Lights On Warning Buzzer

[snappy]

Hi all, as my car is an old 2001, I would like to know if my year model was fitted with a "lights on" warning buzzer. My car is quiet and will happily allow me to drain the batt flat.

 

I've almost run my battery down several times because of this and I need to get a handle on this issue. If there is a buzzer where would I find it?

 

Thanks

 

I found some stuff about this. There is a buzzer and it's on the "GEM panel" Anyone know what and where it is?

 

If the Ford original is too expensive would a "standard" car buzzer connected between the lighting fuse work?

 

They can be had off eBay for a fiver. Ideas?

Hi there should be a buzzer which should activate when the drivers door is open and lights are on (stating the bloody obvious I know) one question would be do you get a message confirming when the driver's door is open?

 

The buzzre question would depend on wether the fuse supplys the power to the switch and then the lights as if this is the case the buzzer would run all the time!

The other option on wiring it in would be to connect it to a relay so that it has a switched live when the igniton is off and the lights are on.

 

Best wishes

Yep I get a message when a door is open and the interior lights do work as they should from the door switch and the rocker switch.

 

Would this work across the light fuse .... it would be a quick fix if it did.
