The seats have several motors and the steering wheel has multiple motors. They share the same fuse, I've tried replacing the fuse with no improvement.

Could there be a bad relay somewhere, if so where is it? Could it also be a short in the seat wire harness? Would a short in the wire harness also make the steering wheel inoperable?

I highly doubt that all the motors in the seat and steering wheel went bad all at the same time.

I have a hard time believing that one relay could control all these motors (steering wheel x 2 + seat x 4 or 5). The only common junction is the power feed to the fuse or the fuse.
Sounds strange to me. Check that you have power to the common fuse, and/or that the wires are connectd properly and no oxidazion.
Sorry, that's all I can come up with. Any motor relay should be connected after the fuse, since they will be feeding the motors independantly.
Unfortunately have I not been able to fin a EWS (Electrical Wire Scheme) for the X5 on the net yet, so I'm out of other ideas..
Has anyone got that scheme??
