Omega General Help / Re: Oversensitive alarm
« on: 02 July 2009, 09:22:41 »
Thanks for the advice. I assume that there is no way to lock the car without activating the alarm. Is that right? I had an old Carlton where I could do just that.
1) Power sounder batteries are dying/dead ..
Do you ever hear 4 little chirps when starting/stopping engine ?? Either way ... disconnect the powersounder (10 minute job) and see if that fixes it.
No but I shall listen out for that. Please excuse my ignorance, but what does the power sounder do? Will disconnecting it stop the audible alarm?
2) Bonnet switch misaligned ... Especially in the present weather, as the bonnet expands/contracts with heat/sunlight it can trigger the bonnet switch if it has been dislodged.. a common-ish thing given where it is and the propensity for it to catch on sleeves whilst working on the engine !!!
I shall have a look at that.
3) Something "live" inside the car that starts to fly around once stationary ... had this with a large moth one time ... turn off the motion sensor and see if this sorts it ..
This I am now doing and await results.....
Thanks,
Alan

Omega General Help / Oversensitive alarm
« on: 02 July 2009, 09:05:14 »
I am new to this forum and new to owning an Omega; I bought a 2001 2.2 auto CD saloon a month ago and very happy I am overall......
However, one problem I would appreciate some advice on. My alarm seems to be hyper-sensitive and goes off for no apparent reason. Is there any way to lock the car without activating the alarm? Or can the alarm be de-sensitised? Other than by nobbling the horn, can the audible alarm be turned off completely?
Despite living in south London, peace for myself and others at night is currently a higher priority than anti-theft....!
Thanks,
Alan
