RH side of the manual transmission for MN6, Park/Neutral Switch, LH side of the transmission for A4.
It could be the PERIMLP micro relay, located in the Underhood Electrical Center. This is a five-position relay. In normal operation, current flows through either the backup lamp switch or the Park Neutral switch, through the relay, to the backup lamps. When you use the remote to unlock the BCM energizes the relay to switch pole positions, allow current to flow through another position on the relay to the backup lamps.
Switch or wiring is more likely than the relay, but you never know.

Mine has gone through three back up switches in 139,000 miles.
