2003 525I Electrical Issue?

Asked by Fluffy95 Apr 22, 2020 at 08:50 AM about the 2003 BMW 5 Series 525i Sedan RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

A few months ago my radio shut off. I took the fuses out in
the trunk & popped them back in hoping that would fix it. It
came back on. Things have progressively gotten worse,
one thing after another. The stereo randomly shuts off, I
have to turn it back on. Then the buttons on my steering
wheel quit working completely. The brake light & traction
control light came on. No seatbelt/airbag light comes on
sometimes. The steering wheel is now moving on it's own
all the time up & down. Along with all the lights inside the
car come on as well. I have not read my manual yet but
plan to. Any thoughts as to what this could be? Fuses or
actual wiring issue? Please help!

Also, my wipers are sticking too. Stops at any point of the windshield. I have to continuously hit the wiper knob down until they're at a safe point for me to see while driving.
