Brake not Break...
I have a 2005 R52s. Since the day I bought it, I've had problems with the brake light and DSC light coming on at what first seemed random. After some testing I've been able to narrow it down to this:
If the ac compressor isn't on, the brake light will not come on. If I have the AC on at low speeds, like around town, the brake light will come on, followed about 45 seconds later by the DSC light. It's always in that order. If I get up to speed, or turn off the AC the Brake light will go off but the DSC light will not. If I'm running interstate speeds with the AC on I get no error lights. Confused yet? It get's better.
If I'm running interstate speeds with the AC on, and turn my windshield wipers on, they'll go up, then on the way back down they will slow, then stop. I have to wait a few minutes, to try and get them back down. If I don't have the AC on, they will work perfectly fine.
The headlights and or fog lights can sometimes cause the wiper failure as well.
And this is the handbrake light, not the brake wear sensor light.
The battery seems fine, even with a load I'm getting around 13v at the battery terminals, and at the battery terminal under the hood.
I'm pretty confused at this point, and don't know what else to try. Any Ideas?
