HAZZARD SWITCH ILLUMINATION, hi i was wondering if anyone had this battery drain problem, my hazzard light illuminates on my A4 tdi sport 2001 B6, when turned off wether it is locked or not but comes on and off every 20 seconds or so, and with an amp meter rigged it is showing .85 milli amps everytime the light comes on then closes down to normal, till comes on then goes back to .85 milli amps all day and all night, now we tried a few things and the only fuse that stops this power drain is the diagnostics fuse number13, the light goes out and does not come back on, but i cant leave it out as the indicators and high beam and central locking does not work, with fob, but central locking still works with key, and light still stays out, anyone any ideas, as this has done my head in for ages THANKS

I think you mean 0.85 amp, which is a lot, 0.85 milli amp is 0.0085 amp (I think?), which is not very much. I suspect that problem may be due to water in the convenience unit under the passenger’s floor sound deadening.

hi sorry to my first querie, it was the fuse for the steering column i think that i took out on looking today not the diagnostic, sure it was steering column module, where is this situated and is it easy to replace, is the steering angle sensor the same thing or not, thanks
