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.

You should get the lights on chimes for the parking lights, but only when the door is open, ie same if thee lights switch is on...

How does it behave if you lock/unlock it with the key?

To deadlock it with the key you turn to lock and hold for a second or two as per the manual. Unlocking should simply be a matter of turning the key to unlock ;)

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.
Only normal if you unlock with the key having first locked it with the remote.

Unlock it with the remote and re lock it with the key. Unlock  it afterwards with the key and the alarm should NOT go off ;)

yes that all seems fine if i unlock it with fob.i can then lock it with key and unlock it without alarm going off.( alarm didnt set either/no flashing light led) so all seems well there.
maybee thr buzzer is faulty. i can try it in my brothers when we come out of tier 3 .
still would lime to have found what actually wasnt right yesterday thou !

To set the alarm with the key, you have to hold it to the lock position for a moment... It's in the handbook ;)
