Buzzer seatbelt / key 200

Art,
Years ago I did some electrical modifications on my 1982 so that when I leave the ignition key or head lights on the buzzer would warn me when I open the door. I later traded the buzzer for a chime. What a pleasure.

I did not write any note or diagram of the connections I made but I put low amp inline fuses on these wire modifications as a safety precaution.

But I was caught a couple of times with chime warning me of head lights on or ignition key left there and I was not paying attention to it because the steering wheel contact lock will not always de-activate the chime. In other words the chime will be on for no reason while the door is open. I can get that back to normal by putting the ignition key in and out so the steering lock contact is normal(quiet).

Now I realize the chime is nice for seat belt warning but I sure would like the buzzer noise for ignition key and head lights I forget on. Some work I keep for colder days may be.

Just a comment.
