ABS/ESP light came on, multi contour seat pump started working?
Was slowing down to a red light last night and the dash lit up. Same time the PSE pump started working in over three months. Restarted the car, lights were still on and I couldn't get it out of park until I did the pen trick. Some of the air bladders leak and I was glad the pump stopped turning on, didn't think much of it.
Most people say it could be the brake light switch, some mention the battery. I never got a battery warning though. Will check the battery water levels if I can get some distilled water today.
Anyone else have something similar happen? I hope it's just a brake switch or battery and not some short. Happy Thanksgiving!

You can easy check the voltage on climatronic.
How old are alternator brushes?
Brake switch is easy to troubleshoot as well.
Start the car without touching brake pedal and then press the pedal.
Observe if the red lights come before or after.
