In my ongoing saga with this 1993 audi 90 quattro, the latest issue is that these all do not work;
-wipers
-parking lights
-turn signals
-power windows
-a/c or heat blower fan (entire climate control is black/blank)

however, the emergency blinkers do work! And the car seems to start/run/drive just fine.

in the past when this occurred, I tried jiggling the fuse box (in the engine bay by the driver) and it would usually fix this.

this makes me believe there is a faulty ground wire somewhere in the fuse box.

i've tried to find an electrical diagram for this car, but it doesn't seem to exist, does anyone know where I could get such a diagram?

thanks to all in advance!

Sounds like the load reduction circuit is not powered-up.

Could be a problem with the Ignition Switch or the Load Reduction Relay. Image attached.

Thanks for the suggestions! I thought i'd leave a follow up as we found the cause, it turned out to be the fuse box itself. Replaced the entire fuse box with a new one and everything is working correctly again. Thanks!
