2007 Audi a4 quattro cabriolet comfort control module replacement tips

tips on how I replaced my ccm. there are many good videos of people pulling them out but wanted to give my perspective on how I did mine

[@edsparts9787]

This is great information, my man. I own an Auto Parts company and we support tons of customers with fuse and battery problems. I just got the same car you have - fun car for the upcoming summer - and it has the same issues yours had. I'm troubleshooting and came across your video and it points me in the direction I need - thank you. I'll follow up with end result here in a couple weeks. Thanks for sharing! EDS Parts

[@indiancc1204]

Yes let me know how it goes and if you have any questions!

[@crayholt8276]

Good work and thanks for all the research.

[@Grimisk]

Man I have been searching for someone having this issue. My 2008 has this same issue. Thank you so much!

[@indiancc1204]

Yeah no problem. I wanted to make sure people knew they could do it on their own and not pay 1400! Once I got myself out there doing it...it was easy. Hope the video helped.

[@ajkaiser9333]

Thanks for the info. Really saved me in a jam. My 2008 A4 Cab. driver side window was stuck down and wouldn’t move up and a heavy rainstorm was coming. I knew there wasn’t anything wrong with the window hardware. I pulled #24 fuse and re-inserted it. Power cycling activated the window again and it went up. Kept me dry. Going to replace the comfort control unit because everything you said wasn’t working is happening to my car right now.

[@indiancc1204]

Do you have a roof leak? Or have you checked your drain hole underneath the battery? I've read where some people had partial failures with ccm. One guy was able to dry his ccm out and it worked. But yeah? It takes less than 10 minutes to check it...just to be sure. When you lift your carpet up, you will know immediately if your ccm is wet. Also I was able to puth down on the carpet and felt it was wet and also a squishy sound

[@kendalwilliams839]

Thank you. Making the point that getting that last letter right when searching for parts was really helpful.

[@indiancc1204]

yeah for sure. I put a lot of time into looking...understanding what to look for...etc. Im glad it helped you. Good luck with your audi!

[@jonking7345]

Dude, thank you so much! I haven't tried to get to the module yet, but not having to remove the seats.. so much of a Time saver!

[@indiancc1204]

For sure! I did not want to do that either. I kind of wish I would have taken everything apart to show how I did it but it's good to know that it helped you!

[@jonking7345]

I just watched the video again, getting ready to check mine. It's like you're sitting in my car, ridiculous roof t-handle out, fuse cover off... The engineering on these cars is overly complicated and not thought out. A note to you, my floor was soaked because the back window glue had failed. Check yours! So, the battery drain is only ONE way the ccm can get wet... These guys are idiots Thanks again, I'll let you know what I find

[@indiancc1204]

@@jonking7345 thats funny you said that. I just tried to glue my back window on yesterday. Mine is barely holding on in two spots. I tried marine glue and it didn't attach well. I'll give it another attempt tomorrow. If the carpet is wet, I'll bet anything your module got wet. Just be confident. I can change it out in 10 minutes now. Once you get in there and so it once...its extremely easy. The hardest part was trying to hold the carpet and open the box. Wedging it solved that. Make sure you check all your 20amp fuses also! Mine was blown. Doors worked but lights and roof didn't after I replaced module. The convenience fuse was blown. Let me know and good luck!

[@jonking7345]

@@indiancc1204 I wouldn't recommend bothering with stuff that isn't meant for the job. Get some 3M Window Weld and some 3M Single Step primer. That window attachment is put under so much stress when the top goes down. I have some of both left if you happen to live in Ohio. It goes bad after a little time, like a week, once it's been open. Both are available on Amazon. If you look up the Single Step primer on KZbin, you'll find videos of people doing, guess what car?

@@jonking7345 the price of driving a convertible right? Lol well I got mine because the quattro is damn near the best all wheel drive you can have. And on those 85 degree days...letting the roof down is like a dream. So I guess we have to take the good with the bad. Ill try that today want you suggested

[@johnboy46077]

Fantastic video and detailed explanation. I am pondering buying a A4 that the roof and windows don't work and like you mentioned I had rough estimates of thousands and then the reprogram... Very helpful information and gives me a better idea what to expect.

