Ignition for a 1996 audi 6 it wont turn

Defective ignition switch.

You will need to replace the ignition switch.

TRY THIS IT MAY OR MAY NOT HELP.PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH TURN IT TO ON POSITION WITH THE ENGINE OFF.LEAVE KEY ON POSITION THE IMMOBILIZER WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATES FLASHES.IF WARNING LAMP TURNS OFF IN 30 SECONDS TRY CRANKING CAR.SEE IF IT RUNS WITH OUT CUTTING OFF IF SO.THE AUDI DEALERSHIP HAS TO REPROGRAM THE NEW IGNITION KEY. WHILE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION AND THE WARNING LAMP DONT STOP BLINKING THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO REPROGRAM KEY TO THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IMMOBILIZER.

TRY ANOTHER KEY. COULD HAVE WRONG KEY .IF KEY STILL WONT GO INTO IGNITION SWITCH.SOUND LIKE KEYLOCK CYLINDER IS BROKEN OR ANOTHER KEY BROKEN OFF IN SWITCH KEEPING YOU FROM PUTTING ANOTHER KEY IN SWITCH.

If you mean wont turn over, most likely its the neutral safety switch. If it turns over but wont start I suggest the coils have gone bad.

Did you found out the problem? i have the same problem and i want to find out,

The alarm module on the 1996 A4 (B5) is under the rear seat cushion.

Katielouiser I have the same icon come on each time i start my 1996 Audi A4 and if I don't wait till it goes off before starting the car it will immobilise the engine soon after starting. But if I wait till it goes off before proceeding with starting, the engine will continue to run till I stop and turn the ignition off- only to repeat this all over again when I have to drive somewhere again. It can be a pain when ones in a hurry, and embrassing to say the least when you have passengers.

HI,MARK,THE SIGNAL FROM YOUR KEY IS NOT GETTING TO YOUR IMMOBILIZER.THE PROBLEM IS MORE LIKELY AT THE PLUG ON THE READER COIL ON THE IGNITION.YOU WILL HAVE TO BEND THOSE TERMINALS SLIGHTLY CLOSED AND INSULATE THE WIRES SEPERATELY.THIS FEATURE IS PART OF THE VEHICLES SYSTEM UNFORTUNATELY,ANDY

You need a new inhibitor switch on the gear selector.
