[s-cars] Curioser and curioser

The same part # is identified as being used in my coupe quattro as well - which doesn't have the switched power feature.   If that switch does have the right suffix, I may take the time to switch it out with the S6 and see if it makes a difference.  

Also if that's the case, why would anyone carry the earlier switch if the later one covers so many models?

Thanks for your insight, guys.

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

Is it possible you guys got the wrong switch?

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.
