I was having the usual key insertion / removal problems, but the A/C was working fine.

I bought a Meyle switch for cheap, replaced the switch, and now the A/C and blower don't work at all. And the fuses are fine.

Could this be the fault of the cheap replacement switch?

Are the Audi switches really better quality, or do they have them made in China too?