[@indiancc1204]

They are beautiful cars. Even with the small issues you get. It's my most favorite vehicle that I've owned. If the roof and windows, interior lights don't fade off then you close the door...they all point towards the CCM. It's an easy fix once you do it. I struggled the first few times because I didn't know what I was doing but now I can change that mode out in 10 minutes. Check the comfort control fuses also.that affects the roof also. If it's the module..its worth buying for sure!

Thanks g this helped me same car same problem

[@timdodd979]

My '99 Passat's sunroof control was there also. Mine was underwater when I found it. Evidently the windshields leak. I simply drilled a small drain hole in my floor next to the module.

[@indiancc1204]

I did think about that. The Audi's supposedly have rubber drain plugs that you can pull out and let water drain. I was thinking just pull them out and leave them out

[@chinalinn0332]

Is this covered by comprehensive insurance it fried my comfort control Module?

[@donmilks8342]

Great video! Super helpful. I Picked up a 2007 A4 Cabriolet that had the same problem. Comfort control module damaged from water. Did you have to have your key reprogrammed? I see some people saying that you have to have the dealer reprogram it. I assume if you do it would only be for the window/top operation from the key in the door but I'm not sure. Thanks again!

[@indiancc1204]

The key is still not working. I fixed it before when I first got the car but that was with the original CCM. There are many variations online and on the internet on how to reprogram it but to date nothing has worked. I guess just having everything work again and not have paid $1400 makes it easier to just have the key as my only issue.

[@tianyumao2089]

Thanks for your sharing! I’m having the same problems with my b7, CCM submerged in water. Your tutorial does save me a lot of time! Quick question though, after replacing the module with a same one, do I have to reprogram or recode the car?

[@indiancc1204]

You shouldn't. Everything should work. The only issue I've had is with the key not working. Everything I've tried hasn't worked. The only thing that didn't stop beeping was the roof. It turned out to be the comfort control fuse. Thought I checked them all. Changed that and all my warning lights went away.

Thanks so much - any tips on fixing the drainage to prevent the footwell from filling up?

[@indiancc1204]

hi Bill. My drain hole underneath the battery was clogged. all that I did was pull the battery out, and clean out off the leaves, etc that had built up over time and decomposed. it almost was a mud like substance from decomposition. I used a screwdriver to get stuff in areas I couldnt get my hand into. I did not have a good vacuum to clean it so I basically used my hand and towels. It was a lot there! the hole was completely covered with dirt. I bought it used 2 years ago so Im fixing a lot of stuff as I go with this Audi. Just be thorough when cleaning it. I got out as much as I could get. then I took a screwdriver and stuck it down into drain hole to make sure it was clear. there was leaves in the rubber boot that the hole has on it underneath. and now on occasion, I pop the hood and check to make sure everything looks good. give that a try!

[@BillJankowski]

@@indiancc1204 - Ours flooded out after a combination of Henri and Ida, and I’d been gradually doing what I could to dry it out. After a week in the garage with a fan blowing through, it was still on the fritz, so I did some more googling, and learned about the CCM . Sucked another gallon of water out from under the floor, and had water drain out of the CCM when I lifted it up. My CCM looked much like yours, except had a whole bunch of silt inside. I’m still waiting on the new CCM. My key fobs have never worked since I picked it up 2 years ago. NBD, since it’s a sometimes car, but I may see if I can get them working again after. Re: the drain - once I got the battery out, it was super apparent where it was - big, giant hole in the center of the battery tray (Still under about 3” of water after two weeks). Poked it with my finger, and that clog sloshed down and onto the garage floor, then shop vac’d out the rest. Thanks for this video -

[@indiancc1204]

@@BillJankowski same here. My key fob is the only thing that I can't get to work. But I can live with that compared to my windows and roof not working. Wow that's crazy to hear about the weather you dealt with. We have had some crazy heavy rain. The area has flooded 4 times this year and multiple power outages from from thunderstorms. I also am now using my car cover I got on ebay for $25. That helps a lot when we get heavy rain. Good luck and enjoy the car bill!

