with key in accesory before engine is turned on? This is how it is in every other audi I've owned seen. For some reason it doesn't in my car. The bulb is good...

Car is an early non California '90 20v 90q.

Default Funny. Didn't work in Dave's '90 Cq either. Wouldn't even blink codes.

Worked fine in mine though.

Default It lights up on my non-California early '90 CQ.

Have you tries blinking error codes? Perhaps you have an air gap in the CEL circuit.

I tried blinking codes again just now, no go. Is there a fuse or anything I can check?

Default I have nothing from the bulb in my 95 90 2.8V6fwd either....when I try pulling codes..

for some reason my airbag light does the blinking....and that never seems to give me anything to work with- with all the crap that I have done to my 90 that should cause it to throw something [the airbag light] of all things blinks but gives me clean bill of health!

sump'in aint right y'all
