I didn't see this.
So, I thought the indy had it fixed. I drove it over the week here and there and it was fine. I took out this am to get eggs and when I left the grocery store, the airbag light and seatbelt lights were on and the power steering was affected. As I pulled into my driveway 5 minutes later, the light like this (!) lights up in yellow on the dash and I take the groceries in. I read your post and saw some youtube videos so go back out to the X5. When I turned the key, the airbag and seatbelt light are gone but the (!) is still there and it says TRANSFAIL SAFE PROG... [EDIT] so I did the visor test, the visor lights turn on and no weird lights or electrical things occur, just the (!) on the dash. Shut car off, start it and there are no lights whatsoever. I'm leading towards the ignition switch. Going to call the indy tmw am and ask if they can cover me at all for anything and then I'll locate a new ignition switch and change it myself, and then it's going up for sale
