Testing is difficult without accurate fault codes and diagnostic device, but here some pics to start (blind?) DIY

Get the fault codes read (by star!) before wasting money. If you replace it, You will need SAM coding anyway (not sure if similar car with similar equipments would go plug n play)...

I found the rear Sam for 140$ but I don't want to do it in UAE
the mechanics are Indian or Pakistani
Little English little Arabic and I'm lost between them

Besides never met one of them who is professional with the fault scanner

without star you are pissing in the wind. I doubt it is your rear sam thats faulty. All your symptoms lean towards a central gateway but it could be a rear sam. Either way they both need to be coded with star so star is the first thing you should find instead of parts.
