Question:

Turning signal, windshield wiper and air vent doesnt work in 1999 Audi A4 v6 2.8 Quattro?

About a week ago my turning signal windshield wiper would not work while I’m driving but when I wait 5 mins and restart the car it works again for a little while. (the caution/hazard signal works fine) This week my turning signal windshield wipers does not work at all and even when I try to restart the car several time but the hazard signal still works fine. In addition, I just noticed the air vent doesn’t work either so now I can’t even control the air flow into the cabin. I check the fuse it seems to be okay. Has anyone encounter this similar issue before. I have about 74K on the car.Thanks!

Answer:

this is a very common problem what you need is a new ignition switch not too expensive if you fix it before you burn up the starter. basicly the spring wears out in the ignition anddows not fully return to the on position causing there not to be full connection. normal symptoms are no signal lights working (some times break light wont work either) winshield wipers wont work, cruise controll may stop working intermittently. i would put alot of money on the ignition switch being replaced will fix everything. for more information try asking on Audi world
i've learned if when buying an Audi if you are planning to try it for long range of time, get an extended warrant
To fix it can't cost more than about 150 MAX, and you probably have a wire shortage somewhere, get it checked out to be sure.
