Thanks Damien, Todd,   

My car auto locked when the trunk was closed and often while being driven, 
especially if backed up.   I finally had a chance to open the wire bundle 
into the trunk on the drivers side as you suggested.   5 of the 7 wires were 
broken (at the sharpest point in the bend)-  some in multiple places.     
Splicing around the breaks, not only have fixed the auto locking problem, it 
restored the backup lights and license lights.    I had not even noticed the 
license lights were gone.     From talking to another Audi wrench I head that 
this problem is common to more than just the 1993 90.

I also changed the way the wire bundle is fastened to the hinge elements so 
it does not have to make such a sharp turn.   Hopefully, it won't snag or 
break again.

Craig
