JeffR Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Did they ever fit a lights on beeper to the 200 Tdi Disco? If they didn't how difficult is it to fit one, given that my personal opinion of electrickery is that it is the work of the Devil.....

teabag Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 No they didn't. Just pick up a supply from your side light supply to the beeper, then to ground the beeper via a door pin switch or using the existing switch with a blocking diode.

Bowie69 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I think all you do is take a feed from the sidelight wire, and then earth via a door pin switch, just as the interior light does. Any buzzer like this would do: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-12v-Miniature-Buzzer-420Hz-10cm-lead-ROHS-/390393293567?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item5ae540eaff Maplin with have them on the shelf I'd imagine, if you are close to one. Other alternative is to wire is such that the buzzer sounds when you have the ignition off and lights on, or even engine not running and lights on, but then I think you'd need a relay, but not exactly hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Both your alternatives are the same thing, the standard circuit (lights on open the door buzzer sounds) the buzzer u show is ok and will do the job but some Piezo sounders have a better tone so will sound a bit better or even a micro sounder with a bit of electronics to give u a two tone sound ...posh 300 series 'lights on' sounds when the door is opened but the key is still in the ignition switch, remove the key and turn off the lights and it's silent, switch off the lights but leave the key in and open the door u will get a 'key in' warning sound, the ignition switch has a micro switch.

Nigelw Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I found one of these buzzer relays under the dash when I stripped it out, it is actually from a Citroen car as I googled the part number randomly, not sure if it worked due to the extensive fire damage under the dash though http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/dieseldog69/media/13-10-12rusty005_zps2ff60edf.jpg.html'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffR Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 If this bloody Disco of mine disgraces itself one more time, the fire damage it receives will be significantly worse than yours...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
