Steering have a guibo or something that would wear out? Couldn't find any parts for that from TMS or ECS.

I believe so. I thought we had a thread on it. Try here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?p=13077875

Did your car start when you got rear ended? I remember my radio was still playing when I had my accident. I don't remember trying to restart it. There's the BST, or Battery Safety Terminal, that explodes in the event of a crash That must be replaced

Awesome thanks Shawn.

If I'm replacing the reservoir how much fluid should I pick up?

Maybe it is my trunk latch switch that is bad then. After pressing it a numerous amount of times, it started working. Maybe it has something to do with the cold weather.

I replaced the steering couplter/guibo with an AKG unit.

Didn't know they made one! How you like it?

I think 2 bottles of ATF is what I used.

Ohhhh found it Vas. It's Aluminum or Poly 75D and recommended for race vehicles only. (Unless you got a 90A version and they are just out of stock)

Gonna need some feedback before plunging into that as I want to retain some normal drivability on the car.
