Hey guys I appreciate your help. My 1999 A4 is messed up. When I turn on the key the abs light, brake light, and oil light come on and there is a warring beep or something. OH and the tacometer dropps off to nothing. Now the car runns fine. It shifts and drives nomal except for those lights and the tach. If anyone could please give some imput I'd appreciate it........

 

Check your fuses, sounds like you might have blown a whole lot of them. Have you been messing around with anything electrical in the car?

 

Sounds like you have a faulty abs control module and its messing with the can bus. Try unplugging your abs control module.

 

All those lights are supposed to go on when you turn on the car. They are however supposed to go off in two seconds.

If they stay on there is an electrical problem. Have you attached anything or done any aftermarket wiring?

 

find someone with a vag-com

 

does the tack work ok when your driving?? the other things are doing what they are supposed to do you only have a problem if they stay on all the time