[@BillJankowski]

@@indiancc1204 Since the car is not super new, and since I was a Jeep guy several decades ago, I’m tempted to just grab the 1/4” bit and some rustoleum and add a drain hole in both the drivers and passenger side foot wells. Ordered a replacement soft top (I’ve got a 17 YO kid who’s semi-handy, and who I want to have projects to work to move them from semi- to actually handy), so hopefully that’ll buy me another decade. I’m also super fortunate in that we have a 2 car garage that we can actually get 2 cars into (unless there are bicycles strewn around because it’s cycling wether), so in the future, if it’s rain, the 4 door without a sunroof will be in the driveway, and the ragtop will be in the garage with the car with the moonroof.

you hear clicking where? Do your interior lights fade off after closing the door? Do your windshield wipers work? What message do you get when you try to open convertible top? all of those questions will help you figure out the problem. Did you buy the CCM new? And the Suffix letter matched the previous one? Check the fuse also. there is a Fuse that controls some parts of the module. Let me know

Did you have to take it to Audi dealership to Program it or was it just plug and play by getting the same part #?

As long as you get the exact part number everything should work fine. It's when some people try and save money and get a module that cost less but has a different part# that they run into issues. So yes...plug and go

Yes they told me the same thing! They said my insurance company would total it. That's ridiculous. Car ran great, all I needed were my windows working lol. So I decided to do it myself. I kept my wires. My wires were wet...and I wasn't sure if it would work or not. But they worked fine. The biggest key was getting all the water out and letting them dry off a bit. Other than that, lifted carpet, didn't remove seat, module is right there. It's easy once you do it. Just make sure you get the exact same model number. Also check all your fuses. My roof didn't work after I changed module. It was the comfort control fuse. After that everything worked great!

Ebay for sure! I got lucky because I couldn't find my model number for 2 days. I typed it in differently and one popped up! The only one available. I did not want to pay 350 for it...being I was seeing some for $50. But I had no choice. To buy one new it would have been $700. If you find your module number and need help let me know

[@nikkischuilingrealestate6326]

Also, what if the wires are also damaged? I'm worried that if I replace the module I'll still have issues if the wires that connect to it got wet as well.

[@indiancc1204]

Hi Nikki. Well the best way to find out is to try it. I had the same concern that you did but it's cheaper to fix on your own than take to a a shop. My shop wanted to total my car! Or to fix I was quoted $1400. I had the money for that....but I wanted to atleast know for me that it wasn't the module. Shops will want to replace everything that got wet...even if it is ok. The wires on mine got wet...but I got all the water put and once I did that everything worked fine

[@indiancc1204]

My module was $350....seems like I had the most expensive and rare ones. I found every module online except mine initially. Best thing to to...atleast find the model number on your module...find a used one. Hopefully yours is one of the $40 ones I kept seeing...and give it a go. I can say I'm happy I did because I saved a lot of money

[@louisgabrielle2154]

I have a 2008 Audi A4 quattro convertible and my driver side and rest of my rear windows don't work except the front passenger side window and light works. The convertible top and radio don't work either. Can it be the same issue you had or can it be just a blown fuse?

[@indiancc1204]

Yes check your fuses first. I think I said in the video I did that after I replaced module, my interior lights didn't work. I checked fuses and it was blown. I'd check that for sure. Should be a 20amp. Did you pull up your carpet and check the module? If you see any water there, it's possible that module is bad my concern is the radio. If I'm not mistaken, the radio is not controlled by the comfort module. As a matter of fact, when mine was out of the car, the radio worked fine. Thats strange for just 1 window to work. Does your interior lights come on and fade off after shutting door? That convience fuse controlled my roof and interior lights. So, go thru all your 20 amp fuses first. Then I'd pull the carpet up and check underneath it is very simple to do dont think if it as a big project. Should be 1 screw. Let me know what you find out

[@indiancc1204]

I just remembered something. There is a module called the BCM. It controls the radio and other things. That one is under the steering wheel.

