« on: 07 December 2020, 19:13:39 »
obviously ive disturbed something somewhere or something was damp and has dried a bit but it would be nice to pinpoint it.
i will re do the footwell earths tommorow and also have a look inside the door connector plugs if only for peace of mind .and if i have time il remove the c/l ecu plug too.

That's normal.
hi nick.yes i assumed that was normal.just trying what doc told me to try. dont you just hate it when things start working without actually finding the fault !

hi to all. now im extremely confused. went to work in other car today leaving omega at home .
came home tonight. no alarm light flashing in omega as expected because alarm wouldnt come on. unlocked car got in and was about to start checking things.plugged interior light back in and after a few seconds it faded away and turned off like it should ! what the hell !!
so
tried it a few times and it comes on and goes off like it should every time. sat in car pressed fob to lock it and it locked but this time the alarm led was back to life again and deadlocking now working !.
plugged warning buzzer back in and that is still making noises when it shouldnt !.
but everything otherwise is working as normal.
so i checked for water in scuttle by pollen filter.all ok.
removed passenger side panel and lifted carpet.all bone dry.
removed drivers side panel and lifted carpet.all bone dry.
earth leads attached,clean and tight.
only thing i havnt checked yet is inside c/l ecu plug for any signs of water but all looks perfect around it .
so was it damp somewhere,is there a bad connection somewhere, i hate intermittent faults like this . will try my buzzer with by brothers to see if my buzzer is faulty / vise versa !
the buzzer makes it noise ( different,quieter) with key in any position other than out or ignition and the buzzer also sounds if you put the parking lights on which it never did before.

il have a closer look tommorow after work.
the door switch itself definately works ok and has been swapped for the also tested passenger side one so that eliminates that.
the light switch was physically in my hand so that eliminates that.( terminal 30 on its socket has a zero resistance to earth so thats ok and 31a which closes when switch pulled has a circuit to the buzzer and the roof light.)
theoretically. if the light switch,buzzer and roof light were disconnected / removed should the entral locking work ok including deadlocking ? or does it need to see the sensors in the roof light.i assume they are the interior alarm sensors .?

im pretty sure its not the light switch because even with it removed the interior light stays on .
not removed indicator stalk yet .it works the indicators as it should and works the parking lights correctly too and works the flash and dip/ main beam correctly.cruise also ok.what usually fails ?
tommorow i will check the alarm/cl ecu for any signs of water. and any wiring /earths etc in that area.
im confused about the central locking thou.i used to be able to get out of the car and close the door.interior light still on and be able to central lock and deadlock .
what is the condition it looks for before deadlocking besides knowing you have opened and closed the drivers door?

« on: 06 December 2020, 12:49:41 »FV6 is the one nearest the wing above the battery. One of the two feeds into the cabin... Think the radio is on FV5 fwiw
Following the excess current through the fuseboxes should lead you to the faulty component
Hi doc. What's the thinking here. If something is still drawing power the interior light will remain on ?

It's also getting one step worse each day.
Now interior light won't go off unless engine is running and sidelights are on !
Yesterday it would turn off with engine running only.could we be talking water in alarm unit ?
Where is the alarm unit situated? Is it a separate unit

if i pull the one nearest nothing happens.buzzer still sounds.
if i pull the second fuse buzzer goes to normal tone as when you leave lights on.
stops if you pull fuse 3.
will have to do current test after tommorow as my meter that has that feature is at work.
also notice that buzzer gets louder if you operate brightness control !
either way interior light stays on when car is left even for 20 mins well after consumer relay goes off.

« on: 06 December 2020, 10:29:03 »Time to dig out the multimeter then
Battery - fuse box ontop of battery - fuse box in the car... and look for the excess current once the car is switched off.
Standing current should be around 0.2 - 0.3 amps, so anything that hasn't quite turned off should stand out.
morning doc. i am going to check this all this morning. will disconnect battery first then check the big main fuses and then all the ones in the car.
will check current draw

« on: 06 December 2020, 10:26:24 »Gixer had the same issue, cant remember the cause. I think it might have been the light switch. Lemme contact him, see if he remembers.
hi. light switch is sat on my kitchen table ! interior light still on !.
i assume the dalay for this is built into the actual light ?

ignition barrel all seems to be working fine. key turns nicely ,all operates as it used to and when you remove the key the barrel jumps forward with a nice click turning off the radio
