Lights not flashing when locking Audi a4! `Please Help!

[samwayslee]

Hello,

Just locked my Audi A4 Avant 190bhp 2004 and noticed the indicator lights never flashed when locking. They seem to work when opening but not on closure. I know it not a major problem but its the thing's like this that bother me grrrrrrrr ;-( Any help to sort this will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Are all the doors fully shut and everything turned off?

Maybe it's just how the car locks itself? My M3 is the opposite, will flash its indicators once when locking, but won't flash on an unlock. Makes it very annoying if I've accidentally sat on my keys and unlocked the car inadvertantly.

If it bothers you that much then hire a small socially deprived child to press the hazard warning button everytime you lock the car.

You don't have to tell anybody about this, when he is not on duty (i.e. when you don't need to lock the car when you nip into bargain booze really quickly, a situation similar to leaving your headlights on because it will "only be minute") you can lock the imp in the boot, make sure it is locked though because without the lights flashing you might be lulled into a false sense of security.

Make sure to feed him though, fish heads will do, otherwise he will not be able to perform the task of flashing the lights when you lock the car.

Either that or forget about it because it doesn't really matter.

I have a 02 Audi A4, the lights should flash when locking.

Mine dont flash, when a door is left on the latch, or not shut. Maybe when something is left on as well

Check and re-close all door and check everything
