Question 2013 GS 350 rear sunshade issues

My rear sunshade won't go up or down and I'll just hear a whirring noise as the the motor (I assume) tries to move it. It seems to be off the rails. Is there a DIY way to fix this for an amateur? If not, I don't mind just unplugging the fuse for it - does anybody know where that is located?

You don't need to pull the fuse if you prefer to just not use the shade - just turn the shade Off on the center console.

I thought the button next to the shifter/drive-select was to move it up and down - is there way to use that to disable it entirely?

And fixed! I moved to reverse and then park to make sure the sunshade was in the 'up' position (based on the whirring/buzzing sounds) and then hit the sunshade button in the console to move it to the 'down' position. No more issues. Thanks a lot for the idea @bclexus !

Glad you found the right button. It's important to know where important buttons are located!
