Hi

Just happened with my X300/94 that the steering wheel column does not move any more up. The motor for the reach works both ways, but the motor for the tilt only worked downwards until it reached the lowest position and now it does not move any more. How could I get it up? It is a bit tricky to drive when the steering wheel is down on my knees.

Any help is appreciated.

If the tilt is the lower exposed motor of the 2 ( other being the reach / extension motor ) it is very easy to get to

The main drag on the mechanism is the geared position sensor package on the cars fwd side of the moto

You can remove this sensor package and run the motor with a battery charger , the package pops off by hand with a large ear clip to disengage

High current arcing precautions

You'll drive the car with the rotary switch in the off position

The hardened grease inside the sensor gearing can be replaced to make it work more freely

It is important to note that as you reinstall the sensor package it is " clocked " relative to the tilt position of the steering column to work as a fully functional system

Not hard to do with the battery charger spinning the motor back and forth

 

Hi

Fixed. Thanks a lot for the help.
