Electrical Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Audi S3, 2022 Audi RS 3, 2022 Audi A3 Quattro, and 2022 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is safe to assume that everyone has been shocked at one time or another when coming into contact with a metal object. The reason for this is the build-up of static electricity in the human body. This charge can cause malfunctions when contacting the electrical components for the steering gear.
-- Touch a grounded object, such as a water line or a hoist, before working on electrical components. Do not make direct contact with the connector terminals.
