Do you have a multimeter or 12 volt test lamp handy?

The engine cranks but doesn't run? At the same time you do not have lights. Does that include head lamps?

If you have ever tried to read VW/AUDI track schematics, they are really difficult to interpret. If the starter is operating you should have power to the ignition switch. Just have to figure out what the other stuff you mentioned that doesn't work has in common.

There is a module in the vehicle called a comfort control module which is another name for a body control module. It controls various body functions such as lamps, window, lock, etc. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have the module scanned to see if it alive and communicating. There also might be some other computer modules that could be storing trouble codes that might help isolate what is going on. That bad part is the module can only be accessed by a high end scan tool or the factory scan tool. You'll probably have to get it to a repair shop that has that capability or a dealer to see what is going on. We could be checking circuits all day long, but we won't know if there are any modules that are down without communicating with them first.

When you tested the battery, how was it tested? Are the battery cables clean and tight?
