I was fiddling with the fuses at lunch today, and when I started the car back up both lights were off and the servotronic was functioning just fine. I went back out again two hours later and the lights were back on and the servotronic was definitely not working. I needed a good amount of force to move the wheel in the parking lot.

I'm almost convinced that it's an electronic gremlin somewhere. Unfortunately the GT1 is saying "no communication" when plugged in!!!

Wonder if you have some loose fuses?

I would volunteer my GT1 but I won't have it until after Bimmerfest this Sunday.

When I checked the fuse blocks (front & rear) at lunch I didn't notice any that were loose. I took out and then replaced the fuses for the servotronic and airbags. But just because they appear to be in there tight doesn't mean that something connection wise isn't loose along the way from the fuse block.

I had it by my Indy this morning and they were getting a "no connection" from the GT1 (I assume that is what they were using). I hate that BMW daisy chains all the various "modules" together. It could be a huge pain in the ass to figure out exactly which one could be faulty.
