the alarm on my omega goes off within minutes of being locked. have disabled bonnet sensor(after being told this could be the culprit) but alarm still goes off when it feels like it. Have been told its fairley common fault with Omegas. Any solutions?     recoupbeer

hello & welcome, that could also be the powersounder, or the internal ultrasonics,

Just try pressiing the 'running man' button on the dash before you leave the car to rule that out, esp if you have a dangly air freshner.

Powersounder is under the wiper scuttle, drivers corner and often cause problems like this when ther batteries run out, most of us just unplug em.

ohh...and a few examples of what can happen if a dodgy powersounder is left...

If estate, window break sensor is also a possibility.  Needs a good code reader on it to tell...

thanks JIMBOB for your reply.I,m not that knowledgeable with car mehanics nowadays but I presume I need to take the scuttle off to get at the sounder,is this easy to do?
