Hi Everyone...

So my Omega has a key and a remote central locking key fob (two button). When I bought the car, the owner said the battery would need changing. It did need it and I did change it.

However, push the button (either of them), and nothing happens (other than the lights flashing on the fob).

Any ideas?

it needs re-syncronising. Key in, ign on & press lock, doors lock and then unlock!  Done!

Sorry for long reply... been working like a mad man last week or so!!!

Thank you very much!

Well, that certainly does work... though I think the actual buttons are a bit dodgy as sometimes the light comes on and the door opens/locks and sometimes it doesnt.

If i resync the two again it works fine then it goes again. Strangeness!!!

Sounds like the battery connection on the pcb inside is iffy. Martin Imber here on the forum has fixed loads for a reasonable fee.
PM him ..... I'm sure he'd be able to sort yours out

I agree, my initial reaction would be batt holder soldering, but on those, possibly worth checking for poor contacts on holder, or even a duff battery.

Will check the connections and report back.
Battery is fine as have checked that and replaced it and checked the replacement too...

Hi,
I have a similar problem in as much as when I use the fob all doors lock except the Drivers door. I opened the door and the alarm sounded. I can lock the door with the key. I only bought the car today and have no manual. Any ideas please

Solenoid/motor in the door is u/s. Not too difficult to replace, just fiddly.

Thanks for the quick reply...most appreciated

problem solved - its the battery holder part!!!
If i "squeeze" the fob and press the button it works a charm yay!

Will get it sorted properly shortly. Thanks for everyones comments

Had the same problem put a bit of blue tac on a piece of paper on top of the battery works fine now.
