I have a 1996 Lexus LS400 and my telescoping steering wheel has begun to stop repositioning itself when vehicle is turned off. It only returns slightly to original position and I have to keep turning the vehicle on and off until it completely returns to the upright position when off. How do I fix this problem?

Open the gear motor on the left hand side of the telelscopic assembly. Take the plate off held by 4 philips screws. Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolt holding the platic gear. Remove plastic gear and insert the reverse way. Over the years, one side of the gears get worn out.

slide the lower part of shifter handle down and you will find two screws, but there is 2 wires coming in from center console for overdrive button.you have to remove the center console cover and remove the 2 wires from connector and then pull up threw handle.when you go back together you will have to guide them back threw the handle.

Yes it would be perfectly ok to disegauge the auto switch to keep it from moving again. It needs a tilt motor replaced . not a easy job.

Not too bad. Not much room, just enough to drop the starter. It is probably easier to go up through exhaust if you can get your exhaust shield off the manifold .

I have a similar problem, except when I turn the car off the wheel goes to the normal position and when I start the car again, it won't telescope, but it only does this when I leave the car in the hot sun. After it cools during some driving, it slow will telescope back out if I keep trying the button.
