Headlights and heater fan work, don't work

I was driving home last night and the headlamps and heater fan motor shut off, then came back on a few seconds later. It did it several times, and I hear a clicking inside the dash. Is there a relay controlling these items? It's a 1998 A3. Thanks.

Sounds like the ignition is going out.

Ya, it's either the igntion switch or the load reduction relay. Isn't the LLR one of the relays marked 53?

You're both right, it's the ignition switch

I jiggled it and everything came back on. Thanks.

This is just the start of troubles... Hope you have some money saved up.
Cost me $250 at the stealership. I had no choice. Raining, (in Seattle?), dark out and Scotty was working on the transporter.
I didn't have the patience to spend 6 hours on replacing it myself.
Good luck.
