Yes all that relay does is flash the indicators when the alarm is armed/unarmed, so everything works as normal with it removed, once again thanks for the support!! Cheers Guys [smiley=beer.gif]

Just in case anyone is interested I took the offending relay apart and found that one of the contacts had snapped and must have made its final resting (explains why the lights behaved oddly for a while before sticking on) place between two other contacts.   [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Eureka!!!! It was the little grey bar steward of a relay located behind the glove compartment  .  I only wish I had used the forum earlier as I have practically field stripped the car over the last couple of days.  I can now put the car in for its MOT, she has been a good old ship!! a bit like a car version of the millenium falcon, fingers crossed she will pass, thanks again for all the help, Philip [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Firstly thankyou for the speedy response, am very impressed with the forum .  I had pulled the hazard warning light switch out before thinking that this could be the problem, however nothing changed :-/.  I do think that the problem is definitley related to the relay that the alarm uses to control the indicators.  The only thing is that I do not know where this is located.  I had a look in the modern Haynes Manual but I may as well have looked for the answer in an old copy of the Beano.  Has anyone got any suggestions or an older Haynes?  Once again thanks for the help

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Indicator Permanently On

« on: 16 August 2007, 15:22:39 »

Hi there, recently my R reg Omega 3.0 Elite has developed some Elite electrical gremlins.  The passenger side indicator bulbs are all permanently on (not flashing just on) evenwhen the car is switched off and locked up.  In order to stop attracting the attention of the law and to save my battery I removed a fuse, this fuse also controls the trip computer, the radio, the heater fans and facia, roof lights and the drivers electric seat.  With the fuse out the indicators do work normally hovever when indicating left in time with the flashes the computer, heater fans and lefthand side interior lights also come on and off, most amusing .  I have replaced the flasher unit under as a precaution but this did not change anything . I have tried to locate what I believe is called Board Three which has the alarm relay on it, I believe this could be part of the problem.  My searches have found nothing, nor could I find the alarm control unit (I found the sounder and disconnected it as I had the alarm going off during the hottest time of the day problem).  Please can anyone help
