Hi Guys
I have a Audi S3 8v which has had some damage done to the steering column and some of the wiring harness/loom is missing that connects to key barrel and steering wheel
I need to get the car to a garage but cant move it because theres no ignition and cant release the electronic parking brake
Can someone please help me, is there anyway I can ‘hot wire’ the ignition? (key position 2) or is there a way to release parking brake without ignition?
The car was put in my garage as we managed to lock release the gearbox and put it in Neutral, but I made the mistake of pulling the handbrake up which now I cant release as I need ignition, everytime I pull it up the P lights up on dash but i cant release it as i cant get ignition on
Im not asking advice on ‘hotwiring’ in terms of starting the car up, I just want the ignition on (dash lights, electronics, etc) So i can release the parking brake and push the car out of the garage so I can get it recovered to a workshop
I believe theres a way of powering the motor behind the wheel but no idea on how to
Ps, I cant do an insurance claim as the damage happened while the car was uninsured
Pic of wires under steering wheel attached
Please help
Thanks
