I guess question is, does anyone know where FUSE 44 sits?

Mango,
My guess... under the front glovebox... (still looking)
The chart in the back of our 2012 X5 50i shows about 5 fuses... 44 IS NOT one of them... Definitely NOT 44.
(Fuse chart: right rear access panel, tucked Rt. side of the FUSE box).
Something like 12, 15, blah, blah, 134... (!! Steering wheel symbol)
40 years of electronics EXPERIENCE** & I'm thinking disconnecting the Negative battery terminal AND-THEN... and only THEN... "momentarily" ground the Positive terminal is the definitive way to go... with exploding AIR-BAGS/anything.
**EXPERIENCE: Only minor explosions... and no serious ones right in my face
I'm just saying.
Anybody have ANY idea what size tool to use on the three HEX-HEAD screws I am looking at on the reverse side of my steering wheel??
Pretty please?
