Got a small problem
Sometimes when I turn off my 98 vert A4 and I open the door, I get the warning chime like I left the lights on or key in when nothing was left on or in. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks
Nick

There is a little pin/sensor in the ignition. Put a little graphite lube on the key and slide it in and out about a dozen times or so. This will lube the lock and the sensor, so it won't stick.
You can get the graphite in a tiny droplet bottle anywhere that sells locks.
Do not use oil, as oil attracts dust and is to thick. Graphite is made for things that lock.
