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
