Wipers stopped working, then headlights and Lane Avoidance

[GalacticHero]

I have an M3 AWD with f/w 2019.20.1. This morning the wipers wouldn't activate via the screen or the turn signal button. They also wouldn't move into the Service Mode position. When I got to work I discovered the headlights weren't coming on. I leave them in Auto and they turn on when going into the parking garage. They didn't go on and wouldn't turn on when switched to On. Further, when I stopped parked I was getting a Lane Avoidance Limited warning. I tried several times resetting via the scroll wheels, but to no avail. When I went back to the car to go to an afternoon appointment, it had "healed" itself and everything is working again.

I've made an appointment at the service center, but don't expect there is much they can do if it's not actively exhibiting the problem, perhaps some diagnostics.

Has anyone else had a string of seemingly unrelated systems stop responding?

The only issue I noticed with the new FW (for me) was that slacker radio kept losing its signal, even with full LTE signal bars. I did a reboot and it seems to have resolved the issue.

Teslacam drive corrupted probably. Letting the car sleep might have fixed it. I would take out the drive, put it in a PC, and run a disk repair just in case.

It is often corrupted as evidenced by its icon displaying a red X. It has not done that this time, but it sounds like a good idea to check it anyway.

Could be one of the other computers. I was thinking the AP computer, but I would think manual wipers would still be possible.

Other than the two scroll wheel reset, the "Power Off" button, wait 5 minutes, restart with brake (or door open) reset is supposed to reset a few more things. It does seem to fix a few more problems than the normal reset. I suspect the power off works the same as letting the car shut itself off and go to sleep. So sometimes the car just starts working correctly after you leave it alone long enough, having basically reset itself.

BTW the Sentry drive was indeed corrupt again today <smh>

Thanks for the suggestion. At the risk of seeming dense, what is the "Power Off" button?
