Omega Electrical and Audio Help / strange goings on !
« on: 05 December 2020, 18:10:56 »
hi to all. my omega 2.6cdx 2003 has just begun acting wierd!
car drives fine,no warning lights,all seems fine except :
noticed yesterday that "lights on " warning buzzer was sounding albeit much quieter with key in but stops when ignition on or with key removed.also sounding with no key in if i put parking lights on ( again quieter thou)
today after further investigation found out that the interior light is staying on once you open the door or operate it from the light switch and wont go out unless you turn ignition on.
all is fine with engine running,map lights work ok and interior light will turn on and off with light switch if needed.
interior light still wont go off if warning buzzer is unplugged
warning buzzer still sounds quieter if interior light is unplugged.
warning buzzer works as normal if key is left in and door is opened and also if you leave lights on and open door.as it should.
car will lock and unlock with fob as normal but no red light on facia ( side of radio) and no deadlocking happenning.
all door lights are working normally and each door switch has been removed and checked .all double contact type with circuit to earth when released and clear to earth and each other when pressed.
removed fuse 12 marked as courtesy light and the other marked as courtesy light 23 i think ( as in manual)but courtesy light stays on even with fuses out.
has anyone any other likely suspects ?
thankyou

dress up in disguise and put them back in their gardens !
we confused the hell out of a neighbour of ours once who kept putting a lawnmower out on the pavement. he never locked his shed so we kept putting it back in !

« on: 16 November 2020, 17:14:47 »
as mr stemo says, i cant see the point in a sunroof. never have. if they were a bad rust trap area like on the earlier mk1 carltons,senators and mantas then the usual fix is to fit a complete" non sunroof " roof skin but seeing as omega ones dont rust up there il just leave it shut. !
besides. how much sun do we get to actually want it open ?

back in the day me and my then girlfriend used to spend many a happy afternoon swapping engines on vivas and chevettes. and managed many a cavalier unit minus head too. one leg each down the side of the engine bay and lift it up onto floor mats resting on the top of the front panel.
back when you could actually stand in a rwd engine bay .we could have a unit out and back in driving away in an afternoon. sometimes just for the curiosity of "havnt run that engine for a while ,lets fit it for a week then swap it back "
thats car enthusiasts for you .mad as hatters !
have got a crane now but prob would still attempt a viva or similar without it.

women from the 70's or 80's still manage to look more sensual and provocative than any that are in the media nowadays.no tatts,no stupid pumped up lips and no silly eyebrows. and covered up enough to create a mystery. now nothing is left for the imagination just in your face and vulgar.
and the car is none too bad either. marinas were ok .( fair enough we didnt know otherwise as they were the bread and butter cars) but id still rather drive one now than a current characterless eurobox !

and as mr johhnydog said previously if you intend keeping your car and have a bit of pride in its appearance its well worth getting the "coated" discs to avoid the unsightly rust on the disc boss which this time of year will start forming almost overnight !

« on: 22 October 2020, 17:03:38 »
just out of curiosity,when you say you checked all fuses did this include the large ones in the fusebox above the battery ? also hopefully you connected the booster charger + to the actual battery rather than any exiting leads in this said fusebox ?
sorry if you have already checked these !
