Default CRAZY e60 530i 2004 Steering, Cluster, Windshield Wipers, and Electrical Fault

Hi everyone. I’ve been dealing with these crazy electrical issues with my BMW E60 530i 2004. Randomly all these lights will turn on on the dashboard, windshield wipers go crazy (can’t turn off unless I turn off car), cruise control not working, “electrical fault” warning on idrive screen, active steering malfunction, servotronic malfunction, heavy steering, airbag light (I think may be something unrelated), cluster dials go crazy and turns off and on.
Car drives great while all this is happening but annoying to drive in the summer with windshield wipers going crazy 😅.
So far I have changed the SZL and clock spring (worked for a week but all issues back now.) I have checked the wiring for ABS pump, yaw rate sensor and active steering module. All look perfect and no corrosion. I have also tried a different DSC module
Starting to think maybe the battery? Or Wheel speed sensors?
Here are my codes. These are two different instances of my codes from different days after being cleared. Having a hard time guessing which one it could be or the one triggering all of them .
Any help would be great! Thank you

Show us the code list not the test plan list. Too much going on. I'm trying to understand why you changed the SZL and DSC?
