the key fob is working fine thankfully it is just that the ignition wont turn on it is as though it has locked so we have to lock and unlock the doors and reinsert the key to try again and keep repeating the process until it will start it has only been the past couple of days and it is not all the time.

Omega General Help / Help regarding anti theft device thing

« on: 19 October 2007, 21:51:22 »

Hey guys hope you can help with this our omega has what i assume is an antitheft device i.e when you unlock the doors you have to be quick in getting the key in the ignition to start the car otherwise nothing will happen not even the lights will come on. Up until a few days ago this hasnt been a problem but the past couple of days it has been a real pain no matter how quick we are at getting the key in and turned it is taking 8-10 times to get it to turn is there a way of bypassing this or disabling it at all.
thanks
