car locked doors and windows shut indicators flashing, unlocked door flashing stopped locked up and flashing again. unlocked flashing stopped locked up and now appears to be back to normal only time will tell, Any ideas..
-
Lights flashing again disconnected battery gone to bed
-
The alarm is going off.
Start with the bonnet switch.
-
Thanks DG I will look at that, the alarm is not sounding just the lights flashing could it be the alarm is dead therefore just flashing lights?
-
I should have said is the horn dead? not the alarm.
-
Has the power sounder been removed? Alarm horn, if fitted, is next to the power sounder. ;)
-
The alarm horn died on my 2.6 so it didn't make any noise when the alarm was triggered (at least not after I took the power sounder out)
I did buy a new alarm horn and a new power sounder but never got around to fitting them ::)
I assume that you have already removed the self immolating power sounder? that has a habit of triggering the alarm just before starting the fire........
-
I am fairly sure that I removed power sounder although that might have been on my previous omega.I will have to check if it has been removed. Have read a few posts on removal what is the best way to check if it has been removed.

Lift up the scuttle passenger side and have a peek in there. They're not difficult to find.

I took the rubber drain grommet out of the scuttle cover and had a look in, I saw the horn but no powersounder I must have removed it.Does it attach to the bracket which is just below and to one side of the scuttle drain grommet. I also thought I could see a tapped up cable.Whilst in there I noticed a lot of crud in the base is there a large drain down there or does it need cleaning like the passenger side drain.Checked the bonnet connecting plug which looks ok.The car has stood idle for some time and when started it was a bit sluggish.could a low battery give this problem.All seems ok at present but will charge battery anyway.I always disconnect both negative and positive when connect my battery conditioner is this necessary.
-
It's not whether the bonnet switch is plugged in or not, it's the bracket that gets bent over so no longer makes proper contact with bonnet .... unplugging it is the same as the switch being in the correct position.
-
Yes Andy I checked the switch support etc.but difficult to check the operation with the bonnet closed Obviously needs a meter connected

A dab of grease would tell you if it's touching the bonnet or not.
Even Ketchup would suffice...

Or blu tack ,chewing gum etc. etc.

so, if you unplug it and the alarm doesn't sound, the bracket just needs adjusting .... upright is normally good enough
-
I charged the battery up and all now seems ok. :y
