To be clear, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118561 is not a confirmed fit for the 2014 Audi A5. This wiring harness fits 2012-2016 Honda CR-V. If you are looking for a wiring harness for a 2014 Audi A5 I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT.
In order to troubleshoot this problem I would first begin by checking the ground since it should be quick and simple. Make sure there is a good, clean connection to the ground surface. Assuming the ground connection is secure on the vehicle and trailer, I would determine if the problem is coming from the vehicle or the trailer wiring system.
Use a 12V probe-style circuit tester like # PTW2979 to check for function at the 4-Way plug on the vehicle side. Have a helper sit in the front of the vehicle to engage the functions while you test. If you find that a function does not have a correct power reading, test the wires from the vehicle side.
If any function does not have a correct power reading make sure that the wires are connected to the correct wires on the vehicle. If it is a plug-in harness, like the # 118561, make sure that the connectors are securely seated together and that there are no loose wires behind connectors.
I have attached a helpful article for troubleshooting 4-way connections as well as a review of the # 119250KIT for your reference.
