Consumer Description

THE LEFT DRIVERS SIDE BREAK LIGHT/SIGNAL WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT TENDS WEATHER DEPENDENT. I HAVE READ AUDI FORUMS WHOM HAVE SAID THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WHEN EXPOSED TO HEAT (70 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND ABOVE) WILL SHORT CAUSING THE LED BREAK/SIGNAL LIGHT TO NOT WORK. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT IT IS ALSO BECAUSE OF A FAULTY "LIGHT CONTROL MODULE + WIRING." DUE TO THE INTERMITTENCY AND HIGH COST OF THE JOB IT HAS NOT BEEN SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIX. I AM AFRAID THAT EVENTUALLY NONE OF THE TAIL LIGHTS WILL WORK OR EVEN AFTER REPAIRING IT, THE SAME ISSUE WILL ARISE. I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN MAY OF 2015, HOWEVER IT WAS FINE THROUGH THE FALL AND WINTER. I AGAIN NOTICED IT RANDOMLY THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS (JUNE-AUG).
