RE: Relay clicking without following faults

Has anyone got a list over relays and function of them?

I have a degree in electronics and knows how a relay sounds like :) And I don't have any keys attached to the carkeys, so that is one possibility being eliminated..

Relay clicking without following faults

I haven't found out what it controls. It clicks unsystematickly, but only when the car is moving and not when accelerating or braking. It never clicks when the engine is pulling the car as when driving up hill. But if I press down the clutch while moving or let go of the accelerator, or just keeping...

RE: Xenon failure, but not bulb or ballast...

No work was done to the car at that time. To information, when the light started failing the first few days, it could have problem igniting the buld causing it to flash rapidly for two seconds before it turned of. But it has never done that since. I hear a relay clicking, but I don't think its relat...

Including the attatched wire with the bulb socket. Is there anything else nearby that could cause the p...

Xenon failure, but not bulb or ballast...

Hi I have a problem with the xenon driving light on drivers side. Passenger light has no problem. The light works for about five minutes when first starting the car, but then fails. When trying to switch on and off the light it reignites, but failes after ten seconds every time. I have switched both...

interior light flashing

When the door for the passenger side is opened and the ignition is on, the lights start to flash, oscillating by turning on every 3 second, approximately. I have checked and measured the switch in the door lock. It looked ok and gave a constant electric contact and break as it should. The overview i...

RS4 B5 gearbox weakness

I have heard there is a weakness in the gearbox in the first versions of the RS4. The shaft running 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear was not strong enough and could fail. This was upgraded in later models. I am not sure when the upgrade came, probably in 2001. Has anyone else heard of this shaft weakness and m...
