no dash lights and car wont start.
« on: 08 November 2010, 09:41:34 »
hi, i have a 2002 omega and the cars been absolutely reliable, but now it wont start and there are no dash lights. Both my fobs are tatty and only 1 works remotely, and this  one now only opens the car now. I have manually un-locked and locked it but no difference.
Any ideas people?
Thanks.

No lights at all, even when you turn ignition on?

Does the engine crank?

I assume you mean no warning/EML lights. Charge, oil etc etc lights are coming as they should when you first turn the key I?

Have a look at your battery connections, see if any of the smaller cables has come adrift.
If your model has it then also check the box by the battery with the fusible links, make sure they are all intact.

Have a look at your engine fuseable links first and battery connections. Do your lights, heater etc work etc? It could be a faulty ignition switch or immobilser problem if the fuses are ok.

You might want to refer to this thread..

I had a lot of problems with fuse 15 blowing randomly caused endless grief. Eventually traced to heated seat wiring rubbing on seat frame, just bear it in mind.  The fuse blew for a reason...
