I don't know if this applies to Omega's but it certainly does of the Omega A (Carlton).
Have a look under the carpet in the passenger side footwell. You'll be looking for two pairs of red wires that join in that area. When the carpet gets damp they can and do corrode causing a bad connection.

I finally found the problem I noticed when I open and closed the passenger door the lights flickered on and off so a thought wait a minute I checked the door pin switch on the a pillar a found that was corroded so changed that for a later 2 wire rubber covered one cause the early one has a single wire with a plastic pin and also took off the multi plug on the door and found 3 corroded connections so cleaned them and checked the 2 long black multi plugs behind the passenger plastic kick panel found a slight bent pin fixed that so hey presto all is working fine the way it should .
hope this helps other members on here .
