help steering column

[JBrooke825]

Hello everyone , I have a question can i remove the drive motor for the telescoping
steering buy droping the front of the column down? I have power to the plug when
the switch is moved.so I guess the motor is bad. I have checked everything else
toggle to set the limit stops , blue plug, checked wires under seat. can hear the
scm click don't know what else it could be. thanks Jim

Yes it can,But you'll need to disable the SIR system first!

Any codes??
Just because it's has power,Don't mean it's bad.You need the do ALL the tests in the service manual!
I find grounding and connection problems on these cars more than I replace parts!~!!!

thanks, the motor came yesterday. I changed it this morning not to bad.
it came out on the left side of the column. the red wire coming off the motor
was burned rite off wir seemed to be pinched under the bracket. new motor went in
and it works . thanks for your help.
