[s-cars] Bulb Check module and Ecru rear head rests

[Jason Butler]

Eric,
         There is a separate module in the fuse/relay panel under the hood 
it is a double wide relay socket that has some current comparitors in it 
which sends a signal to the autocheck system.  I can't remember right off 
hand which relay socket it is in but it is listed on the cover to the 
box.  Now for the problem I'm not sure if it is that module or if it is 
ground wire problem or what.

I know on the older Audi's there was two modules, one for the rear lights 
and one for the front,  and it was easy to bypass those so they wouldn't 
send a signal to autocheck but I don't know how to do it on our S4's.
