Want your CRX or EF to beep when you leave the lights on?

Got about $7 for materials?

This is an easy old trick mentioned here and there, but its often done incorrectly by shoving wires underneath fuses. There is a better way to do it, and I've written it up for posterity.

damn cant get any easier than that , I have no doubt that someone on H-t will still F it up.

 

Is it really that easy? has anybody tried this yet?

I second that!

lol

 

My car caught on fire and burnt down the 1-10th floors on my parking deck, prepare for legal action.

 

this is sweet, but i still dont get how it indicates that the headlights are still on if your just pluging the beeper into those 2 slots only

if i did read right

 

thats funny if its that easy why didnt honda do it. but i think if youve been driving hondas for a while you know theres no warning and you turn your lights off even when they are allready off. atleast i do.

damn penny scrunchers!

 

Ive been meaning to do this for years. Now I may actually do it.
Good sticky material.

 

i did it 3 weeks ago. super simple and a battery saver

 

Same here, I did the same thing a couple months ago, everyone at work thought I was crazy and then I showed them when I had found the right connectors and everything. Had the same thing done on my old EG also. I first did it on my EG after I had killed the battery 2 or 3 times.

for sticky

 

It works perfectly...one of those really nice easter eggs on EF's. I dont claim to be the person who figured it out.

I believe those slots were meant to power some kind of accessory (fog light relay?) that actually worked in some other way. Its just a coincidence that they make a closed curcuit when the lights are on and the keys are off.

 

did it today..... works kool.. paid 3 dollars and sum change for the buzzer over at radio shack... took me about 20 min to do solder the two wires and install nice feature!!!! thanks

 

for some reason this didnt work for me. but the buzzer I use came with a headlight buzzer kit meant to conect to fuses. so maybe its little different? I just hooked it back up to the fuses, i hate looking at that, its cheesy. i wanted this method to work!

 

lol.... i one of those people who did it incorrectly by sticking wire underneath fuses.

That method has been working fine for 4 years... *shrug*

 

Subscribed...I'm going to try this.

 

funny. ive had my headlight warning beeper for the past 8 years (after first leaving my lights on and draining my battery in my first year of ownership), but i didnt do it this way. theres a combination of fuses that you bridge and just stick the bare ends of the wire into (no plug required) and will trigger just like a headlight warning. i dont know off the top of my head what those fuses are, but i thought everyone knew about it....

 

i jsut did it in about 5 minutes. heres how it looks for me:



the wires correspond as follows

beeper red wire -&gt; right plug (my red clip)
beeper black wire -&gt; left plug (my blue clip)

works perfectly.

 

So I just had to see if i could get this method to work with a different buzzer. I got a piezo 12 volt dc buzzer and it works, and it sounds alot more pleasant too.

so the reason using fuses is incorrect/bad is the slot gets stretched out from the clips that connect to the fuse, making it larger. I had to tweek the fuses that i had used so they work/make contact. I also noticed my car starts without a fuse for the starter signal,wtf? does this mean wiring problems?
