Solution to my problem! Turns out it was a problem with the turn signal switch. As some wise person posted on a forum, a simple squirt of WD-40 into the turn signal switch by the base of the stalk fixed the problem. YAHOO!!!!!! Good for another 150k miles.

It's your hazard switch. - Mat@4induktion 2004-10-07 14:08:12 (2071 views)

Sounds like its time to change your blinker fluid :-P - Dr. Jekyll 2004-10-07 09:25:03 (1294 views)

Maybe you are low on turn signal fluid? - Josh@Achtuning.com 2004-10-07 09:21:17 (1217 views)

damn it, you beat me too :-) - Dr. Jekyll 2004-10-07 09:26:02 (750 views)

Unpossible. I just flushed with synthetic. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 09:23:46 (931 views)

Happened to me last month. Same exact symptoms, etc. Bad Hazard switch relay - Gus 2004-10-07 07:36:04 (1939 views)

Would you mind looking on your receipt and giving me the part number(s)? - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 07:37:43 (992 views)

according to etka, it's 8d0 941 509 h 01c (satin black). impex has it for $29.19. - dscottjr@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 07:52:40 (1938 views)

Sweet - thanks! - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 07:58:22 (679 views)

no problem, bud:) - dscottjr@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 08:00:59 (538 views)

what? i thought signaling was - Biturbogramps@100K 2004-10-07 07:21:42 (1027 views)

My guess, signal relay. - Boston Driver 2004-10-07 06:19:13 (1448 views)

They're the only dealer in town. Trust me, I'm not alone in that sentiment. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 06:40:05 (661 views)

Yeah, pretty common problem. The relay is integrated with the hazard switch. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 06:38:50 (1370 views)

Oooh - I didn't think to check the hazard lights. BRB. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 06:40:38 (760 views)

Okay - hazard lights and alarm arm/disarm flashes work just fine. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 06:49:01 (991 views)

yes. - Nick Gustas 2004-10-07 07:00:43 (692 views)

Yup, I've known 2 S4 owners who had the same issue. Hazards worked but not turn signals. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 07:07:33 (1264 views)

...and tons of A4 owners have already had this issue. - RKA 2004-10-07 09:34:41 (876 views)

Yup, I'm one that DAP is talking about. It's the relay in the hazard switch - about $40, IIRC - Mark P 2004-10-07 07:46:07 (1214 views)

Looks like I have to remove the surrounding trim first. Any suggestions? - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 08:08:28 (1186 views)

yeah, I use a tiny flathead to help pry towards the rear of the car until I can get my fingers - Mark P 2004-10-07 08:47:37 (3017 views)

Perfect. Thanks! - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 09:17:09 (624 views)

that trim surround just pries off. - dscottjr@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 08:11:27 (848 views)

I used an expired credit card and a hotel key card. It comes off towards the front IIRC. - Nick Gustas 2004-10-07 08:13:30 (835 views)

yep. - dscottjr@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 08:14:51 (530 views)

You and Ron. - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 07:56:19 (542 views)

I couldn't recall if it was you or Ron that was the 2nd ;) - Mark P 2004-10-07 08:01:33 (568 views)

Yup. :) - DAP@PEB tuning 2004-10-07 08:02:39 (429 views)

Great. Thanks, guys! Sounds like a simple fix. - O.W. Kenobi 2004-10-07 07:38:31 (843 views)
