Default Help with 2003 A4 avant electrical problems

I've replaced the battery and even the ignition switch in hopes of solving these problems with no luck. The Wipers, Turn signal and Window switches don't work. The AC unit works intermittently.

Here is a VCDS scan.

That or water intrusion into fuse boxes such that the car still downloads codes, but is not communcation with the rest of the car. Not terribly familiar with the electrics, but know the comfort module, the ECU, and fuse box underneath the ECU are good places to start. Unfortunately, you will just have to start tearing into the car and look for a short somewhere. Case in point, I spent the better part of an afternoon looking for the componenet on my 300ZX that was causing my brake lights not to illuminate. Finally found a bad component in the back near the taillight.

It ended up being the comfort module.
