So I messed up… (SOLVED ANSWER IN REPLIES)
2003 Z4 E85 3.0
Came with an auto trans that blew up, I’ve already swapped the manual trans in with the manual harness, and removed the TCU.

I got too click happy before fully understanding what I was doing, and seemingly softbricked my DME

in INPA, I have accidentally cleared all adaptations, and error memory, unsure if this is

I have ncsexpert, NCSDummy, winkfp, and INPA loaded on my windows machine.
I have copied the proper PFL files I found on the forums so I have revtor’s expert mode, and the additional profiles available.
I also paid ncsexpert $25 for the e85 daten files (couldn’t find


I have deleted module $205 within ncsexpert (I believe this is the automatic transmission module)

I attempted to export the trace file from NCSdummy, for module EWS.C81
I opened this file in notepad++, confirmed my changes on EWS.C81.TRC and I thought I save it as a .MAN file.


I then opened up NCSEXPERT and attempted to write the file using the SG_CORDIEN action.

I received numerous errors through the process on NCSEXPERT, pertaining to “vin faulty”
I played w the k+dcan cable switch, confirmed I have ports bridged- and the order in which I selected the Selected the ZCU/chassis on ncsexpert.

Now when I turn my key, I have zero lights on the dash. My battery isn’t dead, it has 12.7 volts and on the trickle charger the whole time I was coding.
Passenger power seat works, drivers does not. I am able to hear relays clicking under the hood when I turn the key, and INPA recognizes battery and ignition on.

I seem to get intermittent power within the cab of the car- the key button press still unlock the vehicle, yesterday I was able to turn on the AC/Fan but today it doesn’t want to turn on.
 
Check the fuses (possibly the mega ones in the main fuseboard) and try a different battery. The electric seats don't give a hoot about anything beyond being fed power so if one's not working and the AC system is less alive than yesterday it just sounds like a power issue.
