Hi PeterSmith,

I have what I think is the same problem. Generally, I start my car and all the lights in the driver's door for the windows are lit. It looks like they work. I touch one of them and they go out. Sometimes they work, sometimes not.

In the beginning it was rarely happening. I took it to my favorite Audi mechanic who said it was a loose wire in a wiring harness. And to save me some money, he soldered it together. It worked, it seemed for a while, but in reality, the issues was happening randomly.

Now it happens all the time, so tonight I took apart the little panel underneath the steering column to have a look at the wires coming from the door. I traced them to a relay with a lot of numbers on it. The numbers I think people refer to is '363'. If I jiggled this, the window switch lights in the door go on and off. I think it is not a wire in the wiring harness, but that relay. I will call Audi tomorrow and see if they have it in stock, otherwise I will order it and put it in.

Here are the numbers for the box.

Main side:
4A0959257
UH2
12V
SIEMENS 79FA404

Opposite side from prongs:
PA6-GF30 (in little letters)
363 (in really big letters)

Let me know if you want to hear more
