Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Alarm and the use of the indicators *Update*

*Update*

Spent the day yesterday sussing why the alarm didn't seem to be working on the Black omega.

Discovered yesterday the alarm horn connector contacts were seriously corroded from water getting in, at first i wasn't sure the horn worked so i plugged it into the loom on my car near the power sounder and tested made a nice racket.

Cleaned the contacts on the Black omega alarm horn connector and plugged in the horn and tested all working but I think I need to replace the sensors as one has been hit and the clips that hold it in place are not the best.

Originally you could just sit in the car and nothing would happen, first sign the alarm was functioning before the actual horn worked was you could hear the relay clicking from inside the car.

Now the sensors work and the horn sounds when the sensors are activated.

Not bothered about the indicators part so long as the alarm works.

Having discovered mine only has the powersounder not sure if it should have both so any confirmation would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Roy :)

Different horn to car horn, should be mounted near power sounder, which you've aready found...

Cheers for the Confirmation Theboy, i am guessing if it is disconnected it could be faulty or something, shall comfirm all is connected and go from there.

Just wondering why it would be disconnected. Still time will tell.

Alarm horn should go off - has it been disconnected?

Where abouts would this be located, is it connected to the cars main horn or is it seperate?

The power sounder am I right to think is located under the scuttle on the drivers side.

If I can confirm I am going for the right one I shall make sure its connected.

Right been a while since I last looked at this thread, so I thought I would update a little.

It appears the power sounder goes off when reconnecting the battery, but the internal sensors do jack all.

Am i right to think the horn should go off when the internal sensors are activated.

Tried sitting in the car with windows shut, lock the car the little red light flashes but nought happens if I move about the car. Guessing the sensors are knackered shall swap one from mine to test.

Test the sensors, see what happens.

I reckon the relay or associated connections that controls the indicators in the ATWS is donald ducked - but I will check if there is any config via tech2 over weekend.

Cheers TheBoy :)

As TheBoy already stated, the PowerSounder will only sound if someone has tried to fiddle with the electrics. i.e. disconnecting the battery.  ;)

Sorry Kev gotcha, so alarm is working as it should only remember now the power sounder kicked in when reconnecting the battery once caused a right racket.

I wonder why the flashers dont work when locking and unlocking the car, should I worry about it?

Do you think its worth testing the sensors still?

Also, having the towbar removed shouldn't necessarily effect the alarm function, depending on where the connections were made of course.  :o

You have said the indicators and hazard functions are all ok, so i reckon it's unrelated.

The towbar electrics were connected in behind the plastic trim along the backend of the boot.
Then the towbar removal is definately unrelated.

Cheers for clearing that one up :) for some reason I thought it maybe related in some way.

Shall see about doing further testing without pressing the red button see if the powersounder goes off.

You DON'T have to press the button to enable the sensors. They are on by default, pressing the button before exiting the car and arming the alarm inhibts the ultrasonics.

Thats where I am going wrong [smiley=embarassed.gif] [smiley=lolk.gif]

afaik, prefacelifts dont have occupancy sensors.
My '96 P reg had the internal sensors, the sensor was on the door pillar, just above the drivers head, and, on the dash, a button to switch them off. Or so it said in the handbook. :-?
 

Thats what the 94M black omega has just like mine only I know mine work.

Its the black one that concerning me.

When the alarm is active the little red light on the button flashes so I guess thats a good sign.

Could it be possible dead internal motion sensors.

Not unless the previous owner had them disconnected for wahtever reason.

The indicators should flash when in an alarm condition. How would you be able to tell which car was sounding in a car park for example.

The ultrasonics are on by default. You can disable the ultrasonics by pushing the alarm button on the dash before leaving the car. The red light will flash a different sequence before arming. You shouldn't need to do this under normal conditions though unless you were leaving your pet inside, or leaving the windows open.

Set your alarm as usual, but leave one of the windows down, this will allow you to reach inside once it is set. You will know it is set when the light starts flashing at a slow steady rate.

I know you can't deadlock the car if the seat occupancy is active, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't have any effect on the ultrasonics.


Right so i have a problem the lights, they were not flashing when the alarm went off.

I tried as mentioned above locking the car with the drivers door window open, even pressed the little button with the doors shut to enable the sensors before leaving the window open and turning on the alarm before testing and got nothing I am guessing there a wiring issue somewhere.

Possible wiring defect having had a towbar removed.

Any Ideas anyone.

Now not sure if there is any truth to it but I was told a little while ago that if the indicators flash when you lock and unlock the ECU is configured for Germany which is illegal in this country and would need changing using Tech2.

My car does the above, where as the Black omega I have the indicators don't flash when locking or unlocking.

I personally am not bothered whether they flash or not.

Has anyone ever heard of this before?

Feel free to move if in the wrong place :)
I believe it's the ones that make a loud beeping noise, when they are activated, that have been banned; and it wasn't a minute too soon; there's no problem with the indicator lights flashing.  ;)

Cheers TheOutcast I had my doubts was just wondering if there was any truth.

From testing the alarm last night on the black omega the indicators and hazards work but part of the alarm doesn't.

Or is it a case of the old style was not as advanced.

Any Ideas

Did you get round to trying the black meega to see if it flashes whilst sounding?

Concerned now, Indicator flashers work when the hazard switch is on and when using the standard indicator left/right, but I was testing the alarm last night and I dont think the internal sensors work.

I tried locking myself in the car and pressing the switch to turn on/off the internal motion sensors to no avail nothing.

Locked myself in the car the little red light flashes and tried using the key in the ignition and all hell breaks loose using the horn, trouble is have been unable to get the power sounder to go off.

Any Ideas as to why the Internal motion sensors and power sounder are not doing what they should.

Would the alarm setup be slightly different as this has the old infra red alarm type where as mine has the frequency type one..

If I remember, tonight I'll connect up my 1998 MV6 and see if there are any country specific options in the ATWS. I don't recall seeing any...

Cheers for that, I think my car doesn't need need to go on anyone else tech2 having had it put on yours.

No problem since.

Cheers again :)
