Unhappy 2015 bmw 328i electrical problems

Hey guys, I have been having some problems with my car for a few weeks now. It just happened out of nowhere. Here are the various issues:

1. The inner tail lights are not turning on

2. The reverse camera and the sensors are not activating

3. The backseat windows are not going down

4. The heated seats for all the passengers besides the driver do not turn on

Any ideas would be appreciated

A chain of electrical problem usually related to a weak battery, how old is your battery? Dealer recommend to change it after 4 years.

You need to use an OBD diagnostic tool or ISTA/Rheingold to check the fault codes. If you didn't register the new battery you need to do that as well.

It might not be the same issue.

Have you made sure your window lock isn't set for the rear windows? The stuff going on in the trunk lid could be a fuse or a failing wire going into trunk lid. I'm not sure how our lids are wired, but many broke wires in the loom going to it from metal fatigue. Can't imagine that for your car yet...so I'm thinking and hoping it's just a fuse...and hopefully the same for your seat heaters.

Good luck figuring out the fuse diagram.

First idea that comes to mind is a blown fuse.

Second would be to look at a circuit diagram and see if all of those signals meet at a common connector or control module.

I have ordered a used Rear electronic module because ista said there were problems with it. Hopefully that fixes it 😅
