my headlights on my 99 a4 stopped working and i dnt know wat the problem is. I checked the main fuse box and they look good. Is ther a second fuse box under the hood? Is it a relay? When i turn the light switch on my parking lights cme on but no headlights. The only way I can have lights is to hold my highbeams on manualy. Plz help me fix this problem

Shokan has Good and tested switches for $75. www.shokan.com. This will be a recurring problem for you as it has been for EVERYONE and no one ever had a solution. After replacing it 5 times I called a friend (auto electrician) and we diagnosed it.

The wiring harness had two wires that were burning causing the copper piece inside to heat up and melt. The switch draws nearly 23 amps with the front and rear fog lights on, 13 with just the front, and 7 amps with just the headlights. I ended up running a relay for the fog lights so the switch will never draw more than 7 amps. The fog lights still run through the switch so they function like normal (off when high beams on / off when car off)

So what you need to do is buy a new light switch, www.shokan.com or find one elsewhere, and then install the relay for the fog lights. This will permanently eliminate this problem.

does anybody know how to take the turn signal switch off

Take the steering wheel off, then the plastic steering collumn shroud. After that disconnect the two electrical connectors, then loosen a clamp screw. The switch assembly then slips off. If you've never had the steering wheel off, you might want to search for details, since there are precautions related to the airbag.