@@indiancc1204 Thank you for replying back. The interior lights do work and shut off right after a little while when the car is not on. I think that's normal. The only window that works is on the passenger side using its own power switch so that's the only window I can open and close. This car was originally own by my sister and she didn't want to fix it to much money instead she bought a newer smaller Smart car. She gave it to me and I want to take up the project in hooking it up from body kits to better aftermarket rims. It needs a new paint job and body work. The interior looks brand new except for the bottom rear seat with some little rip holes. The electrical part been an issue since my sister had the car in the garage for 2 years. She didn't use it at all. After she got it on the road she change the brakes and a few other things in which it was expensive. It definitely needs an oil change and tune up. I also think The windshield washer fluid Reservoir have a leak since I put some washer fluid liquid it all came out. It could be some hose. I hope it's a hose with a leak because the Reservoir it's not that cheap. The mechanic told me u had another leak it's not as bad to fix just 300 dollars. I wish everything to fix is close to that price. One thing I know is that fixing an Audi it's mad expensive.Lol

[@indiancc1204]

@@louisgabrielle2154 yes its why I did my own work. To replace the module it would have been around 1200-$1500. Used parts are not to bad to find so that makes it easier if you do it yourself. Worst case scenario is that you have a short. The sad thing is, you might have to replace things one by one before finding out what it is. Your lights fade off and a window is working so the module is working, but it's possible it's malfunctioning. The bcm can be malfunctioning because of the radio.

Do I have to use diagnostic to programm the unit?

[@indiancc1204]

What caused you to replace the original CCM? Did it get wet and short out or did things stop working out of the blue without flooding? In my case and others, flooding occurred and the CCM got wet and shorted out. So I knew that was the issue. If you put the original one back in, do the other doors work? Windows? You have to troubleshoot as much as possible to narrow things down.did you buy the module used or from a dealer? I would reach out to them and ask if it is already programmed.

@@indiancc1204 i bought that from the shop for 225$, when I give back the old one, I can again close the doors with the central locking. I think the CCM I bought needs to be programmed via diagnostic, I read somewhere it is made to prevent the stealing of the car

[@indiancc1204]

@Doom1n_music yes then that's a start for sure. Seems like something is not correct with the new CCM. I find that strange that it would be sold. From everything I've read it's programmed to fork with the numbers that is on it out the door. Plug and play. I haven't seen anyone say that bought a new one and had to have it programmed. The numbers would make no sense if that was the case. I just read thru a few forums and I see everyone say they bought a new one and plugged it in and it worked.

I dont want to keep having you spend money on parts but unfortunately you have to go through things one by one until its fixed. the windows and convertible top are the ccm. what message do you get when you hit the roof? if It says "soft top can not be used" thats a fuse or the ccm. the Bcm stopped my windows from working all together. some people have reset their windows. once I tried all those steps I knew there was something else wrong. Check youtube for window reset..just in case. but ultimately, your BCM might be bad. the ccm and bcm control different things. There is a video on youtube of a guy who fixed his wipers and lights after replacing BCM. if.....you want to take it to a shop and have them run a scanner it might tell you specifically where your problem is. Id replace the BCM next. after that you have a bigger problem that could be wiring....or more

Is that the only thing not working?

[@indiancc1204]

If it's only your wipers, check your fuses. If all the fuses are good then the wiper motor may be bad. Mine didn't work because of the CCM. Once I replaced it everything worked great. If your wipers are the only thing not working then it's a fuse or motor hopefully. Depending on the year of your car, it could also have a BCM which is under your dash. The BCM can also cause issues with wipers. But like I said when those modules go bad it's usually multiple things that go bad at once.

You can try it but more than likely if it had water damage it fried itself. I saw one person say he dried his out and it worked. My board was damaged. Had a small fire

[@Brandon-id1td]

So I just replaced mine and it still didn’t work ? What’s the next step?

