"lights on" warning sound

Post by pasenah »

Hi, should my mk2 Scala 1988 have the warning sound if lights left on?

If so, any tips on fixing?
Cheers

don't think they did. easiest way would be to acquire a suitable buzzer (maplin, ebay etc) and connect it up to the live feed from the dash illumination and the switched earth from the drivers door switch

I had a GTX that had a lights-on buzzer (not standard) and it was a foul noise. Choose your buzzer carefully!
