Ok i have a 1994 omega 2ltr.

Problem is, when i got the car over a year ago the keys have nevered opened the door as they are jammed, been told its common due to age. Only lock that works is the boot.

So, i have been using the fobs untill now, they have stopped working !
Car is deadlocked and can only access through boot !.

Have tried new batterys, tried re-programe the fobs etc but with no joy as when i try to re-program them i cant get the interior light to flash !.

I did when i first got the car disable the immob as was having problems starting,got insturctions form here how to do that. but the fobs have always worked. tried connecting wires together again to see if fob will programe/work but with no joy !

Any ideas or otherwise i may have to scrap it  .

Thanks, Ian

Give the keyholes a damned good squirt of plusgas, leave for an hour , then try the key again .. its a hard turn, almost feels like the key will break .. but it should unlock.

And what is the interior light flashing got to do with anything ?? To reprogram .. insert key, turn to ON but don't start the engine .. press lock/unlock/lock/unlock .. the central locking should cycle each time.

Key is now reprogrammed.

Hi thanks for the reply. To be honest i doubt the keys will turn as they have been like this since i have had it. will try it though and hope it works !.

The autodata book says that you tuen the igniton on and then press the fob and the interior light flash's to tell you that its sync with the car.

will try the way you suggest and see how it goes. fingers crossed !.

Thanks.

ok tired to use keyfob like you said but no joy.

according to autodata it says -

omega94-97

switch ign on,
programming mode active for 30seconds
point remote at reciever and press lock/unlock button
interior lamp flash's to indicate correct synchronziation.

Have sprayed lock and tried but no luck yet, will keep trying and see what happens with locks but as i said i doubt they will open as they have never worked,only fob and now thats stopped  .

any other ideas ?.

thanks.

no one ?  :-?

must be something realy odd going on as this morning mine stopped working completely.

deadlock is just a case of turning the key till it unlocks(takes a bit of force)

after that everything works in the car that i know of
i checked the fuse that powers it all and that was fine.

not sure if there is another one hidden away some where.

[iangts]

where about is the fuse that powers it, under the steering wheel ?.

thanks.

[ghondie]

yes i think its fuse no 20 or something like that
if you look in your car manual it has it in there, and it powers the central locking, courtesy light and heated seats (in mine at least)
i think i may have a more in depth problem as the fuse has not blown on mine.

Regards
Nathan

Yeah just checked fuse and mines aint blowen either ??.

thats weird that yours has done it aswell ?.

i dont know what esle to try. i still cant get access to the car unless through the boot !.

Ian.

I would keep working on the locks - are you able to get into the car through the boot?
Maybe you can remove a door card (hack it off if needs be?) and get some WD40 in from the reverse side - I guess you won't be any worse off doing that and door cards seem to be pretty easily available.
Best of luck with this - might be worth checking checking this thread too

ok i get into the car no problem now, all i had to do was to d/c the battery for a few minutes and allw as well.
for some reason the alarm immob must have had some error and locked up(can they do that???)

but all works now

obviously if you have an alarm sounder it will go off when you d/c the battery.

so do the normal thing for dissabling it.

also i noticed that i had a wire running from the batter that was a little loose so i tightened that as well.

fingers crossed it will work.
