Hello all ! Hope your doing well.

Just wondering if anyone had a similar sit as mine and what was the fix?

I have a Audi A4 2016 b9 3.0 tdi. Unfortunately like a idiot I left the car parked up for around 6 to 8 months without starting or driving. Recently I have come to senses that my beautiful Audi needs to be on the roads again. Of course it needed a new battery so I purchased a brand new Agm battery. The car started absolutely fine with the engine sounding smooth as. I coded the new battery aswell. At the start the digital dashboard didnt turn on but shortly after it worked.

The issue I am now having is all the buttons, wiper stick, Indicators Stick, Horn, Adaptive Lights, cruise control are not working so basically anything to do with the steering its not responsive. The airbag light is also on. All the error messages are saying no communication. When i lock my car the indicators do work same as if I press the hazards so not sure. Ive also tried the left to right lock but no difference.

If you made it this far thank you I appreciate your time. I was wondering if anyone has any advice as im stressing. Im currently waiting to replace the fuse associated with steering collumn electronics but .....

Missed out important bit

This usually happens after a battery change or long disconnect. The steering wheel buttons, wipers, indicators, horn and cruise control all run through the steering column control module. If the scan shows “no communication,” it’s often a blown fuse, lost coding after the battery change, or a loose connector/clock spring. Id probs check the steering column electronics fuse and try a full fault scan. if it still dont work maybe the clock spring or steering column module may need a replacement?

Thank you for your time to reply. I will try

The fuse for the electronics surprisingly is the only one showing 1 amp (grey) its difficult to find so ive ordered online once I change i will update what happens

Thanks for all your time
