95 A6 Power Window Unit Update

[TooManyAudis at aol.com]

After spending another evening with my 95 A6q, I'm leaning more and more  
toward the power control unit being the source of my problems.  The  intermittent 
nature of this failure is driving me batty.  At times, I am  getting just 
under 2 volts going to my switches, then 12 volts when the thing is  feeling 
generous.  Still shutting off the system at times when I push down  on a button -- 
power indicated by lights on the switches, push a switch and no  lights or 
power.  Pull unit, reinstall and all is ok, until I cycle power  to test the 
unit again.  It is better now that I have pulled and  reinstalled the unit 
several times, so a bad connection could be a contributing  factor, but I am 
thinking that it's an internal problem, not just corroded  contacts.
 
So, if any of you have one of these units, or if anyone of going  junkyarding 
soon, it's located on the left hand side of the driver footwell,  just behind 
a piece of plastic trim under the interior hood latch release.   There's a 
small plastic bit that removes to reveal a screw.  unscrew, slide  back toward 
the rear of the car, and it's the large, double-sized relay looking  thing.
 
Your reward for your help to humanity will be total consciousness upon your  
death... So, you'll have that going for you...
