[s-cars] Breaker breaker - Paging Mr. Munro (was Fire..)

[Fred Munro]

Hi Craig;

The circuit breaker is in the A1 position in the under-hood relay/fuse box.
This disables the high amperage power feed that drives the window motors
through the relay. The low amp feed that activates the relay will still be
hooked up. You can disable that by pulling the relay or disconnecting the
yellow/white relay activation wire . I would think a fire is more likely
from the 30 amp power feed rather than the low amp relay closing circuit,
but stranger things have happened....

  Auto window/sunroof close. I wish the Audi engineers took THAT budget and
applied it elsewhere.

  As I look out the window from my desk, I half expect to see flames any
time now.

  Never used this feature never needed this feature never tried this
feature.

  Is it best to pull the breaker? Or the relay? If its the breaker where's
it?

  Thanks Fred for all your contributions to this list - past and present.
