Hey  everyone,

*Driving*
- My radio isn't working/ Won't turn on at  all.  Does anyone have any idea
what that might be? The old owner said  it was working before, didn;'t see a
fuse for it.
  IIRC there is a fuse on the back of the radio.. that's the  extent of my 
aid due to so many possible reasons.


-  Central locking not working, each door needs to be opened individually.
-  Driver door won't open with key.  Feel like I'm shifting the whole  key
cylinder
 Multiple issues here. 
 
 On the drivers door you have a broken actuator link. They were  made from 
crap and always were a problem. C4 cars got a much better stamped  steel 
part that will interchange. Best to do both front doors, its possible your  
pass door could be broken as well just not showing the full effect  yet.
 
 If they power locks dont work when you depress either front lock  plunger 
its likely the control module is bad. Its located in front of the  battery. 
Less likely but still possible is that both front doors have broken  lock 
wiring, bad lock vac/electrical actuators, or even the broken links I  
previously mentioned.
 
 If you're lucky and it is the control module they can be sourced  from any 
C4 chassis car (92-96 100/S4/A6/S6 ) as well as 92-94 V8s
 
 I'm assuming you dont have the key for the factory keyless entry  since 
you didn't mention it not working. 
 

- ABS not working/ light also showing this.  Wonder what that  might be 
 
 Depends on how its not working. If the light is off when you  start the 
car but comes on when you start to drive you probably have a bad wheel  speed 
sensor or rusty teeth on an axle. If its always lit check the fuse on the  
abs relay under the passenger front carpet. The relay could be bad too. 



- Plastic around front marker lights almost gone.   Anyone have this really
random piece?  Haven't taken the fender off to  see if its part of the whole
fender. 

Not plastic, really old rubber. Clips to the folded edge of the  fender. 
Not sure if they can even be found new. They were pretty pricey back  when I 
had a v8.



Thanks.  Appreciate all the  help.
