LCM messing around.
 

Hello!

So i just went outside to move the car to another parking lot.

Once i opened the car with the remote the left headlight turned on and stayed on... once i turned the key and fired it up it went apeshit and random lights started flashing ( low beam, high beam, turn signals and especially the instrumental cluster). On and on it threw me "washer fluid low". Now and then it suddenly changed to german.

The interior lights worked just fine, and the car was drivable.

I was thinking the LCM (its been below zero degrees for weeks now but it started thawing today so i was thinking water), but then why would it start with changing language and showing me that annoying "washer fluid low"?

I got a video. You dont have to worry about that CEL https://youtu.be/se7i92md1j4

Battery finally crapped out? Especially with the cold. When the batteries are done, all kinds of weird electrical things start happening. You monitor your voltage at all?

Other things that cause weird electrical gremlins include: ignition switch, faulty LCM (not common unless water intrudes), and faulty alternator.

Need to check vBat. That dips too low every crazy thing can happen including German.
