    Light Buzzer

    Where do I find the buzzer to tell me my lights are still on?

    The closest I can find to a switched live is pin 1 on the ISO connector, but it only provides around 9v. The [Autoleads] ISO connector I bought seems to get permanent live and switched live from the same pin. So I decided to search the forum (where I should've started in the first place)! It seems that a viable solution is to tap into the red wire off the light buzzer.

    My other problem is that the buzzer doesn't go off when the lights are on but keys are out. Is there an easy way to check what is wrong at the same time as tapping into its power?

    BTW anyone know what pin 1 does? It seems to be out there all on it's own. I've know the others (illumination, ground, attenna and rear amplifiers, +12v rail). I also have a brown spade female coming out of the same loom that only works on the ignition, which also provides around 9v. What's this for?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

      What's it look like? I'd locate it from following the noise, but I can't because it's not making one.

          Funny, I did the same with my wife

          As for my buzzer, it works every time on the lights, but rarely on the stereo Strange thing is, every once in a while, I get a faint buzz when the stereo is on, but only for a breif second

          Cheers n

              So the buzzer might not be the best option then. What's the max load I could put on tapping off one of the heater switches? I plan on also running power to my TomTom from it too.
