Yes it was your posts here that got me thinking about it. I will check if the FSU is warm when I start my diagnostic work.

Anyone that could possibly verify if their X turns on the AC on startup even if it was shut off the last time it was used?

Rear OS tail light has no voltage (black/blue wire) while other side is fine!!
I think at this point my X goes to sleep, at least the light by the shifter goes off and was off the few times I checked randomly.

I do have a license plate light warning since I put LED's there, even with monitoring coded off.
