    I really do apreciate all of the knowledge that I have found here, but I am still stumped on where all of the fuse boxes are located on my 1889 a6. None of the windows work light doesnt come on when you open the door, and the sunroof has no responce. I have checked the fuses and found how to get to the breakers under the steering wheel. It seems that there might be a breaker or two missing. I do not have a service manual and do not have the money to buy one. My whole life I wanted an Audi and it just so happened when my car old car died and I needed a car I fell into this Audi a6 for $1200 with only 87k on it.

    Life is slowly turning around and any help someone can give me with advise how to fix it I will return 10 fold when I am able to.

    Thanks

    I might be mistaken but I think the windows work via a control module mounted under the carpet at the front under passenger seat (on European models anyhow), if it gets wet due to water ingress (not uncommon), this control module get fried. Someone else may be able to shed more light on this

    Search 'Plenum Chamber' on this forums, to see how big an issue it is.

    I suppose living in Florida, you don't have the rain that we do in dear old blighty.
    Nothing to see here, move along..

    Mmmm, clicked the link in your initial post to look at your car - looks lovely but not surprised windows, lights etc don't work, and I think you might have been ripped off a bit...!
