[cdx estate omega]

Hi all,

My omega has been faultless for the past few months of ownership, I now have a little problem  

At the weekend I disconnected the battery to try and sort out the dodgy beam on my Xenon headlamps, anyway with that done put the car back together, everything seemed to work, I programmed up the windows and sunroof, then with the windows down and sunroof opened, I locked and deadlocked the car and closed everything from the remote.

Tuesday morning as I was driving to work the sunroof opened on its own as if I had pressed the resume position button, as it was bloody cold I closed the sunroof and all was well.

Any how on getting home last night I locked the car as normal and pressed the button again to deadlock the car, however it didnt deadlock, and nothing I do will get it to deadlock.  I havent tried the key as the lock doesnt move as I dont think that the key has been used for years.

So anyway after all this rambling could it be the pin switch in the drivers door that is causing this problem??

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Mine does this from time to time, my x-reg astra did it, so did my w-reg astra coupe.. Sometimes it just wouldn't deadlock - the odd thing is that it did it more if I was parked near a wall, almost as if it could sence that I was parked nearer something than I should be - I know it sounds odd, but thats what it did - move away from the wall and it would deadlock again...

Well it seems my car has a little electrical gremlin, the deadlocking seems to work when it feels like it.  

Also today the steering wheel buttons have been playing up.  The volume up button turned the radio down, as did the volume down button, the mute button would then turn the radio up or mute depending on how it felt.

I have squirted some electrical spray in the switches which seems to have helped so will have to see how it goes!

Wish me luck!
