Why cause this PROBLEM?
The Access Start Authorization lock module is a part of vehicle's steering column. Module failure is a common problem in Audi 2004-2009 A6/C6/S6 and Q7 model vehicles. The problem is typically identified by no start and no response from key in the ignition, or proximity access (Start button). The Start / Stop Authorization Module (along with the Electronic Ignition Switch) is responsible for key/transponder recognition, unlocking/locking of steering wheel and powering up all modules in the vehicle. If there is an issue with any of the lock module components (actuator motor, sensing micro switches, relay) or the integrated Immobilizer system Microprocessor/PCB, the module will not provide power to Terminal 15 (ignition on). End result, no ignition and no engine start. The module will typically store "00288 - Steering Column Lock Actuator Defective" fault.

Tips:
If the module from your car then NO ADAPTATION is required. Just put it back in when you change the parts.
If you already managed to reset this error by EOBD diagnostics the problem will most likely happen again unless you change the switches and relay.
There are some differences between this switch with spring plate and the original one,but the function is the same.You can buy it with confidence.
This kit will not solve the problem if the motor itself is damaged. You can check the motor easily with 12VDC supply. It happens rarely but it’s better to check.
