Car was working perfectly till I left her sit for vacation at home for a week. Came back to multiple errors of lights not working correctly and problems. Received these codes, already googled them all. All turn signal bulbs are lighting up correctly and there's one bulb for the brake light on the driver side that doesn't illuminate unless the brake pedal is pressed. Any suggestions to what's randomly throwing these codes, again all the bulb are working on the car. Car is a 2008 BMW 328i with halogen lights, all still factory OEM

Have you checked you battery that it's holding a proper charge?

Sure. But what Wolf is saying is that perhaps your battery has depleted somewhat over the week your car sat undriven.

A week really isn’t that long, so you certainly shouldn’t be returning to a low battery, but it’s still worth a quick check.

Battery tested fine at nation tire and battery still in the green. They scanned the codes for me and they popped up the same thing. Now today randomly when I started my car it was fine for about 2 mins sitting cooling off from the heat outside and then within 30 seconds driving the light errors came on. But the turn signal and left driver brake light worked well for a good 30 seconds driving. Any other deviations before I pay for the dealership or indy shop to help

just an update. Car lights acted fine for 30 minutes driving to my dealer but then they went off again. The dealership said they couldn't get the lights to pop up on thursday afternoon; so I told them to take it off and it will act up. Haven't heard back since, any other suggestions?
