Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Front fogs on a 95 Omega.

« on: 16 September 2007, 17:19:19 »

I have just fitted a front bumper with f/fogs on my 95 2.0ltr gls. I have connected them to the plugs already there but they don't work. According to the haynes book the fuse is F16 20 amp fuse and nothing is there not even the wiring connections. My question is, is the front fogs on a different fuse or is it F16? If it is F16 then what would I need to do to get them wired in and work?

thanks in advance. Paul

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Window issue

« on: 16 October 2007, 20:43:02 »

Hi All,

I have a 2001 2.2 estate and the front passenger window is playing up. The window will go down but not back up. If you leave the car switched off for about 1 hour, turning on the ignition will close the the window
Is there some king of control box some where.

Looks like I need a manual, Are the "service" CD's sold on auction sites any good ?

Cheers

Or you could have the dodgy switch syndrome. You may need to replace the switch, I had the same problem with my facelift (when I had one that is, soon to have another) Replaced the switch and no more problems. If you know some one with a known good switch give it a try. Worth trying to eliminate the  problem.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Lights off with ignition?

My wifes Astra (2005 plate) does this. When you take the key out of the ignition the lights go off, but when you unlock the car the lights come on for a short period of time until you have got in the car. This should be fitted on all cars as standard.

I have boiled it down to either the door pin switches cos when I touch the door pins the lights go off the window switches or it could be the leccy window switch itself cos every now and then they will work with the doors closed. What do you people think?

Well all sorted out now as I thought it was the leccy window switches that were at fault.
Thanks for the help guy's

It is ONLY the front window's the rear are manual. The window's are supposed to open wether the door's are open or not.

Whilst I was pushing the cabling back to fit the new head unit in and managed to get it all fitted when I turned the ignition on with the door closed I was able to open the front windows. Could there be some sort of wiring for the leccy windows behind the heater/radio facia?

Are all your fuses OK? I had the same with my Senator years ago when a fuse blew for cigg lighter and others. There were 2 feeds for the Senators windows, soI would guess the Omega is similar.

Its the same for both windows, everything works except the leccy windows. As prevoius they only work when the doors are open, when the doors are closed the light is on faintly and the windows don't work even with the ignition on but when opened the light brightens. This is the problem thats why I thought it might be the switch but wasn't sure thats why I need some help

Isn't there a time delay device that allows the windows to be used after operating the doors regardless of the ignition switch setting?

Maybe this is working but there's a relay that feeds the windows when the ignition is on that isn't. Will have to have a look at the wiring diagrams...

Ok  :-/  Me and wiring diagrams don't mix so I cannot read wiring diagrams I am afraid.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / leccy windows won't work!!

« on: 29 July 2007, 16:50:35 »

I may have asked about this before but my problem is this.

When sat in the car with the ignition on the front windows won't work, but when I open the front driver's,passenger or either of the rear doors the window's will work. I thought this could be due to a broken wire but I am not so sure now, maybe its the switch I thought as well but I just don't know, this one has got me confussed I don't know what the problem is. I am at the end of my teather now due to when wanting the front windows open I need to open the door every time just to lower the window or close the window. This is going to create a problem when driving down the motorway at 70-80 mph, so one is needing help quickly.

Could this STILL be a broken wire or is it down to the switch? Please help someone cos I am fed up with burning myself flicking the ash out of the window but then realising I can't and burn myself.

Cheers Paul

Yep. Vauxhall's wiring differs from the standard so you need to swap these two over.

Kevin

Cheer's will do in the morning and let you know if works or need to get intouch with the insurance company for a new car!

So let me get this right, if I swap the red and yellow wires around on the ISO connector (on the radio) this should keep the memory for the programed stations AND turn on when I turn the ignition on?

I am putting this head unit in my 95 Omega, the thing is how can you connect it up to come on with the ignition and keep the station's that you program in? It tends to be a bit annoying every time I turn it on I have to reprogram the station time after time its just stupid. Anyone help?
