Default turn signal stuck??

my hazards still work normally, but my turn signal seems to just light up and stay lit when i have the stalk on either direction. it just doesn't flash or click.

i did find a fix for this... opening and closing the passenger side front door.. what is loose? or is this just bad audi electronics?

thanks

Default I had this happen before

The dealer had to reinstall the blinker switch and relay.

The turn indicator relay is a little bit of a weakling. It tends to "stick" (relay contacts fusing together) easily, and mostly mechanical force releases it quickly and easily without any harm. I like your quick fix, however... I just replaced the stupid relay.

If I remember correctly, the relay is about $35 - way overpriced. I'd try to get the same relay at a VW dealer. If you want, I can find out part number and send it to you. Install is about an hour because I had to go behind the instrument cluster (i.e. take it out and put back in). I do not know whether there is a better or faster way. I can look it up in Bentley, but I think they suggested the same method.
