3 Issues and I am stumped

R56 2008 Cooper S

The wipers work on start up for approx 30 seconds and then nothing, this includes all wiper/wash function. Motor test fine, wiring test ok, relays and fuses are good...any suggestions?
The brake warning light is on, fluid level sensor test fine, fuses are all good, seems to be the ebrake handle. The wiring seems fine. When testing if you add power to the wire it turns the light off, when you take away power from the wire the light goes on. Again fuses are good
Last issue neither the SPORT or DSC button on the center console work. Is there anyway to test these switches?

Could be tricky, Id tend to guess it’s some kind of module fault and nothing wrong with the wiring.
I once had a TPMS module shorting out the CAN causing all kinds of weird stuff.

How old is the battery? Weird electrical things happen on a Mini with a marginal battery.

Replaced the battery less than a month ago and is testing perfect. Not a battery issue
