A switch for headlight range control isn't working

[Ignas.quattro]

Hello everyone
I saw that there is an english part of this forum , but I thought that right here I may get more answers considering the amount of topics here and there
So , the problem might be funny for you , but this is one and the only switch whose light doesn't work. In the other buttons changing lights is as simple as 2X2 , but in this one... Can someone please tell me how to..?

Hi Ignas!

Take a look at those pics:

You have to unmount the circuit board.
Be careful, there is a small ball in there wich you might loose.
The rest should be clear

ok thank you so much But when I get that red plastic of the board by "prying it off" , how will I be able to fix it where it was again? Use glue?

[Sedl]

You can use glue or a soldering iron

Its recommended to use hot melt adhesive, but any other appropriate glue may do as well. Make shure the red plastic is fixed securly, because it has to press down the potentiometer pos.5 firmly towards the board, otherwise the range control may not work. And don't lose the small steel ball pos. 8!

I thank everyone for the advices I made everything and put back to my car At least the switch lit up But I'm sure that it is working(still , I will check it out tomorrow) , because I put the red plastic back on its board very nicely , I mean that plastic fixed to the board by a "click" sound and it looked very steady without doing anything else. Haha and luckily I had a non-used broken DIFF button so the lamp which lights up the word DIFF was the same as the one in that headlight switch , so it fitted nicely I also re-soldered the DIFF button picture , well , the biggest one , I don't know how it is called so , now what is left are the window buttons , because some of them don't glow in red. How to change those? And what lights to put in those buttons? Are they the same as the one which goes to the electric sunroof button?
You know , I have this car only for a week now , this is my very first car and everything is an adventure for me

Take a look in there, it's not very tricky at all. http://translate.google.com/translate?u ... e&ie=UTF-8

I'm sooo angry now on Audi Engineering Damn those window switches When I asked a friend how did he change his lights in switches , he told that it is useless and he bought new switches with working lights... I thought puuh , why shouldn't I try? So I tried and now I think that I should buy new switches too Damn nothing there solders , I was trying to solder one damn light for an hour!!!! and then for gods sake I put everything back and now I will wait for a better mood

Hello
There seems to be a problem with that "switch for headlight range control" - on "O" the headlights go as high as possible , but when I rotate the switch to "I" they go as low as possible and so "II" and "III" are not working at all... I opened the switch again , but everything seems to be right with it... I got another switch for free and it works just fine but it has the same problem which my switch had - it doesn't light up... I'm afraid that when I resolder a light in a new switch it will break down as my first one did... What did I do wrong at first?
And I have another problem with those central console switches... When I press them It feels like their lights have bad contacts... So I borrowed few switches and put them instead on my old ones... but they "act" the same. Could there be a problem with wires coming to switches?
