New owner of the 05 S4, homelink problems

[Slobo7x]

Hello all,

A few days ago, on christmas to be exact, i purchased an 05 S4. Car is a dream, but I can't get the homelink to respond.

Basically when I press and hold any of the buttons for any period of time, LED does not flash. Even tried holding I and III and still no flash.. Ignition is ON, and handbrake is ON.

When the lights are on, the homelink buttons do illuminate. I checked the fuse and it's ok as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance!

nice purchase! Great car... As for your issue, its a common thing it looks like with these Audi's.. I had the same problem, mine though just stopped working from one day to the next..

Basically you need a new homelink computer

geez.. Lucky for me my passanger side headlight is not on the car as I had to dry them both out and apply grease to that o-ring and a few other places.
I'll look at that comptuer tomorrow, hopefully it can be "repaired" lol.

Thanks, at least I now know what is the problem.

I should have said destroyed by excessive water/moisture. I wrote down the part number, so i don't have to wait 15 minutes for parts guy to find it.lol.
