Omega General Help / Help needed with central locking.
« on: 19 August 2015, 23:02:42 »
Central locking problem.
The central locking on my 1999 2.5TD has been playing up for a while, and I think it is about time I tried to sort it. Just not sure what the problem is and I am looking for help in trying to locate the problem.
First problem: The remote key fob stopped working ages ago, have tried new battery but no change.
To get round this I have been locking the car manually but this has its own problems. At the moment this is how I have to lock the car.
1:Lock the P/S front door by pushing down the lock button from inside the car,
2: get out of car and close the Driver door
3: open rear d/s door and push down the driver's door lock button
4: close rear d/s door.
I then use the key in the driver's door to open the car, this will unlock the car except for the p/s front door which need to be unlocked from inside the car. Sometimes the p/s f door will unlock using this system but not very often.
I have also found that if I lock the car with the key, then when I unlock the car the alarm will go off, where if I use the system above then alarm is not triggered.
Not too worried about key fob, but would be nice to have p/s lock working properly and be able to lock and unlock car with the key without the alarm sounding.
Anybody have any suggestions as to where the problem may lie.
