Steering Wheel Getting No Power

Hello all,

I recently purchased a 2006 s430 and there's a weird issue I just cant figure out. My steering wheel gets no power so my height or tilt adjustment don't work, turn signals horn multifunction buttons and the steering is heavy kind of like when the steering position sensor is faulty. All signs are pointing to the whole steering assembly not getting power but I just cant understand which part. I checked under the steering wheel and everything seemed to be plugged in and the pre fuse box under the passenger floor board looked fine. The power seats and speaker and everything else work and also the blinkers work if you press the hazards button.

My car is also in limp mode but I am getting codes for exhaust gas temp sensor, egr valve and speed sensor which may also be the issue. I have also converted from airmatic to coil overs and have a esp, srs and airmatic light.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
