Know the Reasons Behind Erratic Lights in Your Audi

Being able to own an Audi is a luxury. Audis are known for their performance, endurance, impeccable engineering, and technological components. Even though the Audi is an exceptional brand that continues to meet their customers’ demands, they still have their issues. A common issue is erratic lights.

Have you noticed the lights flicker when you accelerate? Are your taillights stuck on? These are usually a warning sign that something is wrong with the electrical system. If you are having light issues in your Audi, call us before you get stranded. The two main causes of light issues are electrical defects and worn out alternators.

Alternator Issues

The alternator is critical to keeping your car running. The alternator works alongside the battery and helps to generate the power that your vehicle needs for all aspects of its electrical components.

Erratic Lights

Having erratic lights in your Audi can be scary. Lights are an important feature of a vehicle that can help to keep you safe. Headlights and taillights are important while driving and interior lights are critical when there is an issue detected with the vehicle. Often times, these types of issues are overlooked or not taken seriously. There are several issues that can cause lights to malfunction.

Flashing or Non-Existent Interior Lights

If your interior lights are flashing, this is usually a sign of a wiring issue or a battery malfunction. Sometimes an Audi’s dashboard and screen displays may also malfunction or burn out, leading to replacement. Wiring issues are hard to diagnose and need to be checked out by a certified mechanic.

Flickering or Flashing Headlights

This is a common issue with Audis. Flickering bulbs typically mean that there is a bad connection being made between the battery and the bulb. Most people believe that they have a bad bulb, but this usually isn’t the case. Fixing this issue is usually inexpensive and simple for us to do. It may involve replacing the bulb assembly.

Faulty Tail Lights

Having faulty taillights isn’t as common of an issue as flickering headlights, but it does occur. Taillights can flicker or they can become stuck, remaining lit. This problem is usually due to a faulty brake switch. We can take care of this problem quickly and easily.

Faulty Low-Beams

There are a few issues that can cause your low-beams to malfunction. There could be a bad bulb, faulty fuse, or bad wiring. We can properly diagnose your issue and take care of the problem.
