Back windows wont open, front ones do
« on: 14 August 2012, 20:13:53 »
Hi All

I brought my omega four weeks ago and already i have replaced the right arm and bushes it still needs pads and new tyres. Now my back windows wont open but my front ones do. Ive checked the fuses and thats ok can anyone guide me further. Also ive been told that the car needs a gasket between the engine and down pipe. When the engine is cold the EML light flashes on and off and i loose some of the power but once the engine has warmed up everything seems fine. Do you think this is the gasket? Its a lovely car and i really want to fix these problems its a 2.5 V6 GLS S reg.

Hope someone can help.

Best wishes

Sarah

Which switches are  you using? The rear door switches can be turned off from the front green/red switch by the front set of switches.  :y

Do the paperclip test & see what code (if any) you get.  :y

Hi All

I have just bought an omega 2.5 V6 GLS S reg and already i have had to replace the right arm and bush. It still needs pads and new tyres. Now the back windows wont open ive checked the fuses there ok any ideas? I love this car and really want to stick with it and fix the problems. Also when the engine is cold i loose some power and the EML light flicks on and off i have been told i need a gasket from the engine to the down pipe could this be the reason the car looses power when its cold, once its warm its fine. I really hope some kind person can advice.

Best wishes

Sarah

You've posted in the right section Sarah - ignore him above ^^^  ;)

Sure you've not got the "Child safety" switched on?

Check Fuse 15 - although if fronts work should be ok
