Re: mystery relay/controller

Why not remove the panel, compare what should be there according to 
the manual, and what isn't?
Not always bulletproof since the manual is frequently wrong about 
minor things...

I think everyone is right...the only other possible part it could be, 
with that sounder, is an auto-check system component.


One of the DJ's here in Boston had a rather amusing problem of an 
opposite nature..."The Big Matress", Charles Laquadera(sp?) owns an 
S4(and -raves- about it on the air all the time, and his crew jokes 
about stealing it for a drive, or on snowy days, says things like 
"well, CHARLES didn't have a problem today, now did you?"  Great 
publicity...Audi must -love- him :)

Anyway, his problem was that the chime wouldn't turn -off- no matter 
what he did.  He announced his problem on the air, and an Audi dealer 
got word and sent someone out who found a busted relay and replaced 
it.

Once I asked him vial email if he was going to attend the Mt. 
Washington event..he said he hadn't made up his mind, and never 
showed up.  Maybe we can convince him for next year...
