Problem with the trunk warning light on the dash of my a3. flashing / indicating not closed properly, the trunk is defo closed though. must be the switch. but where is the switch? in the latching mechanism?
The sensor is in the locking mechanism, alot of vw and audis have this problem with the hoods and the trunks, you have to remove the panel where the mechanism is and disconnect the cable and leave it disconnected, the light should turn off

You didn't mention the obvious, fuses. In many euro cars there are multiple fuses for each light circuit, side to side, and inside to outside, so check fuses, even if it looks good, they can still be bad. Switch with same amp and color fuse with any other same specs to narrow it down. Fuses can be tricky believe it or not, and I can't tell you how many times people overlook the obvious, even mechanics.
Good luck,

Could be a fuse or a relay prob. Hopefully it's not an indicator stalk switch problem (expensive). If your hazard warning lights switch works then it's not the fuse or the relay. If your A3 is still under warranty then get your Audi dealer to fix it. If not it won't pass the 'MOT'. Get it sorted before someone rear-ends you while you're turning!
