Default 2018 3.0D with electrical problems keyless, interior lights, sun shade

I have problems with my 2018 discovery.
  1. Keyless works to lock the car (pressing on the indent of the handle) but in order to open the car I need to hold the key pressed to one of the back side windows and grab the handle. Buttons on fob are working fine.
  2. Interior lights over driver and passenger seats does not respond to the touch and can’t be turned on, the same with the buttons to the mid row reading lights. Light in the upper glove box is also off. Lights works when opening a door (but I think it could be a separate bulb).
  3. The buttons to the sun shades in the roof are not smooth and it’s a lot of pressing and shade move short and stop to open and close them. The same issue with both buttons.

Is this anyone has an idea where to start? Did check the two keyless fuses but they are fine. Also changed the 2032 batteries in the two fobs.

I'm having multiple problems with my 2018 too.. Almost ready to sell it. The electrical glitches are really annoying. Car locks sporadic functionality is one of them.

Check main battery age.

If over 3 years old, change it.

Electrical gremlins start with weak battery. ( but AutoZone says its good! NO NO NO)

After new battery.

Check all grounds, there are multiple.

Remove the nuts and clean and inspect them.
