Clicking relay

[John S. Lagnese]

These are the under hood fuse box relays. The ETKA verifies the relay cover.

John,
Audi used these fuse boxes on all 44 chassis as well as other cars from
about O85 thru the S car years. Don¹t go by the box labels, use Bentley!

You imply that there are two CC relays, as I said before there is only one!
Pull your #3 and see if the horn works.
