My T800 has a boot and I can't find a way to make it tilt.. Can't even feel a knuckle in it..

I've also had it not set one time and only way I could get it back was to stab the brake pedal, then it would set again.

I think there is a problem with the wire on the brake switch. that's gona be fun to track down
I have similar problems with the cruise in the company volvo,....Seems the problem with mine is in the switch at the clutch peddle,..Sometimes I have to lift up on the clutch peddle with my foot to reset the cruise,....

Pharm that is your tilt-tel pedal.Mine is firm on my W9 but I've had the cover off and it has a strong spring on it
