Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Front doors don't react to remote
« on: 14 March 2024, 16:36:54 »
Hey. I bought an omega from a scummy seller a couple of years ago and have been fixing a bunch of things he never told about to get the car MOT ready. The only problem I'm having anymore is with the central locking system, the front doors don't lock or unlock from the key fob. Passenger (right) side door lock doesn't work at all except from the physical handle inside and the driver side can only be locked or unlocked with the key inserted into the door.
I'm wondering if the lock actuator is broken on both doors, I just think it would be a huge coincidence for this to happen. I'm thinking about this part https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.bv-6OvohNnpIojC64psAlgHaIS?rs=1&pid=ImgDetMain
I removed the door card and saw the "lock handle" moving up and down attached to this part. I'm guessing it's what the central locking actuates? Does the driver door lock have a physical linkage to the lock mechanism itself or is it electric like on my 2008 Passat?
