Default hEADLIGHT PROBLEM

1998 Audi a4 quatro 2.8.
Suddenly headlights quit working.
No dims no brights.
Lifting up on the turn signal lever gets brights.
Also cruise has not worked since I had the car.
Is there a relay somewhere that might account for this?
Wires in the stalk switch maybe.

I forgot to add, check engine light came on on the same drive. Could there be a connection?

From what I have seen it seems your issues are caused by a bad or melted “combination” switch which is your headlight and cruise control switch. Replace it and you should be good to go. Might last a couple months or never have another issue. Audi did not install a headlight relay from factory if you add one it should never be an issue again.

The ignition switch was the problem.
