tilit-a-way column

I guess it is fairly rare, but not enough to make it worth megabucks. I've now had three of these columns, and while they are simple enough in how they work, they do need to be adjusted properly. The factory shop manual is probably the best place to find the adjusting procedure. The main areas to check out are if the system has vacumn, and that the electrical signal from the second switch on the door post is being recieved. Other than that you have to make sure the cable from the vacumn motor that goes into the column is adjusted properly.

If need be I can scan the info from the Ford Shop Manual.

I have the column and not much else so I suppose I would have to manually move it out of the way.

you can reach the tab with your right foot if you know where it is to get it to swing away if you dont have all the parts for it to work normally
