Hi Folks,

I have a 2000 TT Quattro that, given its age, predictably keeps giving me little problems that I need to fix. This time it's a frustrating one - the turn signals. A couple of days ago they just stopped "blinking" - no intermittent on/off behavior that is normal operation. It happens regardless of if I lock the turn signal lever down or merely hold it down for a few seconds (for a lane change, for instance). When I lock the lever down, the signal indicator on the dash on the actual signal on the front/back of the car stays constantly lit. If I hold it down temporarily, it stays lit for as long as I hold it down.

I have to think this is some sort of electrical issue (hopefully nothing major!) but I could really use your help and advice on how to tackle it.

Thanks in advance, everyone!

I think most people have found that the hazard switch w/internal relay is the cause and replacement is the solution. On rare occasions you might have a bad combi switch (ie the lever/mechanism).

The symptoms described are exactly what I had happen and it was the relay.
Here's a link to a 'how-to' for replacing the turn signal relay (which is actually the whole hazard button on the dash). I ended up buying the tools from my local Audi dealer to remove the radio. It's a pretty easy do-it-yourself project if you can get the radio out.

One guy went to the radio installation shop at Best Buy and they pulled his radio for him without disconnecting it (so he wouldn't lose his radio codes), then he did the hazard switch removal and install. Just a thought.

Just for future info there is a guy on ebay that is selling the radio removal tools foe $2.49 with free shipping. good to have if you stay with audi and VW products.
