Hi,

Some of you, specially Leon, might remember I posted some questions
regarding the installation of a lights-on-reminder in my '91RED, some
months ago.  It was summer then, I tried to install the buzzer and it
didn't work, but it wasn't really very important. Now it's winter, and
it's been a rather wet winter, so I decided to give it a new try.

My approach now was different: I changed my radio, and realized that
much of the "wires" I needed were already connected to the radio: I
got the +12V after ignition from the wire that disconnects the radio
when the ignition key is out of "ignition" or "accessories". Then I
got the light on +12V from some console lights (it could be the
"chaufage" illumination, but it was from the analogue-clock (not
stock)). I think this way it might be much easier (although I'm not
sure whether the +12V after ignition is available in every radio).

.....then I did something more: I didn't like very much the idea of
having the buzzer on, when the engine is off  and I want the lights on
for some reason (like for visibility reasons).... so, I think it makes
sense to have the buzzer only "buzzing" when the door is opened! This
can easily done, if you get +12V from the cockpit light (the contact
in this light that has +12V _only_ when the door is open), and ground
from, for example the radio, and use these wires to activate a relay,
which closes the normal "lights-on-reminder" circuit, when the door is
opened.

hope this might be useful.
