Discovery lights-on warning buzzer
Andy.:
Hi Kev, I've seen these in the VWP catologue and they look just like relays :?:
Do they come pre wired :?:
How do you know which wire goes where :?:
Do you need any other bits, Huw talked of a diode :?:
I also fancy fitting an interior light delay thingy butnot very electrically minded :oops:
Cheers.

Fitting a lights on buzzer is, as said, ridiculously easy :D . You need a 12volt buzzer, to suite your taste. Connect the red wire to the dashboard lighting, wherever is easiest. Connect the black wire to the door switches, job done. Remember if you have dimmable dash-lights this will affect the volume/tone of the buzzer. You should only need a diode if you want the buzzer to only come on with the drivers door and not every time a passenger gets in. Personally I make up a short loom using a soldering iron and heat-shring tubing because crimp terminals will not hold the leg of a diode, then I fit this into the car using normal crimp terminals.

There ya go, couldn't have put it better, its easy enough, if not too sure get someone who can read a test meter to give you a hand
The interior delay units used to be sold at maplins, they were cheaper than where we went, dunno if that is the case now though

Cheers guys, I guess I'll bite the bullet and give it a go :D

Something I would say about that is that you will end up with reversed polarity across the buzzer if you don't fit the diode. Over time, the buzzer may object to this. I'd stick a diode in just to be on the safe side. For the sake of 19p and a bit of soldering, you may as well do it.
Andy, I'll keep my eye out and see if I can find anywhere that does blue buzzers for you :wink:
