Signal/Wiper Stalk Failure(s)?
Last week I noticed my turn signals completely stopped working on my 2004 AR. The next time I drove it, the problem seemed to have completely corrected itself. Then a few days ago they failed again, this time it was raining and I noticed the wipers locked up as well and were 100% non-responsive. The problem went away after 15 minutes of driving and everything worked fine.
Today, both signal and wiper stalks went dead again -- and are still dead. Is this related to the blinker relay? Would the blinker relay effect the operation of my wipers? Wiring issue?

Could be the relay. I had a similar thing happen to me. Do your emergency flashers still work? The relay is a $35 part at your Audi dealer. It is a pretty common failure.

Hazards work.
Update: Suddenly everything worked fine on my morning commute. Come lunch time, everything's dead again. There's no erratic blinking, buzzing or any other signs of failure -- it just stops working all together.

Update: My HVAC system now refuses to work. Air will not blow, regardless of hot/cold/fan settings.
Should I bite the bullet and take it to my local over-priced somali pirate of dealership (audi exchange, highland park)?
