Omega General Help / Re: Remote Locking and Alarm Problems

« on: 26 November 2007, 16:36:25 »

Thanks to all who responded for the help and advice.  Turns out the problem was connection from battery holder into circuit board in key fob.  LED came on when I held battery down, but didn't when I re-assembled key fob (to be honest, I thought LED had stopped working ages ago).  Couple of bits of sticky tape seems to have sorted it (for now at least!) and I didn't even have to resynchronise - remote worked straight away.
Great to know this forum exists!

Yes and I know it's normal, but I want to stop it.

Omega General Help / Remote Locking and Alarm Problems

« on: 23 November 2007, 16:14:42 »

The remote central locking system/alarm keyfob on my 1998 Omega 2.0 saloon has just given up the ghost.  I have replaced the battery and tried to resynchronize the remote control, but with no success.

I can still lock and unlock and drive the car, but, of course, the alarm goes off every time I open the car until I have switched on the ignition.

What is my cheapest and easiest way of sorting this out?  If I need to have a new key fob, I believe this is going to be £150+ from Vauxhall (especially as the Car Pass wasn't with the car when I bought it 5 years ago!).  This is also the only key fob I have for the car.

How easy is it to disconnect the alarm and would this mean having to disconnect the immobiliser as well?  I would be very happy to lose the alarm, as it only ever goes off when it's not supposed to (regularly in the summer during the day), but I need to keep the immobiliser working for insurance purposes.  

I'm certainly no car DIY expert, so would probably have to take it somewhere to get this done - I presume a garage wouldn't have a problem with this.  Any suggestions of where to take it in/near Weymouth, Dorset?

Thanks G
