Electric Steering Wheel Problem

[TooTall]

I have a 2004 LS430. The steering wheel will move up and down (tilt) but will not move in and out with the button on the left side of the steering wheel column. Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

There is a fix to this and it involves removing a "e" clip off of the motor. There are a couple of places here that go into greater detail. This is a no cost 30 minute fix. This is for the LS430's. Now the LS400's have a plastic gear that needs a spacer added behind the plastic gear.
