I took apart the turn signal...non stop ticking...in order to clean the contacts. Someone on the forum said it would help the problem. I pulled out the hazard switch. The thing is there is this small metal piece that keep the hazard down when you press it. It is a small metal rod bent into a 90 degree angle with small bends on each end. I can't figure out how to get it back in there. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks...

Wow I will reply to myself. The part was made in Germany! My friends talk all kinds of trash about how great their Audi and German car is and I have a broken part made in Germany. I can't win

The bent metal part fits into the plastic part with the bend away from you(as you look at the switch from the front-as in how it fits onto the steering column)The bend actually fits into the back of the hazard switch and locks it into the down position. You need to put the metal rod in to the plastic piece with the rod going up into the back (as close to the back of the switch assembly as poss.- only two ways it can fit) Insert the spring, you have the spring still right?, onto the spur iside the switch; put the switch onto the spring and, with the switch upside down, with one finger ensure that the metal rod is vertical and another finger push the hazard button into the multi-function switch. This is easier than it sounds-I just cant seem to put it into a more simpler play by play! (Maybe should do this before the pub)
Good luck.

P.S. In my switch the circuit board was coming away from the main housing of the hazard switch so I'll experiment to see if some crazy glue to hold it in place will make any difference.
