2005 XC90 Crazyness. Brake Lights on, Brake Failure, etc
Hello, i have this 2005 2.5T XC90, and i have one hell of a problem, well for me it is.
Driving it yesterday, all of a sudden it showed brake failure stop safely, the ABS light lit, check engine, oil logo lit as well, odometer going all to dashes ---- and then, the RPM and speed gauge not working. The car still worked, but in kind of a limp mode where it felt with no kick. It was raining here yesterday and there was a lot of watter 'puddles' ? im french.. in the street, so lots of water going under the xc90.
Anyhow, i came here and searched online, some references to the CEM, some to the TCM, DCM or DEM.. But i couldn't find a clear answer, i still don't know what happened. My xc90 had the redesigned plenum installed 2 years ago all sealed with sillicon, and the CEM cleaned, connectors greased, corrosion cleaned and everything. I checked, no water came in there yesterday. it's all dry.
What i did yesterday night, is to remove the car's negative side of the battery. Somehow, after resting for the night, all started OK this morning. Did something dry up ? IDK. But what i know, is that i have another problem now, the 3 back brake lights are always on. Each sides, and the middle one, all lit.
I tought after a bit of research it could be the REM, which seems to control the back lights. So i pulled that off, tested the relays with a small 12VDC power supply, BAD IDEA. I burned some small SMD diodes, which i just ordered from digikey, lucky enough that i have some microscope here, and i hope it didn't fry much more on it. I'm in a middle in a nightmare, well for me it is.
So the car is pretty much undrivable because no brake lights right now, and it's my wife's daily driver. I ordered a Dice from china right away to be able to find out a bit more about the problem, found some wiring diagrams.. Hell, i got not much time to figure that one out, but i need to !!!
Any help or input would be really appreciated, i can pay if someone can give me a few tips even to walk me through this. I'll fix the REM hope i didn't break more stuff tomorrow, but still need to find out that 3 brake lights issue, and what the hell happened with the xc90 yesterday. thanks !!!

Um, i just replaced the 2 burned out smt diodes on the board (that i burned myself with incorrect testing), and put everything back in place.. everything works now, i don't get it. i hope vida with dice will shed some light on the actual issue that happened, because now everything seems to work fine. I have a bad feeling issue is just intermittent and not fixed now, so i still need to figure out what happened.
