You have to pull (or was it push?) the turn signal lever and the steering wheel will move. I promise!

Yeah, just push the turn signal back towards the dash. It can be a bit of a bear (like mine), but it does work.

Great Thread!! Went out last night after work and was pleased to find out that I too have a tilt wheel.... <sheepish grin> LOL

btw, I push the turn signal stalk forward towards the dash.
