Something strange happend after changing key sylinder on the left door (driver side).The starter does not turn unless I
pull out fuse #4.The fuse is for:Reading light,clock,luggage boot light,socket/front cigarette lighter,interior light,footwell lights,make-up mirror light,on-board-computer,anti-theft alarm,air conditioner controls,radio,power aerial,selector lever buzzer.After the engine has started I put in the fuse and
everyting is ok until I stop the engine and try to start it again.There is something making a klicking noise (likewise a reley) for about 20 sec.after i open the door.It seem to be from over the glove box somewere.This did'nt happen before Ii changed the sylinder.Can this fault have something to do with the alarm system ? Please help,,

Hello!

Have you connect the micro-switch? Have you insert a Cylinder vor Cars with Anti-Theft-System?
There are differences between the cylinders!

Perhaps a cable is broken in the door.

The sylinders was similar.There are no wires/leads connected to the sylinder.There is a micro switch on the door handle (door opener).I disassembled the main frame from the door to get some more space to change the sylinder.I may have damaged a lead or connection doing this.I will dismount the door panel and see if I can find the fault.Thanks,,

There is a indicator with a very small toothed wheel attached to the part that I was changing.This wheel must have been in the wrong posision when I mounted the new parts.Since the link between the key cylinder and the rod was broken I did't know and overlooked what posision it was in.The new part (link between cylinder and rod) I got from Audi was a improvement and made of steel,not aluminium alloy as the old one.The old and new parts wasn't similar,that is why I had to change the key cylinder also.Thank's,, and special thank's to Bastian Homburg.
