Hi Everyone,

My nearside indicators (front, mid and rear) are staying permanently on, as a solid light, not flashing....even with the ignition off. Offside works fine, but nearside won't go out! Even dash light stays on all the time. last night disconnected the battery, back on this morning, straight away, it lights up....it won't go off!!

Any suggestions? Warmly welcomed!

Thanks

Tom

Sorry, 2003 Omega Estate 2.2 Petrol.....

I think you'll find its the relay thats flashes the indicators when you lock the car, The flexible strip inside the relay fails and shorts out the contacts. The relay hidden up behind the glove box, you can pull the relay out, it just wont flash the indicators when locking but the turning indicators will still work.

I'm sure its been on here before, i had the same problem on a previous omega..

This might help

Now confused...could'nt find the hazard relay. Phoned Vauxhall dealer...they said there was no Hazard relay!! It goes through the indicators relay. Weird.

Any other thoughts....problem summary: Passenger side indictors stay on solid, even with ignition off. Left turn indicator light constantly on solid on dash. Disconnecting/reconnecting battery does not cure it. Right hand turn indicator works fine. Hazard lights on does nothing. Tried unlock/lock 20/30 times now and does not clear it either.

Vauxhall say its the Alarm control Unit which is circa £350....MOT coming up in few weeks, so need to fix!!

I love my Omega...but it drives me insane!

Thanks

Tom

have you taken the glovebox out
relays are up there 

[Kevin Wood]

Dealer is talking utter "dangle-berries". There is a relay that flashes the indicators driven by the alarm. It's location (on a facelift) is up behind the glove compartment to the left had side.

It has 6 wires attached. 3 Red, 2 Black and white and 1 Black and green.

Couldn't get glove box out, but managed to get a small camera right up behind it nearly to top of dash. Could not see anything that fit the description above and on the post Weds mentioned. I have to take it to Vauxhall tomorrow to fix a blown rocker cover (is it still called that these days) gasket. I'll show the boys from Masterfit this thread and see what they say!

cheers

There's a little group of 2 or 3 relays mounted right up behind the passenger air vent IIRC.

Dont need to lock/unlock 20-30 times.Need to switch hazards on/off 20-30 times.If that doesnt do the trick.The relays are definetely there up behind the glovebox - a bit awkward to see/ get at, but they are there.
In the unlikely event you need a new alarm ECU (control unit) there are plenty of used ones available, usually for no more than £20.

[tom041098]

Thanks everyone...does anyone know if there is a video showing removal of glovebox for 2003 facelift model? (Watching someone else do is much better than trying to figure it out yourself )
I'll come back if I need an ECU, hopefully someone here knows someone who knows someone etc etc.

Cheers once again...

If the alarm ECU were at fault it would be both indicators. It doesn't control them individually.

Red is servotronic, IIRC the small grey one is the alarm indicator relay
