My steering wheel doesn’t go in and out, moves up and down fine. It’s stuck in the “in” position. Can the motor be purchased separately other than going through Lexus, they quoted $1,500 without labor? I understand the function can be turned off, but I want to get it to the out position and then I might turn it off.

Or do I replace the whole steering column, then it would be the same issue, how to get the steering column without going through Lexus?

 

Looks like you can get a used steering column from a salvage yard from $100 to $200 on www.car-part.com
I’d go that route, and look for an independent to install.
maybe it’s just a loose wire or connector, or a system setting. I’d have a Lexus specialist confirm prior to moving forward with anything.
good luck!

 

Welcome to the forum. Do a forum search on this subject. There are several fixes including just pulling on the wheel while toggling switch.

 

Thanks, I’ll try pulling on the wheel while toggling and look into getting a steering column from a salvage yard through the link.

Happy Thanksgiving!
