Then hard for them to say it was because of a cracked housing. Get one if you can but if not don't sweat it .

Now my windows are working. Think I messed up somewhere with fuses.

I'm working in the dark. But everything seems fine

In for updates. I'm personally considering aftermarket lights and I am afraid of something like this happening.

Update 1: dealership has no idea what is causing it. Trying to blame it on my stereo system. I'm fighting it!

got the car back

it was my Brake light Switch
Part Number su00302490

could anyone tell me if that could have just been faulty? or caused from the tail lights ????

I have no idea but OP, you also had LED bulbs for interior lights?
i remember my doom light did not work when door is opened after i switched to LED for while. it worked for while but one day, Boom! it did not work. BCU was damaged. ever since then, i don't use LEDs for interior. I only use LEDs on exterior light such as headlight,brake, license plate light, etc. I don't fully understand why LEDs causing it but didnt want to risk it again. anyway, glad you got the parts fixed under warranty!

yes i have Interior LED's
in the trunk and the dome light

been on the car for almost 2 years, just weird im seeing this problem now
now that ive had this problem, i may just stick to regular bulbs in the Interior

I had a similar incident with LED bulbs.
I removed the dome LED, trunk & DRL bulbs before taking my car for it's first oil change. When I put them back in that's when my headlights would not go on. I had remembered reading another member had it's BCU fried because of the interior dome light. I can't remember specific details. I removed the LED dome & trunk bulbs and put the OEM bulbs back in. So far my headlights are fine now. Go figure huh.
