Yes, set the mount to guide speed, then activate each Dec and RA relay in turn, while doing a visual check on a starfield that things are actually moving.

While gears and motors can turn, if you have a slipping clutch, binding shaft, whatever, not much will happen at the business end.

No movement means the problem is with the mount.
