2005 C230 Kompressor "glitch" question

My car seems to have a mind of its own regarding a few things:

The ambient temperature reading on the dash never reads what the actual temperature is. Some days it's -40, others it goes up/down right before me. I have changed out the probe, so that's not it.

Some days I get a message stating that my passenger side mirror signal lights aren't working, then some days they work.

Same as above with one of my license plate lights.

My question is, is there some type of "relay" that could be causing this??

Thank you for any help!!

the side mirror code be some corrosion on the led strip connector. Had the same problem. Fixed it with some light sanding and been working with out issue for almost a month with out getting the error. check the license plate connectors too.

finally traced a problem in the turn signal repeater in my mirror to crud in the connector in the door. Remove the mirror from the door and there's a connector behind the seal. Unplug that and hit it with a little contact cleaner, like from Radio Shack.
