Warning buzzer for headlights

[Rubce]

Hi All

Have any of you fitted a warning buzzer to remind you that the healdights are still on after you switch off the ignition and leave the car?

Yes.

The attached is the diagram of my buzzer wiring. There is a spare connection at the dash rheostat whichsupplies raw feed when the lights are on, so it doesn't matter what setting the rheostat is on. The P/R (purple/Red) wire can be found behind the carpet by the driver's door hinges. Just splice into this with a Scotchlok. The buzzer can be bought almost anywhere. I have strapped mine to the relay with a small ty-wrap and mounted the relay under the dash where there are mounting holes for a bonnet release bracket to be ftted.

Thanks for that Dave this is a job I was about to tackle myself but I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to electrics :shock:I know where to get the buzzer from I have just fitted one to my indicators , but what about the relay are they all the same (I told you I was a bit of an idiot when it came to electrics )

Hi John,

I am barely literate when it come to electrics, so don't worry. I used a standard relay bought from my local car accessories shop. As Stu says, you can buy lights-on warning buzzers ready to fit, but most rely upon the door switch dropping to earth. The Stag is unique in that the door switch is a live feed, rather than an earth switch, so you need to use a relay to drop the feed to earth. The numbers on the diagram are as marked on the relay terminals.

Not sure if these terms are technically correct, but I know what I mean

Dave.

Thanks Dave

Had an issue with the GT6 yesterday when SWMBO left the lights on. Will adapt your circuit to fit it and also install it in the Stag when the time comes later this year.
