Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Time and Date setting on info display -HOW???

« on: 30 January 2010, 13:53:18 »

Hi

On my 1998 Elite I have the clock on info display with the two little buttons to set the date and time above the display.

Thing is when I press the both button to set the time (as always showing 0.00) nothing happens.

Also not sure if related but in the info display on car start up it shows Mem and it searches all the time untill I press a station button on the radio.

Is there some kind of memory feature which is not working or a battery etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Headlight Field/Vision Testing??

« on: 26 January 2010, 22:57:48 »

Hi

I cant seem to find anything obviously wrong with the sensors so I was wondering if there was anyway of testing the sensors to see if one is faulty.

If not whats the next step in trying to get to the reason why i am having the warning come up on my display?

Your answers would be most appreciated.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Jumping my battery BUT alarm going off?

« on: 26 January 2010, 12:38:50 »

Hi

My battery seems to be totally flat as the central locking wont even open the doors etc.

I managed to use the key on boot as not letting me get in manually via the doors.

I tried using bootsters on battery but the alarm is going off.

I have heard about putting key in ignition and disconnecting negative within 15 seconds.

How am I going to jump my battery without alarm going off bearing in mind I cant even unlock the doors from outside OR inside so only access into the car is via the boot.

If the sensor arms have broke where can i get a replacement?

And worse case scenario if the motors have broke how will I detect which motor it is and where can a replacement be sought and is both jobs a diy job?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Electric Seat adjustment Problem

« on: 22 January 2010, 22:15:30 »

Hi

All good news - I got the object out.

I managed to make my own cranking tool out of a normal socket set with a square ended screwdriver bit attached to end of socket.

Took ages but managed to get the seat forward enough for my correct seating position.

BUT when looking at the back of the drivers seat from the rear I saw a coin - picked it up and thought it was a foreign coin but on closer inspection it was the middle of a £2 coin.

And a closer inspection on the runner I saw the outer part (gold piece) of the coin.

I have yet to remove the outer part of coin as it was getting dark but seat now moves backwards and forwards.

I must have been turning and cutting the coin like a tin opener when I was cranking the seat manully.

For the life of me I could not see a coin prior to my discovery no matter how hard I looked.

Everyones suggestion has been greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Chris

Just to let you know I am still at the point of getting know where - so really need some more help.

I have looked and looked again and hovered but no coin - I can even see all the way through the runners to see if anything blocking it but nothing.

Of course at the moment I cant even get access to the two rear bolts to remove seat so I am really stuck at the moment.

I have tried a flat head screwdriver in the manual adjustement hole - even though I dont even know if I have right hole but a screwdriver does not seem to grab it enough to rotate.

What can I do as I have a car sat there.

Just to let you know I cant find anything obstructing it.

Is there a tool I can use to manauly adjust the seat to come forward (as in the handbook) bear in mind tho that I dont have the original tool to wind seat out.

Also not sure but would it be easier for me to get the seat out to enable me to look closer as difficult access - again bearing in mind that because it wont move forward I cant access the star screws at the back of the seat.

Your help is urgently needed.

Regards
Chris

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Electric Seat adjustment Problem

« on: 21 January 2010, 11:28:13 »

Hi

I just bought a 98 Omega Elite - it has the electric adjusted seats.

Seats in general work fine.

Passenger moves far enough forward as it should do BUT the drivers side stops way to short of where it should be.

The guy I bought from was well over 6' so never an issue as it moves back fine but only moves forward partially.

I am guessing it must be a good 6 inches that its stopping short of where it should be.

What do i do as I was going to see if it would manually move forward with the tool supplied but sods law there is no tool.

All others movements work fine.

Whats the best way to diagnose this AND is there another tool preferably one I may have lying around my shed which I can use to manually bring the seat forward?

I need this to move forward urgently as its not safe to be driving this the way I am.

Your kind replies would be gratefully appreciated.

Chris
