Thanks everyone, as much as I have enjoyed the car the past couple of weeks I'm enjoying the community even more!

So after trying to beat the hell out of my steering wheel and SLU for over an hour without luck and a sleepless night since my car was parked outside with both windows more than half down it started up this morning like nothing ever happened.

First thing I did was drive it around for a few minutes, brought it into my garage. Put it in ACC mode and yanked the fuse! So hopefully problem resolved!

The fuse did not take me a few minutes like some, I had some stubborn clips and I found it easier to use 2 flat heads to lift the clips.

This video was extremely helpful and will definitely help any of you looking to remove the fuse:

I did call the dealer telling them about the issue and they stated they were confident it wasn't the new part and must be something else and to bring it in to have it looked at...no thanks!

Thank you all for the help, happy driving and please pull the fuse or get stressed out like I did.

Uh....that's another way to say they f'd up the installation...some junior mechanic chewed on a wire or something.
