Adjusting the steering wheel on a 1998 Toyota Corolla is easy. All you have to is find the latch at the bottom and push in to adjust the wheel.
No. That was not available until 1998.
under dash, below steering wheel
my dodge has the same problem, it is the power steering return hose being cracked or cut.
The fuse box on the Dodge Dakota Sport (1998 model) is to the left of the steering wheel and is accessible only when the drivers side door is open.
If the key is stuck in your 1998 Mazda 626, the steering wheel column may be locked. To remove the key, adjust the steering wheel and turn it clockwise to the proper position. Then try removing the key.
I corrected the problem on my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 by replacing the upper and lower ball joints.
I have a '97 Chrysler Cirrus it happens to sometimes. Try to turn the steering wheel back and forth as you turn the key.
You can adjust the steering box some. Or possible ball joint problems. If the problem is lurches and surges in the steering (can feel like loose idler arm, loose ball joints, etc.), one common cause is a faulty steering position sensor. This $60 sensor at the base of the steering column (inside the vehicle) tells the variable assist power steering how fast you are turning the steering wheel.
It is not adjustable.
Have you checked the steering wheel?
The headlight switch is to the left of the steering wheel. Up till 1998 you pull the knob, after you rotate the knob to turn the lights on.
