I have a small white plug that popped out when moving my seat front or back. It appears to screw in but is now stripped out and the seat will not move. has any one been sucessful getting the seat to move again? I can hear the motor hum and click if i hold the button.

I also lost this plug. The seat would not move. I removed the plug from the drivers side and put it in the passenger side and it worked fine. Now I need another plug. I have called the lexus dealer and parts guy said to come by and show him what I was talking about. I will let you know if I can buy just the white plug.

you could replace it with a used one from someone who's dismantling another 80 series Land Cruiser (the LX 450 is the same as the 96-97 Land Cruiser).

check the "parting out" section in the classifieds area of the IH8MUD site for a few rigs.

You need to go to the IH8MUD.COM forum and one of the folks there came up with a cure for the little white cap (that gets lost easily) otherwise you have to buy a new assembly ($$$) or you can strip the gears if the cap is missing. Give it a shot.
