Title: internal buzzer sounds on door opening
Post by: dunpullin on 17 January 2011, 23:16:36
after doing a refurb on the ignition barrel the internal buzzer sounds every time the drivers door is opened this used to happen only if the key was in the ignition or the lights were left on

You will have to retrace your steps and see if you have knocked a wire off or left a cable unplugged.

And also if an indicator is left on, which leaves a side light on on whichever side.

I wonder if its just the later Omegas then because all the Mini Facelift and early 2000 Facelift ones i've had don't have this feature

Sounds like the "W" contact on the key switch is sticking. Does the barrel pop fully out of its' recess when the key is removed? It might be sticking a little.

It's not an 'indicator on' warning, it's to let you know the parking lights are on.
The parking lights are activated when the indicator stalk is up or down and the ignition is off.
Most Vauxhalls have this feature...

i get the constant noise when the key is lest in ignition and driver door opens. the siren one is when the signal stalk is left or right(also parking light on one side) and if the headlights are on or parking lights

I don't get any noise when I leave the indicator on and take my keys out and can't say I have ever heard it on any of my cars and the neighbours could probably vouch for that by the amount of times they've knocked on my door to tell me i've left my lights on ;D

My 2001 omega has it as does my 97 vectra. My understanding is that its a parking light is on warning.

It does sound like a good idea, wish I had one. I suppose it may even just be a case of fitting a relay somewhere?  ::)
