt has completely stopped, moves in and out, but no more up and down.

Any good threads, for 2nd gen GS300?
Thanks.

Your motor is most likely bad. Mine does the same thing right now. Drives me crazy. I have a new motor, haven't installed it yet. Mine goes in and out but not up and down. You can search but I also read some WD40 might work and a cleaning of the original one. I will try that first.
