Omega Electrical and Audio Help / On going problem....

« on: 02 August 2013, 15:39:02 »

Further to my posting of 17 February 2013, For those who may be interested..
My CDX Estate is, now, slowly coming together (As opposed to falling apart)
The manifold, cat and exhaust have all been replaced. (A fairly easy job, all things considered) They were the originals and absolutely rotten, where they hadn't been blobbed or welded, that is.....
C/locking switches repaired...Rear track rod replaced (The bastages bent it, while supposedly doing the tracking....)
Passed the MOT first time....and all with the help of OOFs guidance (Ta muchly)
However upon checking the Keyfob, (It hasn't worked for a while), I discovered that some of the surface mounted components are now rattling around inside...As they are the size of sesame seeds and the track is peeling anyway, I think that it's about time to call it a day....
So...If there is anybody out there with a spare 2btn Megamos board, or fob....and a Tech 2, to work it's magic, I'm sure that we can come to some arrangement...(I have the Car Pass Card)
Incidentally, I managed to obtain a spare fob but it unfortunately it has a board marked as Kiekert 31, so if anyone wants it it's yours, if you want to pick it up...

Regards, Keith...

Thanks for the replies, guys. It's very much appreciated ...Yes I do have the Pass Card...Thanks for the offer Adey...I'll get back to you on that...As soon as I've had the new Ex/manifold fitted and got rid of a DTC 0304 misfire at low revs...I'm hoping that the new Manifold will cure it...If not, that'll need investigating...If it's not one thing, it's another...Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with a Tech 2... I have only a basic code reader, although that in itself, has saved me mucho dinero ...Anyhoo', I'll cross that bridge when I come to it...So it looks as if the whole Key Fob, Blade and Transponder combo needs to be reprogrammed... Yes ??

Regards, Keith.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Key fob......C/Locking problem.

« on: 17 February 2013, 20:12:40 »

I know I've only been a member for a few days, and I apologize for being intrusive...but, as with all Omega owners, I have a problem...(I think it may be mental) I've had three of these things...

OK, this is it...Let's see if I can categorize it...C/Locking is a bit dodgy but that'll be mainly down to servos or limit switches...Usual thing, passenger door won't lock or unlock with remote, or key in the driver's door, (have to do it manually) but that'll be the servo or wiring, I'll repair that...(done it before)...I was an Electronic Installation Technician, in a former life...For my Sins...(It's amazing how many people want PCs building or repairing. For nowt, of course)...But I digress...

All the doors, (except f/passenger) would lock with the key in the lock, set alarm and deadlock...

The back doors would lock and unlock with the remote and pop up again 'cos driver's wouldn't lock (not driver's or f/passenger, though...Servo/limit switch, Again) Remote would set alarm and deadlock, after locking with key in door......That's no problem, I just locked and unlocked with the key...And reset alarm once inside...Remote would close windows and S/Roof, so, OK there...

Then the fob stopped working....So, I took it apart, some one had repaired the battery holder with bridging wires but one had detached...so I resoldered it, properly ( I've done that before, as well)...New battery...fob working fine...But (and there's always a But)...now the c/locking steadfastly refuses to respond...at all...and Yes, I've tried re-syncing it......Nuthin'...

So, this is the main question, I can get my hand on a replacement fob, however, the question is...Is it a simply a matter of transferring the original blade and transponder to the new fob or am I going to have to get the whole nine yards reprogrammed. Because even though it appears to be working, (Led operating) I think that the original fob PCB could well be fried...
The key is still locking and unlocking the car and is OK in the ignition...But it would be nice to have remote C/Locking that actually worked...especially as I have only the one key...
Oh, and incidentally, the power sounder doesn't operate, just the indicators flashing...I think that this may have been an on going problem and that's why it's been rendered inoperable...Or there may, simply, not be one, I haven't had a look yet...

I've only had this Omega a coupla' weeks...Ongoing Project...new Ex/Manifold, tomorrow...Its blowing...
So, if I can pick your brains and if there's any one out there with advice on the fob, It would be appreciated...Perhaps Mr. Imber may have some input, here...

I've trawled the forum and my apologies if it's been covered before....but there doesn't appear to be be a problem, quite as complicated as this...

Car 2003 2.2 CDX Estate...Two button fob...If that helps...I live under no illusions... It's gonna cost me, what ever it is

Regards,Keith.

Newbie Welcome Area / Re: An Oldie but a Newbie

Thanks for the Welcome people. I've amended my profile to display the magnitude of my decrepitude....But with the Blessings of that Great Oily Rag in the Sky, I've a few more fruitful and frustrating years to attain the formidable goal of having an Omega that doesn't give one a little (but expensive) surprise now and then.....
As Cliffo B says, "It keeps you young"......but as for "Senile never"......Er, I'll let you know......

Best regards, Keith.

 Just thought I'd say Hello....I've been reading your forums for quite a while & I'm pleased (If that's the right word) to see that all you guys seem to have the same problems as I've had with these old buses, & provided quite a few brilliant answers.   Incidentally, I'm now on my third Omega, which must prove something, even if it's only that I'm slowly going Senile.... Keep up the good work.....

Regards, Keith.
