Hello, 
The failure could be easily a wire fm the front electric esa motor. Check on that before anything else.

If the wiring is broken the damping should not be affected but it will not be possible to change modes.
As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
