My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
I got in my car to come home and none of the buttons on my steering wheel were working. Weird they worked perfectly this morning - any ideas?

Not sure why but I'm thinking reboot or reset, not fuse.
See if they work after the car has been alsleep for a while. If not, then maybe a battery disconnect then reconnect? Again, I'm just guessing here...

Let me see Rudy, is the reset: Key in the ignition (not started), press DVD and CD eject for 30 secs?

steering wheel module actually located in the steering wheel. Does the horn work? And the lights behind the buttons?
Be mindful of disconnecting the airbag if you have to go deep!
Hopefully Rudy's reset will do the trick

F28, 20 Amp, in the fuse block behind the glove box powers the steering column switch center which in turn powers the electronic

Damn, nice job OK
Thanks, I'll try the reset then the fuse. I couldn;t tell if the lights were on behind the buttons - it was still daylight here. Horn works
