I turned on my car and tried to turn the head light on, but they didn't come on. I then attempted to turn on the high beams, and they didn't work, then I tried to blow my horn, use my turn signals, and they didn't work. I've checked all of the fuses for each unit that didn't work, but the fuses were all good. My hazard lights, and side marker lights work. I'm able to roll my windows up and down. I went to a shop that told me that it's probably my Body Control Module, can someone inform me on whether that's the issue?

Without doing some testing I can't tell you what's going on. Do you have a multi meter to do some testing?

First of all, thanks for the response to my question, Secondly, don't have a multi meter tester, so I assume I must let a repair shop use a multi meter tester to determine the source of the problem huh? If it is the Body Control Module, is that a common problem with these Audi A6 Quattro 2.7 (S Line)?

Yes you will have to check all the inputs and outputs on tw bcm for the inop circuits.I can't tell you if its common for the bcm to fail on those cars. But I can tell you it is common for bcm to fail on a lot of different make cars. They run a lot thru a small computer especially power input and outputs so they do fail over Time. Let me know what they find.
