Radio Code and Overheating Problems

Informed List Members:

I don't know what I've done to have the wrath of the Audi gods come down on 
me, but

I just had my 3-speed automatic transmission replaced after months of poor 
performance.  I queried the list for suggestions and thanks to all who 
responded, especially Al Powell who gave a lot of good advice.

Total Price: $1300

A week after getting the tranny replaced, the alternator went.

Total Price:  $415

Here we are a week later and my car is overheating.  The radiator cooling 
fan is not coming on.  The turbo cooling fan comes on.  I will check the 
thermo-switch tonight.  If it is not the thermo-switch, what are my next 
options.  I notice that there are 3 coolant radiotor fan relays in the 
wiring diagrams.  Are these susceptible to failure?  Anyone have any 
thoughts?

And finally, when the alternator was replaced, my bose radio temporarily 
lost power and now is in the 'SAFE' mode.  My owner's manual says to depress 
the AM and the ARI-Z buttons, however, this is a factory replacement radio 
and doesn't have an ARI-Z button.  I pressed the AM and the FM1 buttons 
simultaneously and the display then read 1000.  I used the four station 
select keys to correctly key in the correct code.  I depressed the AM and 
FM1 switches again and the radio said 'SAFE' again.  What am I doing wrong? 
 After entering in the correct code, what buttons should I press?

Thanks in advance,
