v8 /200/ 5000 interior lighting switches

[Steve Kramer]

Probably good maintenance to change out the switches in any case.

again where is the interior light relay - is it somewhere accessible.

also i'm good with interior electrical and audio stuff, but how do i use a
multimeter?

i'm sure these switches are fairly cheap - ;) for audi parts.

I am starting to believe that it might be the relays as the footwell light
bulbs have been removed.  how does one remove the housing for the footwell
bulbs.  on my 200 if the doors were left open the lights would turn off.  it
seems to make sense.
