tilt wheel stopped working 2000 ls400
So i read about how you can put a washer in behind the gear, but the 98-00 have different mechanism. Mine is stuck in the up position. Weird becuase it worked fine when i parked the car, did some bodywork, and now it doesn twant to go down. Just makes a squeek when you press the down button...So the motor isnt dead since I hear it but..what could it be and can i fix it on the cheap?
|
ah, i see there is no cheap easy fix, ill have ot take it apart at some point and see whats up. danging, righ tbefore a 400 mile trip! going to be uncomfortable
|
if you want a temprory fix you can do what i did
mines wouldnt go down consistantly so i took it apart and took the gear out turned the shaft with a plier ( cant remember which way to go down )and set the height to my liking then unplugged the actual connector **its temp for now till i get some funds and find a new motor** i tried the washer trick but my motor is shot, it comes out and goes in fine but wont go up/down consistantly this will at least make driving more comfortable downside is if your tall/long legs its gonna suck to get out since the wheel wont tilt up gotta sacrafice one for the other ahaha |
what year is yours? apparently tjhe washer trick doesnt work for 99-00 as it has the newer design.
And yes getting in and out with it all the way down definitly sucks lol. but rather have it bad in/out than uncomfortable while doing a long drive. |
mines is a 96
rather roll outta the car than drive 400 miles **not tryin to be racial** [Mod edit] And yet..... Post edited, no racial slurs are tolerated at all. Only warning. [/Mod edit] |
ah yeah, u got the easy and cheap fix, 99-00, need a new motor apparantly. Will take it apart next week, no time for that today. got a show to be at tomorrow am!

Yeah I still have the old motor in my 98 and fixed it last year.

what did you do to fix it? photos? mine works ok but my wifes will only go down if I manually push the button down, in and out is ok. this motor was replaced 3 years ago (new) when I bought the car. the memory will not pull it down, works otherwise.

im going to open mine up and take a look as well! I knwo the motor works cuz i hear it squeek!
well see if my 00 is the same as yours., |
Pretty sure our 2000 is different than the one pictured. I don't think there is a easy fix.

1999 LS400 is much different. My up and down kind of works, telescope is dead. The wheel goes up fine, starting it comes partway down, then I have to jiggle the switch a few times to get it to come all the way down. Could I have a switch problem??
