My 2008 audi a5 is not getting any power to the key or anything in the dash area. It has power to passenger door an trunk lights come on but not much else. I have checked all the fuses I found but none blown. I'm hearing there are some on the battery cable itself, could this be where I need to check? Any help or ideas would be gladly appreciated.

I have a 98 with the same problem, I solved it by ordering new bulbs (9 total) from

make sure you get at least 9 and replace all the bulbs because as I would replace the ones that were burnt out it'd burn the old ones out. The original ones are orange I believe. Some of them looked fine but were actually burnt. Hope this helps!

Sounds like either the battery leads are on the wrong way round, or the starter main cable is touching something and shorting to earth. Retrace your steps and check your connection locations.
Either that or its a dead short through the starter. Remove main cable from back of starter and tape up incase of short. then reconnect battery. If ok now then your looking at starter motor.

Just found 2002 Liberty problem with lights and back tailgate door latch and interior lights and radio. Had them working off and on and then blowing Fuse # 34 off and on. Thought maybe BCM control module stuff. Turned out to be Drivers side Visor wiring crimped through and shorted out at the were it is attached to the ceiling.
Totally cut through. If you remove visor screws chech the wiring there. So far everything is up and running.
