Yesterday I had a nightmare of the battery being flat...? dunno why but it does this at random times for some reason and I cant get to the bottom of why..
The batteries Iv got are all new, well the oldest is 6 months old and are all the correct size for the Omega...
Getting a bit tedious with having to jump start the car at random times...
You did read that bit didn't you Al....? They're not old batteries....
I will read and absorb whatever has been written as a comprehensive guide to the Omega's charging system... Please don't try and think that I know nowt about charging systems.... It is an intermittent fault, that can rear its ugly head every now and then, not a constant fault.... It could be OK for a few days, or can be OK for a couple of weeks/months.... Its nothing to do with the weather getting damp either.... The car isn't laid up for a couple of weeks either, nevermind days...
Had this kind of problem on a mk 3 mondeo and a renault trafic. Different vehicles i know, same symptoms. Both vehicles suffered from the ( in the case of the ford) GEM module not shutting down completely. Not using the central locking fob ( broken) on the renault. The ford " cured" itself after being reset.
Never read of similar fault on the omega, always a first..
What is common is that stupid earth battery clamp.
