1990 Ford F250 Tilt Steering issue

Greeting all,

I am new to this site. I recently bought a 1990Ford F250 4X4 with tilt wheel. The ignition lock actuator was broken off insidethe column. I took it apart and replaced the broken actuator but cannot get thetilt steering to release. It didn’t work before I bought the truck either. Anyidea how the tilt wheel releases so I can use the tilt feature? Does it releasewith the small lever under the column? Any help would be much appreciated,thanks

To tilt the steering wheel, you pull on the small lever (looks like a smaller turn lever) or on some models you push forward on the turn signal lever.

Ok, so it is the turn signal lever, and it now works. I would have never assumed that the tilt was from the turn signal lever. Thanks for the info.
