Omega General Help / Re: Jammed ignition key

« on: 21 May 2008, 15:10:31 »

three things.
1 in theory you can order a replcement key from a main agent.
2. if you take off the left ahnd side of the casing around the steering wheeel you will find the electrical switch on the end of the steering column, thus it can be removed? allowing you to play with the ignition siwtch.
3. the severed bolt can be removed, I know becuase i had an igition switch replaced, was not as expensive as i expected £100 all in, and they should be able to order to mtach existing key numbers...

« on: 21 May 2008, 15:16:28 »

Hi Guys, I a new to this forum, but would appreciate any help you can give in isolating the problem I am currently etting.  Had the car a couple of years now, great w/horse, 170k plus on the clock, suddenly it just doent want to satrt first time, the engine magment light flashes, then suddenly it goes OK...the local garage think its something to do with the ecu not holding/or recogising the key code? was recommended to switch to my second key, but sometimes its worse. i.e. 4/5 times to start, other times starts first time?

1996 Omega Tourer ( estate) 2.5 V6 Petrol
when you do the paper clip test, where does it show the codes?
as my display is slightly useless...

eml light does not stay on, it only flashes whilst I am turning the ignition key?
