Steering wheel electronics......Help!!??

[carlfred]

My 2001 x5 3.0 's electronics in the steering wheel comes on and off every once in a while. When it goes off, the horn, radio controls, and cruise doesn't work...and the airbag light comes on. When it all comes back on, the airbag light goes back off, and all of the electronics work again.

What type of magic wand do I need to wave over this? Is it a loose connection with the telescopic wheel? I've checked the fuses, and I don't think it's one of the 2000 fuses.

Helllp

Thanks
