    A dedicated output from the headlight switch, eh? That'd be handy if mine has that.

    Also handy to know that the thingy apparently works by grounding instead of powering. Thanks!

      Yeah. the buzzer gets power while the car is off simply by opening the door. The courtsey light switch loops power over to the buzzer waiting for a ground from the key in ignition of the headlight switch in park or head. When the vehicle starts the fuse panel sends power to the buzzer and buzzes for a certain amount of time or or until you click on your seatbelt.

        Fixed the headlight buzzer this morning via the above directions....Just had not realized that it would still sound now for those utilizing auto headlights. No biggie. I keep the delay on the shortest time possible and by the time I get my CLUB on the headlights go out. Got rained on while working and went inside. Mail man delivered my buzzer today so I plopped that in and all is well. Then it began to rain again so no time to reinstall all onto the bracket and bolt the bracket up to the dash braces. That guy i purchased the buzzer from is great. Came to me in under two days!

          But man that buzzer is obnoxious.
          OMG I just looked it up. Freaking hilarious...I may have to look for one at the yard to play around with. ahahahhaha it is funny as hell. Do you have any idea where the module is located? I dont see why it cannot be integrated unless it is part of a much bigger digital cluster stuff.

                Jeez. This may be part of a bigger system if it is capable of making errors like that.

                    Took her out for what could have been a nice Sunday stroll..but that quickly changed when I began encountering dumb-asses all over the place. Watch me go for a drive in lovely New York while expressing how I truly feel.

                              I was born in the Bronx so I know NY drivers but if you REALLY want to turn into a serial killer try driving here in South Florida! I am currently developing an "asshole repellant" I can spray on my car to keep all the wonderfully skilled drivers at bay!! My hat is off to Dave and all the younger guys (I am 56) that have such attention to detail and the drive to maintain and improve their vehicles. I hope you all continue to be safe and healthy so this rich tradition can continue!!! Bobby
