[s-cars] Curioser and curioser

[Fred Munro]

Bob;

It's curious that Paul has the same problem and his box has the right part
number on it. Do you have the old switch? How does the switch know the key
is in the lock? Is there a pin that the end of the key depresses when the
key is in place? It could be that Audi is packaging the older type switch in
both boxes. If you can determine what feature on the switch makes the key
function work you can visually check that the new switch is the right part.

  Fred,

  The two are, I'm sure, visually and dimensionally identical.

  Nuts.  The box which brought the switch went to the dump Wednesday
morning.  I don't have the part number unless I pull the new switch and read
it there.  I guess I'll need to do the job again once I'm sure I have the
right part.

    What's the part number on your switch? Cars from '89 up use 4A0 905 849

    Pre-'89 cars used 443 905 849 A. My WAG is that they both will fit....

    Bob,

    Funny you should say that.  I just had my ignition switch replaced as
well -
    and it's showing the exact same behaviour.  Not only does it no longer
    switch off the radio, the overhead cabin light doesn't turn on with the
    removal of the key as it did before - something my wife definitely
    appreciates.  The cabin light still goes on when the door opens.

    I'd be curious as to what you find out.  But considering that the old
switch
    kept the starter engaged - this little inconvience I can live with.
