[s-cars] Curioser and curioser

[Michael Bess]

I have heard from wrench about a large number of problems associated with
the aftermarket replacement switches.  Had one on my wife's car; lasted
about a month.  He insists on using only the OEM Audi P/N which is what he
used on my S-6 when the return spring lost its oomph.  Didn't have any
problems with that.  Don't have the P/N tho.  Could be a bad OEM switch; try
changing it out.  Does the 95.5 have some different wiring scheme in light
of the radio behavior?

It's an OEM, not aftermarket - 4A0 905 849 B, according to what's on the box
it came in.  Now, who's to say what it says on the part in the car?   I've
got the old one in my hands now, and it doesn't have the "B" suffix on it.

Still it's worth a look.
