Hey, did you do the visor test? open the visor and slide the vanity mirror open and see what happens. if the light doesn't come on, but other weird things happen on the dash then it's 99% your ignition switch. easy, cheap fix.
good luck! |

WTF
So indy just called. It appears that I must've somehow bent / damaged the cig lighter in the back of the console (for passengers to use) and this shorted my whole system. Anyways, he's got another part on order for it and i should have it back tomorrow and it SHOULD be ok, pending a test drive |

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 Last edited by Bouchedag84; 08-14-2016 at 11:54 AM. |

Start the vehicle, then turn on as many things you can that requires the ignition to be on to operate...then reach up and pull down the passenger sun visor and then open the mirror cover. If things start turning off/on...or start moving (interior lights, steering wheel, radio, horn, seats, etc).

As I said before, when that happened to me my ignition switch was going. It shut down on me eventually on the road while idling. It started back up, I drove it home and it shut down in the driveway. Next thing I know I was towing it to the dealer.

Follow up: I replaced the ignition switch and took it on a decent test drive. No weird lights or issues right now and hoping it stays that way
