    Servotronic malfunction after it rained in my car

    After accidentally leaving sunroof open and it rained in my car, the servotronic malfunction indicator comes on and steering is tight on my 2009 BMW 528i. Can this be fixed by changing fuse or will I have to replace the servotronic sensor? Somebody help please.

    Could be you flooded your trunk. There are a bunch of modules under the spare tire. Likely one of them.

    Lift the right front floor carpet and see if the servotronic module is wet, it likely is if the sunroof was left open during a rainfall.
