Default ALL Window switches do not work anymore!

I have checked the circuit breaker fuse & it's ok. Is there a relay I should be looking at and where is it? None of the window switches lite up or work! Or is this problem worse than I think?

Did you have anything around the center console unplugged? theres one massive wiring harness that runs under the center console that plugs in under the area of the ash tray. The main harness for all yourswitches in the center console are there. I'd start there and make sure that plug is secure.

Red face Once again ibified you are right.

The plug for the light switches was unplugged
Thanks.
I've learned some very interesting things about the difference in sedans & wagon of the 850 class.

How? BTW...Got the switch..my wife thanks you too!
On another note...how do you change the shift **** on these cars? The one on the wagon seems to be falling apart! It literally is falling off in chunks!!!!

Put it in neutral, and pull up hard. Be careful not to punch yourself in the face when it eventually comes loose!

Audis: glad you got it. I put it in my car before i sent it to make sure it works. Glad i had one laying around for you - they're salty to buy them.
