SolvedTruck will not start, unless steering wheel is in the lowest position
Ford F-150 2010 5.4l 59000 miles
Unless I tilt my steering wheel down to the lowest position my truck will not start. I turn the key all gauges light up as normal, it will not crank. I lower the the steering wheel and it starts, no problem

Sounds like an issue with your shifter. Is it wobbly/loose? There are two torx head bolts that hold it on the column, and if those are loose you can experience the symptoms you have right now.

Had similar problem, turned out to be frayed wires from using the tilt steering over and over for 6yrs
