So far, i have made it to a Napa in Rapid City south Dakota... I was able to pick up a 12v test light, tested the bulbs they arent getting any power.. switched out the fuse to see if that was the problem. that wasnt it. So I am sure its the headlight switch. I have managed to make my way up to Montana right now. only 8 more hours of driving till im home to seattle. So I have been sticking to daylight driving, and when I have to drive at night. I have to hold high beams on, and that pisses people off a lot..

 

ouch, good luck!

 

How many watts bulb ? might not be standart bulb.

If its high watt bulb then you blown the switch.

Check the watts.

Hey man just hope you make it alright. I would hate to be in your pulling the signal toward you while driving the whole way. Hope you get it sorted out.

 

I Ran into the same problem how did you end up fixing it?

 

holy crap, I was confused there for a second with Redgoat saying he's new to audis, until i looked at the original thread date "12/30/2004" :P

 

hey guys..i had the same problem 3 weeks ago...it was the light switch....u will have to check inside the switch..tha haynes manual say that u shoul replace the switch as a unit....i was able to get mine fixed...good luck!!

 

I guess the WD-40 or electrical contact cleaner idea didn't work?

 

hey dude, thats very funny u have this problem and heres why, i have driven accross crountry like 5 times and the first of which i had your exact problem, i quiksolved it by tying my brights back to the light control stalk. but wen i got to cali i went to my dealer and had them check it out. they fixed it for somewhere in the 300-400 dollar range. it ended up being my headlight power control unit or something to that extent. i forget the exact name of it. its the same type of control unit u would have giving power to ur window controls. it sucks but replacing it is the only option. good luck i hope u find this info useful.

 

ps do not spray anymore of that greaser or wd or wat ever ur using. it will short all ur sh*t
