Hey guys, I have a question to ask in reference to my low beam lights.

Last night I went to turn on my headlights and they wouldnt power on.
Fuses look good as well as the bulbs.
My parking lights work, If I press forward on the high beam lever the high beams turn on.

Now without my headlights turning on my Rear fogs dont turn on. Also theres another switch that I would presume are city lights and are probably switched on when my headlights are on. Those dont work either.

I took apart the steering wheel to get to the switch which did seem kinda grimey and dirty. I used some electrical cleaner stuff to clean it up and bit which didnt seem to fix the problem. I searched around and read that these switches are known to be problematic.

guess I need a new switch? If so does anyone know of a reasonably priced website that sells audi parts?
similiar to hondautomotiveparts.com?

thanks all

Also, the little green image on my dash board bythe RPMS does turn on when I put on the parking lights.

 

Chaos,. I found that link last night while searching and was able to use that as reference this morning to take off the switch to no avail.

 

if cleaning and sanding it didn't work you have to buy a new one. check the sponsors on the site for good parts sites. purems usually has pretty good prices

 

yeah it was the switch
