Nor do the seat programmers work. Manual sez the windows are protected by a circuit breaker & that it will reset itself once the overload has been corrected.

Huh?

Default Oh dear..... have you checked fuse #14? If its blown you may have

the all-too-common short in the seat. Wiring to the rear footwell light shorts against the lumbar support in the front seats.

Do a search, there are several recent threads, my solution was over a grand spent at the dealer, although I think someone recently fixed it by disconnecting the footwell lights.

That did the trick! No rear foot lighting, but all else works fine (knock on wood). Thank you!!

Default Audi told me that this isnt covered under warranty as its fair wear and tear...

Sounds like a design flaw to me!
