I just bought a 2000 A6 wagon. The turn signal relay started to go out, and is now completely gone, nada. I understand I have to pop the dashboard panel off around hazard light relay and replace it, which has the turn signal relay in it as well.

Ok, how do I do this, step by step?

What tools do I need?

Is there a schematic of the dash, would it be helpful?

Thanks in Advance.

 

Dang, no one? I guess I will get off my **** and take a stab.

1. Remove the wood trim. Use a flat head screw driver on the right or left hand side and lift to opposite side. Do not pull from the top or the bottom, since you may break some plastic tabs.
2. remove the cup holder and/or the tray to the left. There is a wiring connector behind each one of those. You just disconnect it.
3. The hazard relay is held with 2 spring type metal pins, one on each side. Just stick a screw driver in from the left or right, and squeeze the pins. See Picture below.


4. Disconnect the wiring are replace it.

When I did mine, a couple of metal tabs held by plastic on the wood trim broke. Superglue worked fine.

 

What Hxgaser said. I did break some tabs that hold the wood trim. It still fits snug. Careful not to scratch the cupholder paint. Maybe some tape on anything that could get scratched.
