Car is a 97 M3 with no previous electrical problems.
2 hours into driving back from the track in the rain my windshield wipers stopped working. After letting them sit in the off position for 15 minutes they fixed themselves and would work again for another 30 minutes before repeating the symptoms. I had a two hour session in the rain at the track with the windows down as well. The inside of the car remained fairly dry except the back seats and the B piller, but the cockpit was very humid.
The next day when I started my car at lunch the fuel gage was reading empty and the tank light was on. When I filled up after getting back from the track the previous night, there were no apparent problems. During this lunch startup there was also a "Brake Light Circuit" failure on the OBC. Both of these problems did not exist on my drive into work in the morning.
I am wondering if any of these problems are related, or if they are all independent.
Thanks
