Default Help with electrical issues: The following are all not working:

Headlights
turn signals,
horn
air conditioner
windshield wipers

It's in the shop now, and they're looking at a specific "relay" that might be bad. any thougts? It's a bit more difficult than I thought driving at night in the rain without lights or wipers!

Sounds like the load reduction relay. Check this write-up:

I had the same problem with my Brazilian Audi A3 8L. A melted pin in the ignition switch. Very hard to see if you donīt take apart the cover to see the connections. One full day in the repair shop to find the problem. They replaced the 4B0905849 part (for US$12 at a local dealer) and repaired the melted plastic (I could not find the replacement part).
