[s-cars] HELP! Audi gods at work

[Mark Pollan]

Hi John:

My guess is that it is ur ignition switch.  I *believe* that when engaging
ur starter, power is temporarily interrupted to the components u listed.
Try jiggling the key a bit and see if power is restored.  A new switch is in
your future perhaps.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [s-cars] HELP! Audi gods at work

All,

Today the gods have finally struck!  I have not had one
electrical problem with my S6 until now but my luck has changed
for the worse I beleive.

I got in to run and get some lunch and found out that my Climate
Control as well as both my turn signals and windshield wipers
are inoperable.  If I turn the key to the acc position and don't
engage the starter then everything works, as soon as I crank the
car and start the engine the turn signals and windshield wipers
don't work and the Climate Control is blank.  It only happens
while the car is running, if I don't start it everything
works???????  Since it is raining pretty hard right now I
haven't checked the fuses but I cannot drive home w/o the
wipers!  It doesn't seem like a fuse to me though since it works
except when the motor is running?  Any ideas on what the hell is
going on with the electrics?  Also, even though the turn signals
don't work the Cruise Control still does.

Thanks for any insight.

john-trying to get home in the rain.
