Help! 95 A6q headlight switch has given up the ghost...

[Mike Veglia]

<< The Headlight Switch on my 95 A6q went out on me while driving tonight.

Has anybody had success cleaning these, or do I need a replacement? >>

Our '95 A6q headlight switch lost hi-beams a year or so ago. I squirted a bunch of Caig DeOxit in and exercised the switch and hi-beams have worked ever since. An artifact of this was the rear wipers that hadn't worked for years came back to life for a few months.

Replacement doesn't look too tough, but you do need to deactivate and remove the air bag to get the steering wheel off. No BTDT for me there yet....

HTH and good luck!
