2005 Audi A6 electrical problem

I'm still here too :-)

This is pretty much it. Open up the light cluster and get a good connection to the earth part of the metal links inside, then run that cable to a good earth. I'm not really in a position to get photos at the moment sorry, but I do remember that it was very clear from the connector which connection was failing and was therefore the earth.

If you really need a photo, I could probably get one on Thursday - if you need it, let me know by email ASAP, and send a reminder on Thursday morning

- got the memory if a sieve :-)

It's a problem of moisture!

Pull up the carpets on driver and passenger sides and check for damp.

I took the unit out, I took of the bulb section and the outer shell i put i n front of a blow dryer on low warm heat for 1hr. I sanded off the bulb con nectors and then sprayed a little WD40 on the earth. I let it all dry. Wipe d off the bulbs replaced them and put it all back in. I left it for an hour then I drove my car. Seems to be working without an issue. Dru

Well, good for you.

But what the hell are you talking about?

Fingers crossed that'll have it sorted then. Good luck!

It did solve the problem for a day or so but the light problem started again! I then changed the bulbs and now it's sorted. I looked at the old bulbs and they were corroded inside and although they would work intermittently that was the problem.
