[s-cars] Ignition thanks!

[Franco Barber]

It depends on the model year.

The wiring diagrams for the Audi 100 up to August 1992,
and for the '92 urS4, show a separate Airbag Energy Reserve, J177.
It does not show any particular way to disconnect this reserve,
but it does show a 2-pin connector that can disconnect the igniter.

Newer cars do not show a separate energy reserve.
The 93-95 models show a connector, called T1n, described as this:
	Wire connector, single, red, front footwell, right,
	near Electronic Box.

For the 96/97 A6 the T1n connector is gone.


So, for some models there is a separate energy reserve.  For others,
the wiring diagram doesn't show one but I think I read it is
incorporated into the Airbag Control Module itself.
