Quick Question About The Telescopic Steering Wheel Motor

[jpjsavage]

Can I check something with the good folk here. The steering wheel on my LS400 goes up and down but not in and out. What is puzzling me is that there is no noise at all from the motor when you push the lever. So, many of the posts I have found so far show you have to adjust the cog with a washer or two to realign the teeth.

With mine, I'm guessing that there is either no power getting to the motor or the motor itself is dead? Is that right?

Is there a fuse I can check somewhere? I've looked in both the engine bay and door well (drivers side) boxes but can't find a fuse that is for these motors? Is it somewhere else?

Thanks for your help.
