Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Sun Sensor 2
« on: 06 March 2024, 07:49:52 »
Does anyone have any experience with the connections for the dash top mounted sun sensor? Particularly the pins, cables and the plug? My broken one has only two pins in the centre, the replacement I sourced has 3 pins (only one of these matches a pin location on the old one) and the plug has a notch on one corner so that it won't connect to the plug in my car.
I remember the wiring loom has only 2 wires to the plug , even if i sourced a matching 3 pin plug i would have difficulty figuring out the connections.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Sun sensor
« on: 13 February 2024, 13:11:40 »
Hi,
Would anyone have a spare dash top sun sensor or know where I might be able to buy one from?
I broke mine when taking the dash out last year.
A general Google search and eBay search doesn't find one.

General Car Chat / Slave security alarm
« on: 04 October 2015, 20:47:56 »
Has anyone ever heard of an aftermarket security alarm that can be slaved off an immobiliser set up?
My peugeot van has a keyfob which when pressed locks the doors, flashes the indicators and arms the immobiliser. It's not an alarm though (which I found out when it was broken into). I would like some alarm thing that i can link to the immobiliser, with some interior sensors to fit, and doorswitch or voltage monitoring. So when connected, simply applying power would make it work. hopefully.
I don't want something that comes with a fob. I have a fob, i don't want two.

Any ideas or info is appreciados.

Just noticed some of the red coolant gathering on the front edge of the sump, mostly below the A/C compressor. (I had just done a small top-up when I noticed it).
Now yesterday I heard a mild whining coming from the timing belt area, I narrowed it down to the same side as the A/C compressor, before it went away.

Is the water pump driven by the cambelt?
I suspect water pump, car has done 90,000. Probably never changed.
Any help is apprehended.

Omega General Help / Air con dryer time limit
« on: 28 July 2015, 21:47:26 »
Does anybody know how long a new dryer will last when connected to a drained air con system?
I've replaced my condenser, and don't want the new dryer to become spent before the regas.
Do I have a short time limit?

Can anyone tell me what is missing from this radio multiplug? (CCRT700)
After removing the cage to do a satnav screen-mod I cant get the ****ing multiplug to locate in the back of the cage.
And to top it off I've now scratched my new screen. AAAAAAAArrrrrgh. ******ks.



I haven't found any bits of loose/broken plastic.
Please help.

Please

I am looking for a bezel containing the climate control '+' and '-' buttons and temperature digits. Just that bit. No electronics, not even the other 3 sets of controls.
I believe mine is a pre facelift, but to be clear, the black plastic round bezel I want is approximately the same size as the bottom of a can of coke (or beer).
Condition isn't too important as I want to experiment with it.

Admin: Please move to wanted section.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Powersounder Investigations
« on: 19 April 2015, 21:56:15 »
I recently began checking the car battery over in an attempt to find why it’s often in need of charging, and ended up removing the powersounder.

I’d discovered that the PS appeared to be drawing no current – a combination of current measurements at the car battery both with PS connected and then disconnected led me to this conclusion – and I’d seen the reports on here of PS fires and wanted to investigate mine, and avoid a surprise fire whilst away on holiday – and in fact at any other time.

Whilst testing I armed the car alarm, and after a minute or so I removed the battery negative lead, and nothing happened. No sound, no siren, not a squawk – except from me.

I removed it and started investigating. Some photos at the googledrive link below.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2DhCMiAZdPRNkVibHd5eWlBTnc&usp=sharing

After removal I tested at the PS terminals with a voltmeter and only obtained a reading of 0.2 volts dc (between terminals 2+4). I considered that the unit might be dioded to prevent discharge when the car battery goes flat, and that this may explain the almost no output voltage – also keeping in mind the reports of PS’s being discharged by flat car batterys – trying to keep an open mind.

So I opened it up, splitting the casing. I found the PS to be filled with a rubber compound, and clawed away at it with a screwdriver and managed to expose the surface of the PCB. I tested the ‘batteries’ soldered to the PCB and discovered 6.4 volts dc across both batteries and 3.2 volts across each battery, and at the time thought that this was reasonable.

I then read that 7.2 volts is expected across these batteries, and I do believe that to be correct. When I’m testing emergency lights I always find batteries made up of cells, each measuring 1.2 volts – and my PS has 2 batteries with 3 cells visible in each.

Strange that the reduced voltage didn’t just cause a reduced siren output.

Stranger that reports of combusting PowerSounders include descriptions of some filled with a rubber compound- like mine.!
 I decided to put this to the test by throwing a piece of the removed compound onto the barbeque. The edges of the piece glowed red at the very tips, but did not burn. At all.

Maybe this compound is intended to be a fire resistant measure?

So what to do next. I cant get enough of the compound out to remove the PCB intact. The compound appears to be all the way under the PCB, where the siren is.
I’d like to remove the 2 cells and replace them,
I’d like to inspect the electronics to see if it’s charging circuit is faulty. And I’d like to get it back in working order and fitted to the car – right now its outside in case it combusts, and wrapped in plastic bags to keep the rain off. (the sounder I mean, not the car).

Any feedback / comments / suggestions are most welcome.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / towbar sockets perm live
« on: 05 April 2015, 17:17:54 »
I was expecting one of the towbar sockets to have a Permanent 12v on one of the pins. I'd like to use it to plug in a trickle charger to keep the car battery maintained when I'm on holiday.
Thanks to this forum I found fuse29 appeared to be for this and put a fuse in. But no joy.
Does anyone have any info / ideas / help?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone got any ideas where to find another pinout diagram? The old link mentioned above no longer exists.
Looking for pinout schematic for CCRT 700, I want to ditch the CD input to the head unit and use it for auxiliary input.
"INPUT. INPUT.
Need Input, Newton Crosby."
