Key in or out, engine on or off, if I push the button down on the front door it WILL NOT pull up again, you have to press the button on the key, even if driving.... :o :o
This has nothing to do with the air bag ecu, it is not mechanical, it IS electrical, there are no codes shown and I was told that there is not a 'reset' procedure for the Omega, any ideas.......
Auto electrician said it would be an expensive process to do further investigation.... ::)
You can pull up the back door buttons....

Try swapping the door pin switches over, from front to back... you never know!

How can it be electrical if it works OK with the fob :-?

I'd try another central locking motor first if it's dead locking instead of just locking. :-/

it's deadlocking .... you can't pull the button up ..... instead of the first stage lock and the fob is doing as it normally does when the whole car is dead locked and unlocks it.

Because physically you can not pull up the button, click open on the key and it opens, the fob is an electrical signal..........

Cos the fob is electrical...... there is no mechanical reason, ie not stuck, there is no solenoid fault, it is something that tells it to deadlock when pushing the button..... is there a 'Reset' ...of the whole locking system..? that or i am just going to remove the front buttons to avoid accidental activation then posing with an arm out of the window... ::) ::)

.... there is no solenoid fault, it is something that tells it to deadlock when pushing the button..... .....
I think that it could very well be a solenoid/motor fault. What happens to the lock on that door when you press the fob once ie just lock the car? Is it just locking or is it deadlocking? I suspect it's deadlocking ........ :-/

Forget the fob, when I push the button down it 'deadlocks' you can not pull up the button, only the key will release it, either by pressing the open button or putting it in the door and mechanically unlocking the door.....

I understand what you're saying. But if your door deadlocks on the first press of the fob you might be able to prove that the fault lies in the solenoid/motor itself.

Nothing to do with the fob, press the door button and it goes to deadlock, even if driving the car, and you can not pull the button back up, you really can't.....

With the key in door are you having to use excessive force to unlock :question
-
but the fob "talks" to the solenoid .. and its obvious the button isn't....
As you lift the button it SHOULD send the same signal to the solenoid that the fob does .... it isn't.... so take the door card off and check where the button wiring goes to .... :)

Nope, this is an electrical problem, something working backwards, how do we reset the doors?
-
The button is NOT a lever .. it is a switch .. it sends a signal to the solenoid .. yours is sending the LOCK signal .. but NOT the UNLOCK .. so check the button out !!!

Unplug the C/L ecu then re-connect :-/

The driver's side manual locking button is both a switch and a mechanical connection to driver's side locking motor.
The button is directly connected to the lock mechanism itself and thus to the central locking motor.
The central locking motor contains a switch which detects the position of the locking mechanism. If this switch detects the mechanism being manually moved, it will also operate all 4 motors via the alarm / central locking ECU so the rest of the doors follow the position of the driver's door. The driver's side locking motor will also operate although not strictly necessary.
The only way the doors can be deadlocked is by the central locking motor. This cannot happen mechanically alone.
The central locking motor has 3 positions in contrast to the locking mechanism which has two: Fully upwards, it moves the locking mechanism into the "unlocked" position. In the central position, the mechanism can be manually moved between locked and unlocked. In the bottom position, it moves the mechanism into the locked position. If it remains in this position the door cannot manually be unlocked and is deadlocked.
Normally, the central locking motor moves into the central position after locking or unlocking the car so manual operation is possible, except if the car is deadlocked where it remains in the bottom position.
So, your driver's door lock is operated manually, the switch senses this and operates the central locking motors. In order to lock the door the central locking motor is moved into the deadlocked position, and then back into the central position which allows further manual operation of the lock. Except manual operation of the lock is not possible, which means the motor remained in the deadlocked position.
So yes, you're right in that the problem is electrical because this is the only way the door can deadlock.
Having said that, it's worth sitting in the car and trying locking it with the keyfob. If my theory is right this will also deadlock it on the first press.
I suspect your problem is in the switch that is used to centralise the position of the central locking motor.

Car only locks the car on the first push of the fob button, deadlocking on the second push, you can here it..... :)

Sorry Andy, but I can not see how it can have anything to do with the fob, need to explore this more I think..... ::) ::) ::)
-

Yes, if it's working properly. But yours has a fault.
I (and Andy B) am trying to establish if yours deadlocks on the first press of the fob with the current fault, as this will prove it's the locking motor.

Turn the ignition on with the keyfob, hit either the lock button then the unlock button, this resets the central locking. Remove the key and try it out of the car, not sayin it goin to fix it but no harm in trying. hope it works, at least then someone will have luck with an Omega!!! :-/

Cheers... :y
Fob seems to be fine, first push locks the door, second deadlocks it, you can hear the extra movement in the lock...I have not tried this with the key in the lock yet though...... :-/
-
::)i meant to say make sure when ur doin the procedure make sure the doors are closed (and ur in it of course) and its lock 1st then unlock.

Key fob will not lock the car with the ignition switched on.......... so could not use this process to reset.. :(
-
Double checked that the key fob locks and then deadlocks in two movements, it does.... ::) ::)
Key will neither lock or unlock the door mechanically, key simply will not move in any direction..???
Fob works fine though.....
-
Tried it again today with the original key, rather than the replacement and still no movement, key will not turn to either lock or unlock the car........ :(
My worry is if the fob were to fail I could not get in the car..... :'(
Where do I go next.....??
-
Ahh, starting to sound to me like the lock barrel in the door has siezed up.
Is it worth taking it out , stripping it down, lubricating and removing any burrs on the levers? Not sure how. Never had one apart before.

Do you think this cause the button problem Kevin? I have stripped the door to sort the locks twice on a pre-facelift.....Or suss out a local auto locksmith.... :)
