Default Gremlins??

I've had a few electrical things "pop up" in the last couple days, and was just wondering if its a tip of the iceberg kinda thing.

First, my info centre is saying the right rear tailight is out... however it is not. It works fine, signals, breaks everything so I dunno what thats about

Second. The sunroof... I can open it up and close it no probs, but when I want to use the tilt/vent option, it will open maybe half way. If I hold the button down, it opens properly, but a couple seconds later, it closes itself. Randomly.

Third. This ones been around for a while, but seems to be getting "worse"?? There is a creaking sound that seems to come from the glove box area. Sounds like an actuator opening or closing. It happens all the time. Even when the car is turned off. I've heard it in other people's A4's that I've driven so figured it was just something they did (stupid maybe, but the car is running great). Anybody know wtf that noise is?

Anybody with any advice... I thank you all in advance!

The tilt for the sunroof is a common problem (sounds like the possessed sunroof :P) , im pretty sure there's a DIY somewhere about how to fix that, has to do with the contacts for the switch. I also have this issue, but it comes and goes. http://www.a4mods.com/index.php?page...s/sunroof.html theres the link to the DIY

Thanks for the link about the sunroof.... i figured it was something along those lines, but great to have it all laid out like that. Cheers!

I've now got a check engine light, so I'm gonna get my baby scoped.

FYI to anyone, H2Sport has the APR software sale running til the end of November (noticed yesterday) if anyone's interested.
