...first thing in the trash, every single vehicle ever owned. I am a buzzer hunter. It's how I learned how to rip every dash apart. "Must destroy noise... Must destroy noise..."

Now I hunt RFID harness tags and QC codes... "Must destroy code... "

Either you'll tolerate that horse shirt, or you will never tolerate it.

I suggest all forum member's seek to achieve to be: "A take no buzzer B/S individual..." ...as a basic no B/S standard mindset.

Yes, this means by definition, you will now be technically a "Buzz Kill".

Earn it!

I have a universal buzzer I bought at a parts store, and used it in my ‘75. It has two leads you plug in at the fuse panel. It’s tone is fairly wimpy, but it works.

You just need to find one fuse that only has power when the ignition is on, and a 2nd fuse that is powered by the headlight switch. If the ignition is on you get power to the buzzer, but it has no ground (and does not buzz). As soon as your headlights are turned on, it will ground through them and the buzzer will buzz.

I want a buzzer too! Just found out this weekend that there is a nice big socket labelled BUZZER under the dash. Obviously empty as I almost forgot my lights couple of times.

Buzzer has multiple prongs, does it have a different buzzer for a different thing, e.g. no seatbelt, open door with lights on, key left in ignition, etc?

Would it be possible to wire any kind of 12V buzzer between two prongs that are responsible for leaving the lights on or is it more complicated than that?
