Sorry if someone has already posted a similar problem up, but basically the alarm goes off by itself, it goes on for a bit, then stops then goes off again. It did that all night, and even when i left the car unlocked it carried on doing that. I was kinda too tired to investigate at 4Am in the morning so i just let it do whatever it wanted to till this morning. Had a look everything seems to be fine, but then again im not too sure LOL. Also this morning when i was about to go do a bit of shopping the alarm went off again and even after i fired the car up, it wouldnt stop. So i reved the engine a bit and it stopped.
Can anyone suggest anything that i should check before i start ripping things off and replacing ?

I had same problem with mine. Sounds like your power sounder is on its way out.

Ahh ok, thanks
btw i was about to add that its my 2.6 CDX having this problem, but i guess it doesnt make much of a difference about which Omega its in right ?
-
AS far as I know its same for all. Mine is 2.6 cd and I took the powersounder out on sat. 5 min job and theres been no problem since. Its up to you if you want to replace the batteries or just get a new one to put in. I'm not really bothered about putting one back in, car is going perfect without it :y
-
Haha, i will be most likely replacing mine :D
Need to find out how much they go for ? Would you happen to know ?
-
Theres a page on here somewhere but from memory theres 2 different types, I think 1 is around £69 while the other is around £169. Im sure some of the other members will be able to advise better.

Ok no probs thanks
i will have a quick look around, but im on my out now soo thanks for the help mate :D
-
As said, sounds like powersounder failing. This needs to be removed ASAP, as although uncommon, not unheard of for the things, when failed, to spontaneously combust, making a mess of your car.
Up to you if you fit a replacement. If you do, only buy a brand new one. 2nd hand ones will be on there last legs, and present the same fire risk.

Yes sir :D
Sorry my dads out so im kinda taking over :P
But yeah i will tell him over the phone to get it taken out asap, he probs already taken it out bcoz when ever he has a problem he takes it to his mates garage to use the tools and his mates expereince with this car :D

Fixed!!! Thanks everyone for the help :D
I replaced it with one i had from my old 2.2 Omega :D
