Default Need serious help please :( Audi A7

I will start from the beginning.

I drove about two hours upstate with AC on full blast and my music all the way up (not sure if either affects each other) so I get to my destination and I decide to get back in my car to go to store and this is when the first problem happened.

My Ac stopped working !? It was blowing fine, just no cold air at all and the AC light was on also (at the time) so I wait about a half hour and still not a single breeze of cool air. I tell my uncle and he says one of my fuses must be blown out, we checked the compressor and the belt was still spinning. So we open the driver side fuse compartment we check every single fuse and put them right back in. All fuses were fine, so I start my car up and more problems !! I have a few error messages photos posted below. What I can immediately realize is my steering wheel was very stiff, when I have my parking aid on the lines are gone in the rearview camera, all I see is literally just what's behind me. No more blue line telling me where my car would go if I turn the wheel. And the final problem I noticed is the lights in the car will not shut off for about 20-30 minutes. As opposed to shutting off instantly after I lock my car. I'm extremely frustrated I checked the manual to make sure my fuses were in the right place. I don't know what to do please anyone with any sort of info please share.

Any negative comments will be ignored I'm already in a bad place with my car and extremely upset, negativity will not make situation any better. Thanks so much guys

I don't know, but probably the only thing you can try without involving the dealer is disconnecting the battery. But I'm guessing a dealer visit is in order. Good luck.

I would turn the ignition on and off a couple of times and go for a short drive. My feeling is that by pulling the fuses out and disrupting power to some of the modules, you may have made them need to relearn or something of that nature.

When I bought my car, it had a ton of lack of communication etc codes. Everything pointed to it's battery having gotten low on power and likely a jump start was needed. Once cleared and all systems were able to reset, it has not thrown another code.

I would say disconnect the battery... sounds like the PCM is guessing as to what is really wrong.

Also about the A/C if its on Auto it may not resume until 10 mins or so after a short stop you can however just turn the temp down to 60 and it will kick in within a minute or so.

Default Thanks gentleman !!

Problem solved, so the air conditioner had some sort of sensor that was loose. He told me that took a second to fix. As far as the other issues it had to do with the computer, it was confused when I was messing with the fuses. Everything is back to normal. And free of charge and I also had the SQ5 today for the loaner which I really like lol might have to persuade my fiancé to buy it
