Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Front Fogs
« on: 12 June 2009, 17:06:07 »
Right the next job I have got to do is re-wire the fog lights from the original wiring to the wiring on the facelift fog lights. Now there is only one cable on the facelift fogs but two for the pre-facelift.
What I was thinking about doing was to link up the two seperate cables then run that to the single cable. Is this as easy as it sounds or would I need to have it with an inline fuse?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: charging problem
« on: 29 January 2009, 17:46:41 »
Hi all,
I had this problem as well but no battery light. I replaced the two leads that come from the battery one to the body and the other one that sits just adjacent to the power steering pully. Replaced both and no light coming on at all. Have you changed the lead behind and adjacent to the power steering pully it might be that one thats knackered.

We have a maintenance guide on how to service the lock barrels.......so when they start getting a bit sticky its worth spending 30 mins fixing it once and for all!
Tried this once before mark on another car many years ago. Due to what happened I decided to get another key and barrel from a scrap yard fixed the problem but I decided at that point That I would not take a barrel apart to lubricate it. Bad bad experiance, thats why I would just replace the barrel instead.

QuoteThe barrel was starting to become difficult to turn and sometimes wouldn't turn at all unless you took the key out a couple of times then put it back in then you could turn the key to start the car. I did put a secondhand barrel in which was supplied by a oof member which worked perfectly until that one stopped working properly so hence the new barrel as well. Then started the ignition switch saga.I'd have taped the imobiliser chip to a screwdriver first rather than fork out £150 for a new barrel
Paul
The £150 was for the new barrel and key (non chipped Key) car pass, ignition switch and chipped key as well all this cost my customer £194 inc vat, the £150 was to the company I work for had to get it all from the dealer on the company account to get it all, didnt charge for fitting it as done that previously plus done it at work as well!!

Just to let you all know I sorted the non-starting problem, It was the ignition switch all sorted and running.

I wil appologise now if this is in the wrong place.
Basically I can't get a friend omega started with the key, it's had a new barrel for the original key, fitted the new barrel (which only goes in one way) connected the ignition switch on and plugged the connector onto the ig switch. Now the problem is the car won't start with the key BUT will start by hot wiring the car, everything is still original.
Now my question is would the ignition switch be causing this problem or something else? Just to add when turning the key to number 1 position the ignition lights come on but turning the key to position 2 the lights go out and won't start
Any help will be grateful not sure what else it can be.
The car is a 2.0ltr S plate.
