Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Door locking and alarms

« on: 02 February 2014, 14:38:06 »

Hi

The electrics on my Omega are driving me mad.

The doors lock without any action from me, when driving the interior light comes on and won't go off.

Yesterday I thought it may well be the door contact which causes the light to come on, pressed it and the doors locked and unlocked.

It will now do this consistently, anybody know what the connection between the open/close door switch for the interior light and the central locking is?

This car will have to go soon as everytime I take it out, a new electrical problem presents itself,

Thanks for any advice

Daft question .. when you unlock the car does the drivers door lock "button" pop up and stay up ??

Sounds like it is either staying down or the mechanism "thinks" it is staying down, as pressing it down before closing the drivers door gives exactly what you are experiencing ..

If it is staying down, try pulling it upwards and see if that affects the problem

Hi

Absolutely correct, button comes up but only about 7/8 of the full travel. if I put it up the last 1/8 problem goes away. Seems to be mechanical stopping button travel, any idea how to fix it. Thanks

Hi

Button pops up when unlocked with fob, it goes down when locked. I will check in the morning whether it is travelling to its full height.

Thanks for your help.

Hi  Sorry I can't help you but if you find the answer I'd be pleased to hear it, mine does exactly the same, warm centre vent cold everywhere else.

Omega General Help / Central Locking problems

« on: 21 November 2013, 15:17:50 »

Hi

New to Omega ownership, having driven Mercedes (W124) E280 estates for last 10 years.

Elite 2.6 Estate, 53 plate. Lots and lots of gadgets all of which work, some when I'm not expecting it.!!! It's a bit thirsty, but very comfortable.

Popped down the glen to the rubbish bin, yes we take our household rubbish down to a communal bin 2 miles down the road.

Got out, left key in ignition, shut drivers door, opened tailgate, deposited rubbish, closed tailgate.......... all doors locked.. key inside...car blocking road for logging wagons....pouring rain walked 2 miles home got spare key and Audi, went to retrieve car. Opened using fob all OK.

Since then everything works fine using the remote fob, all door buttons open and close as expected. However when I close the drivers door,(and only the drivers door) whether I am in the car or outside, whether the ignition key is in or not, all the doors lock.

If I'm inside, the door handle won't open the door, the remote fob does and opens all other doors.

So any ideas what it is that is loose/wet/shorting that activates with the vibration of the door closing?

This is probably something very simple like a door locking solenoid, as the mechanical bits all do what they are supposed to do I think.
ie all the buttons move freely.

Any help or advice very welcome.
