Default Electrical problems 96 A4 2.8 12V

It's been raining like crazy lately. And finally I'm getting some electrical problems with my Audi.

I left the car and no signs of problems, when I finish my shift I see the corner lights flashing rapidly like when you leave the lights on and the battery is almost drained. When I opened the door I hear this noise coming from the fuse compartment. When I turn my key on, the sound goes off and the battery was ok.

On my way home no problems, except the climate control was stuck, could not get moreair or less.

Once I parked the car.. turn the key of, turn the lights of.. the sound comes back again.. and I checked the corner lights and they were on. Funy thing is

- When I turn the lights on, the sound goes away
- climate control background is on when the keys out and lights off

I checked the fuses, and deeper in, there seems to be some relays, 204 and 21x.. I don't remember.. sound is coming from both of them.. I touched them and they were vibrating. I'll get the exact numbers tomorrow.

Does any one have any ideas? Could the relays be causing this problem.. or water got into the board and $#%^#$% things up?

Any info will be appreciated!

Thanks

Remote starter? Aftermarket alarm?

Sounds like you may just need to replace those relays.
