Default No Windows/Alarm/Door locking/Sunroof Door Issue

Ok so this is wierd, last night i went out, parked my car, everything was fine.... When i came out of the bar 3 hours later, went to grab something shut my door and locked it.... I then noticed the alarm didn't set??? I thhought my drunk *** hit the trunk button as usual.... Nope it was shut... The car was locking but not arminng the alarm. So i said **** it, made sure it was locked the got my ride home that was waiting for me.... The next morning i went to pick the car up, i got in started it and up comes up on the dashboard, it thinks ALL the doors EXCEPT the drivers door are open. Which is funny since the drivers door was the only one that had been opened that entire night. Along with it not recognizing the doors, it recognizes the drives door just fine BTW, the windows wont roll up or down, the interior lights wont come on car off or on, key in or out, no interior lights except night time red dash/stereo/ac lights. I pulled the Vag codes but heres were it gets wierd.. It doesn't really show much, I'm pretty sure these codes are from when i got side swiped LAST YEAR. I didn't clear the codes for the locks ever, that i can recall... So i cleared the code and am going to go for a drive and do some errands. Ill post back in an hour or two with new codes if they show up. I rescanned after i cleared the codes, after trying to lock doors, shut/open doors, etc.. nothing showed up so ill give it a little i guess. Heres the vag codes for the central locking.

I did check the wires in between the drivers door and frame, pulled the boot back and my wires still look brand new, no cracks i could see. Next is the comfort control module correct??? Its under some panel in the passenger floor area??? I found a couple threads about people with A4's with the same issue, lol not really what i was planning on doing hung over this morning...

Default Convenience Module

The convenience module is under the carpet directly in front of the drivers seat. It is in a recess area in the floor. Many people have had water get into this area and cause all sorts of odd problems with the module. My personal experience was a bad power wire (there are 2) and had to run a new wire. I have also had a shorted switch inside the drivers seat that kept blowing fuses (#14 I think) that caused the windows and sun roof/alarm/interior lights ect. not to work. I unplugged the wire harness for the seat and the blown fuse went away. I will try to post a wire diagram for your car

I'd probably do some testing with VAG-COM before tearing anything apart.

My guess is the footwell light, which is more common fault for fuse #14. Just reach up under the driver seat and unplug the two-wire black connector which is for the rear footwell light. That wire sometimes shorts because of issues with the inside of the driver seat...old wiring coming into contact with something metal inside the seatback frame.

Good luck!!!
