Ignition Switch Installed

[santambrogio]

The igntion key is back to normal operation.

The cars turs off, the wheel locks, the headlights work without fiddling with the key.

Thanks for the good info on the forum.

The switch was replaced with the Audi part, so that the entire switch-lock assembly did not have to be replaced. On the two set screws I used blue loctite on top of the screws, it might have been better to use as intended on the threads as it doen not dry if exposed. Nail enamel might have been a better choice here.

The cars was not driven for 2-3 days and the battery died, it has been recharged, the remoate key locks for the doors and trunk no longer work. Time for the dealer to reprogram?

Probably no dealer visit required. The remote alarm system shuts down after a few days. Try to using the key (the old fashioned way) to lock - then unlock the doors. If that does not restore the remote then something else is wrong.

And that is what has been done, for the last two days as the car has been driven.

The battery was dead, flat dead from the ign. switch not turning the car off.

Only one of the 2 remote keys did lock and unlock the car previous to the ign. switch replacement.

How do we get the car to receive the key's signal?
