The Omega has suddenly developed a new problem. It has memory seat and mirrors. Suddenly the memory on the mirrors is weird. when i push a preset button on the seat the seat moves to the correct preset position. The 2 outside and the inside mirror however just moves to the same position when pushing the seat button. The inside mirror will move as far as it can go upwards. The outside mirrors will also move to one side as far as they can go. pushing the preset button again will cause the mirrors to try and move even further than is physically possible. In the end they will blow the mirror fuse. Storing the memory again will not help. have removed the drivers seat and everything seems connected under there. No obvious break in the wires either. The memory must work since the seat position is stored. Adjusting the outside mirrors with the button on the drivers door works fine. The seat buttons does operate the mirrors but to total insane settings. Worked fine before. Hope this made some sense and that someone have an idea where the problem is/ how to test it. May be the black box under the seat itself at fault?

I used to have a similar problem. If I pressed memory 1, everything moved to the correct pre-set positions, however, if I pressed 1 again the outside mirrors would move down a bit more :-? I think it was due to lack of use, ie just one driver who never needed to use the other pre-sets. Increased use of other pre-sets seemed to sort it. I did notice that the plug/socket connections on the actual mirrors were a little corroded. Maybe cleaning the pug/socket connections with a bit of switch cleaner might help. :-/

hmmm... wondering if all the mirrors might be wired through the interior mirror somehow. Started messing around inside it and suddenly it worked fine again. will check more tomorrow when the sun comes back:)

thanks for the advice. Seems to be sorted now. Removed the interior mirror and sprayed it with switch cleaner. Working perfectly now. As long as i've had the car i've had the same sympthoms as you. It moved the mirror to the correct preset, but when pushing the same button again all 3 mirrors would move some more. Interior mirror was worst in my case. Now it works perfectly however. Goes to correct preset and stays there:)