[@indiancc1204]

I'm not an expert on this but I can only tell you how I knew mine was the issue. When mine went out, I had multiple issues. But when I opened and closed my door, I could hear the windows slightly move. That's something that these audi' s do. So I knew the motor was working for the windows. Second checking module was initially exploratory. Then of course, I saw it got wet, and caught on fire. So mine was pretty obvious. Did yours get wet? Did it catch on fire? Is your roof not working? Interior lights?

[@indiancc1204]

If the module is bad none of those will work. Did you replace it with the exact model number?

[@tdog9150]

I’m chasing the same issue , I replaced the front Whéel bearing , and all undercarriage , disconnected the battery , for cleaning and inspection , then windows stoped working , no up no down , nothing , all windows and sun roof , checked fuses and relays , no issues ,, I’m thinking this module ,

[@indiancc1204]

Did your car flood at any point? The issue we most have run into is having convertibles and water getting into the car...flooding the floor...which is where the module is. It's easy to get to and check. But yeah...those issues would fall under the ccm

[@tdog9150]

Not sure , it had a window issue when I bought it and prev owner had it fixed , but now it’s broke again , so I’m chasing it , going to remove door panel , and look for voltage , I do have a window lock light , that won’t go out , I think their is voltage their but not sure , need to inspect ,

[@indiancc1204]

@tdog9150 you have a light that's not cutting off? If so...that was how I figured out what was happening. My battery kept dying. I bought a new one....it died in two days. That's when I knew something electrical was wrong. My CCM was shorting out...causing all kinds of problems

[@tdog9150]

That is the other thing , my scanner has no communication with ccu I think that what it said ,

[@indiancc1204]

@tdog9150 yeah I think your on the right path. Sounding more and more like the CCM. Doesn't hurt to pull the carpet up...and take a look.

[@Brandon-id1td]

How do you get the box off?

[@indiancc1204]

Which box? You have the outer box, and the ccm inside of it.

[@indiancc1204]

the outer box has the 4 clips that you push in to open the case. once inside you take ccm out of box. if you are referring to the box that covers the ccm, there are 6 clips you have to pry. once you get one to pop open the others are easy. take a screwdriver of pry the outer edge of case. it looks light but get something in between and pry. there are the 4 clips and then two on the side. prying under the outer case you will eventually get it off. the case is a hard plastic. dont worry about breaking it

[@rachbo80]

Hey mate, I’ve connected the new module, windows are now working and the boot now opens........the windscreen wipers aren’t working, any suggestions?

[@indiancc1204]

Did you check your comfort control fuse?. Check your fuses....20amp and see if your fuse blew. I thought i checked them all and after changing out module roof and wipers didn't work. Checked my fuse panel again and my comfort control fuse was blown

[@kimboDragon]

leaves block the drain in under the battery then fills up till it spills up through the heater fan box where the cabin air filter is then enters the car on the passenger side floor then keeps filling up until you find it. This happened to me . Really shitty design by Audi. thanks for the video I'm in the process of buying a replacement control module now.. hope it fixes the issues same as yours.

[@indiancc1204]

Good luck! I'm happy to see so many people doing it themselves. Hopefully it works. Reach out if you need more info on the process

[@rachbo80]

The connectors are fried!!!

[@indiancc1204]

Which connectors? That plug into the module?

[@indiancc1204]

I saw the harnesses on sell with connectors on ebay. I'm not sure if you will have to cut them off wire by wire...one at a time and replace or if the entire harness comes loose. That's not good news but if it's just the connectors it can be done

[@chinalinn0332]

Is this covered by comprehensive insurance it fried my comfort control Module?

[@indiancc1204]

My insurance company wanted to total my audi. The shop said if I bring it in, the insurance company will tell them to total it. That's how I got into doing it myself. You can check with your insurance company to see what they will say.

[@chinalinn0332]

@@indiancc1204 so they were going to give you a check I just want to phrase it to the insurance company so it is covered.

[@chinalinn0332]
