Audi Climatronic System have a sync feature thanks to which you can control all climate zones in your car with just a single temperature knob.
Just press and hold knob on the drivers side and the sync will activate.
Take battery cable off for 5 mins, then put battery cable back on. Insert your key into the ignition turn to on but don't start the vehicle wait 5 seconds turn back off repeat the key on/off three times. This initiates a re calibration of climate control equipment and actuators. It will fix your problem.
resistor is working but switch is bad. You can get a new switch from autozone for $20. Here is autozone procedure for pulling the control panel. Let me know if you have questions.
Disconnect battery negative cable from battery and properly isolate to prevent accidental reconnection.
Pull the instrument panel console bezel forwards and disconnect the electrical connectors.
Detach the temperature and air distribution blend door Bowden cables from the climate control assembly.
Remove the climate control assembly.

The valve (called the heater tap) which controls the hot water flow works from engine vacuum. The climate control unit turns vacuum on to close the valve and turns vacuum off to open it, if the vacuum tubing or vacuum service valve has failed, the tap will be open allowing hot water to flow. The same result applies if the heater valve itself has failed (which they do --regularly) Trace the water hoses from the enginebay firewall under the hood and you should find the valve. Check for cavuum at the valve with the climate control set to its coldest setting. If you have vacuum at the valve, replace the valve. No vacuum points to the loss of vacuum source or a faulty vacuum service valve with will be electrically operated from the climate control. Trace the vacuum hose from the heater valve back to the vacuum service valve and check if the valve has vacuum supplied to it. No vacuum means a vacuum hose has blocked, has a hole in it or has been removed from the manifold. If the electrical valve has vacuum, check for power. If power is present but still no vacuum at the heater tap, replace the service valve. If power missing, check fuses. If both wires to the valve show power present, have the climate controll unit checked by a professional..
Remove the shift console panel. Refer to Section 01-12 for the removal and installation procedure.

Remove the A/C switch electrical connector.
Depress the tabs on the A/C switch and remove the A/C switch from the climate control assembly.Twist and pull out to remove the A/C switch miniature bulb from the A/C switch.
I had the same problem on my 2004 GMC Yukon XL.
Still under warranty the shop was able to reprogram the climate control system and tell what was wrong rather quickly with a OBD computer.
That’s when they found both of the climate control (driver and passenger) side actuators were bad and the control unit that tells the actuators where they should be was also bad.
The truck was in the shop with most all the dash, seats, consol, and steering wheel out for a week. The cost was over $1200.00.
That has seamed to fix the problem. Good Luck.
