Thanks for the vid man!! it really helped. One thing I want to add to anyone else watching this is you can fix the switch while its still on the car. Once the wheel and airbag sensor are off, the silver plate you need is exposed right in front, and it does save a bit of time and hassle. Thanks again! Wish I could give you more then one "like"!!
thanx man. it's nice to see I'm not the only 1 with this problem
Hi, The airbag is a T-30. Just buy a torx multi-tool like I have in the video and the size should be in there. T-20 or 25 for the switch assembly, or a 5/32 allen key works for the switch assembly. You also need a long skinny phillipshead screwdriver to get the shroud off the steering wheel.
T-30 for the airbag, t-55 for the steering wheel (i believe), and I think a t20 or t25 for the switch assembly. A 5/32 allen key will also for the switch assembly.
Man got issues with my light switch, and need to do the same thing you are doing.. Thank you for the vid. yo
Thats just because there are so many plugs on it, it just takes a while to get them out because they are tough. I usually use a screwdriver to pry them off.
This one for the steering wheel looks more like M10 rather than T-55..
Gary, can you list the Torx sizes used , The main one I found is 55mm torx, What about the little stuff, like the airbag bolts, etc.. thanks (some of us reaquiring a tool set.. long story)
steering wheel bolt is m12 Triple Square
You're welcome, thanks for watching! Great observation, I didn't think of that. Hit the subscribe button! haha
Though, can you give more input on the actual switch assembly removal, it seems there was bit of struggle get it off, any tips? thanks
Thanks for watching! I have another video of how to fix the switch. Another thing that causes problems with the lights is the ignition switch, which I also have a video of how to replace that. I have many audi videos so search my channel, like, and subscribe! Thanks again!
I got the same airbag as yours, I wonder If I can make another video like this, help the A4 community
Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. My headlights don't work but unfortunately changing the light switch didn't help. When I switch the headlights on, I can measure 12V at the fuses; at the bulbs, the voltage reads 0. Does this mean the problem must be between the fuse box and the headlights? (broken cable?)
you're welcome! its a common problem
Hello, I have had a fault with the lack of front lights and most likely the headlamp control has failed. Is it possible to remove the cover of the grips without removing the steering wheel?
Perfect, got it, did it, helped a lot. Thanks for posting...
What size of torx wrenches did you use?
what size torx wrenches u need for this
Go for it!
So I just went to start this job and one of the screws for the air bag is totally stripped out? Any idea what size it is so I can buy a new one? Also if I cut it off so I can move on with the job can I get it all back together with out the one screw or would that set of a sensor of some sort? I wouldn't leave it that way I just want to drive it back to someplace I can get a new screw.
Sorry I didnt' see this comment. You can put it back together with one screw...but get a new one in asap.
my headlights stopped working, could this be the reason? i keep hearing headlight switch and im not sure, all the fuses are good. its just th e headlight/foglight thats stopped working
it could be the reason
Is this going to affect the airbag at all?
as long as you disconnect your battery it won't affect the airbag.
is a "headlight switch" and "combination switch" the same thing?
in the case of this car it is
a DIY Car Guy thanks bud, using your vid. Wish me luck.
good luck!
a DIY Car Guy ty sir, by chance so you know the name of that first tool you used? The one that you used to take the steering cover off?
It's a torx key, theres a torx head bolt on both the left and right side holding the air bag on. I don't remember what size so if you get the multi-tool like I have, one of the keys will be the right size. The big one that holds the steering wheel on is also a torx socket.
What are you marking with the markers?
just the position of the steering wheel and the position of the clock spring
i replaced the blinker and wiper switch in my 99 a6 and now the car wont stay running, any ideas?
+Dean Vandament bumped a wire on the ignition switch maybe? Sorry I thought I answered this question but my reply isn't showing up on this video now.
it cost nothing to speak while ur doing it. explain wtf ur going step by step. but tnks anyway.
samiiiiii
Not sure if your still here but i'll give it a shot, I have an 98 a4 quattro, marker/directional lights work, high beam flash works, low beam and high beam DO NOT work, so i took off the switch cleaned sanded, freed up the springd mad it all like new, still the low and high beam dont work, so i am looking for the power source, because at the fuses which are good, I have no power, none, either pole, both dead, so where is the power suppost to come from,
bat to fuse to switch to headlight
, or bat to switch to fuse to head lights
, or bat to ign-switch to fuse to light switch to device
well if you can lean a hand, I would love to solve this, I hate buying parts that only need to be cleaned or freed up.. ,
+David Densmore I'm pretty sure it goes battery -- ignition switch -- fuse -- headlight switch -- headlight. The ignition switch's contacts wear out inside. The ignition switches are pretty cheap if you get a used or aftermarket, so it's worth a shot. Also, check the condition of the plugs that go to the back of the headlight switch assembly, sometimes the plastic gets brittle from heat, and the metal doesn't make good contact.
+a DIY Car Guy yep, traced it all down, took it all apart clean and free every thing put back together, and bam. head light are working now, Problem is now it won't stay running, engine starts for 1-2 seconds and stalls or turn off, i tring to figure withc wire got pulled, you have any idea??
+David Densmore Never mind, i forgot, leaving the bat disconnect, you have to reset the throdbody, by leaving the key in for 3-5 minutes.
David Densmore Awesome I'm glad you fixed it, I didn't know about the throttle body reset
hey man I have a yellow switch on the back on my headlight switch that I can't find the plug in, any idea??
Is it an actual yellow switch, or a yellow plug? Yellow plugs are for airbags. Do you have the airbag on your car?
+a DIY Car Guy yeah I finally figured it out
Zack Gross ok cool
+a DIY Car Guy so I finished everything got the headlights working but I just got in my car to run to the store and it can't run over 2k with out staling its a standard car, never had this problem before
Try a throttle body reset...unplug the battery for 5 minutes, plug it back in, then turn the key to the on position without turning the car on, let it sit like that for 5 minutes. Then try and drive it and see what happens. Otherwise check the cam or crank sensor. If there are any codes showing up, check those out.
How about talking in video if you're making a how to video
Maybe you cant talk. But it would be nice.
T-30 for the airbag, t-55 for the steering wheel (i believe), and I think a t20 or t25 for the switch assembly. A 5/32 allen key will also for the switch assembly.
