X5 computer problems? Or electrical?

On my way home today I experienced a few problems. They were:

My automatic sensor wipers worked when I turned it one click up. It went at the same speed the whole time but this is the first time I seen the one click up work.

My suspension (arrows pointing up/down) was on. It seems to come on when there is 4-5 people in the suv and then turns off over time.

My stereo did not work when I tried the button (usually does).

I tried pushing the lock/unlock button on my key and it wouldn't lock/unlock.

I plugged in my code reader and nothing came up. It showed no errors. I have the peake research tool.

Do you think these problems are related and do you think its a computer or electrical problem?

Just replaced the altenator a few months back. Battery was replaced about 2 years ago.

Check it again jmweb. You almost certainly have a battery power problem.

Will have it checked out.

Oh, today the stereo came back on and everything worked fine. That was after it sit for probably 24 hours of no usage.

Check the fuse for the suspension.

Something I noticed when some of the above errors went away (except for the leveling thing) my wiper stopped working on the first click.

Checked a few fuses and All three fuses were good.


I actualy removed the rain sensor fuse since it wasn't working anyway and now my one click up on the windshield wiper works.
