Default Got the cigarette lighter going, but...

now I've got another problem. I replaced the cigarette lighter fuse and now it works fine, but I noticed that there was another fuse missing for the cruise control. So I went out and bought 5 amp fuses for that. To my surprise, when I got home to install them, the fuse in port 11 was very loose. It turns out that the metal pieces that hold the fuse in place are missing (not on the fuse, but in the fusebox itself). So I don't know what to do about that, do I need a whole new box or is there some way I can just replace the metal pieces? Thanks

What is #11 for? You might not have that option, thus no connection at the fuse.

There might be a diffferent fuse for the cruise control on your car. If the tabs are not there and not even in the back of the fuse box that fuse spot was not used by Audi when they built your car.
