my tilt knob broke today. anyone have a tutorial on how to repair it?

 

broken tilt knob....it's a 2002 xkr

 

Can you be more specific please...Steering wheels tilt knob? Side view mirror tilt knob? Did it physically break off or did it stop working?

 

sorry...the knob for the steering wheel tilt broke completely off the left side of the column

 

Best bet is probably a switch replacement. It is a $70-or so dealer part, but here is a used one on ebay for $25 and free ship.

JAGUAR POWER TILT TELESCOPING STEERING WHEEL SWITCH LNA6465AA | eBay

 

how difficult is it to install?

 

I think it is pretty easy. Fully extend the steering wheel (assuming you still can). There are a couple of screws to release the lower steering cover. Then unplug the switch and depress the two retaining tangs to release it from the housing. Best to disconnect the battery first to be safe.

 

I have a couple of those knobs if you are interested.

 

You guys are awesome! I bought the switch off of ebay this morning that WhiteXKR directed me to. Thank you though.

 

that was the easiest repair so far. thanks guys.
