Thread: Dash warning lights question

Would anyone know if there is a single point where i may be able to split into the dash warning lights? I was thinking of putting a buzzer across all the lights as it would give me notice to look at the dash should i miss a warning light of any description.
Would this work? Cheers

HI, it's doable but not on a single wire, you must splice into the command of those few lights that dont already have the audible warning by default(cos the 3 amigos, ACE, SLS, etc have audible warning from "factory") tell me for which lamps do you want to hear the buzzer and i'll tell you what to do(provided you have RAVE cos you need the connector views and pin disposals/wire colours... it's about the plugs at the top of the instrument pack)...you need a NO relay for that with the coil to earth and the warning light's command cos the signal for all the warnings to come on is on the earth path when they get earth or lower than 1.8V voltage and stay off if the voltage on the earth path is higher than 8V so the buzzer must be connected one side to ignition live and the other side through the NO contact of the relay to the warning lamp's earth path... this way when the earth path loses voltage the buzzer will sound...but as i said you need to splice into each warning you want to be "double warned"... afaik there are not many of them... i dont even know if the MIL has audible warning or not cos i've never seen it(unless it was on self check or purging sequence)
