Light Buzzer
Has anyone fitted a buzzer so that if you leave the lights on with the ignition off it buzzes?

Thought it would be fairly simple but struggling.

If anyone has which specific buzzer did you use?

Thanks šŸ™

I have that on my 2015 tdci as standard so JLR must do it as an available part?

I wish the indicators either cancelled better or had an audio-able warning Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

Ok interesting. Mine is a 2010 2.4.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram showing how they did it or know the part number?

Mine has the hard of hearing version to stop you leaving your lights on.

The light switch is so positioned that it makes removal of the ignition key kind of impossible, without turning the lights out

Thumbs Up

I have often wondered why JLR put any effort at all into adding 'extras' or subtle changes to the defenders on the 2015 and newer ones. Like why did they change the splines of the steering wheel. Why did they change the colour of the roof lining? Is there also a spare switch to turn the traction control off? Why did they bother?

I'm sure there is a reason, but I haven't a clue Shocked

Brain fart. That's twice I have read that today. Must write that down for use latter Laughing

You see what I have always thought. An unloved, low volume vehicle that was at the end of its run. I understand bling a high volume car to get shot of the older version just before the new one was released, but they didn't even have a new model to sell?

If I had been holding the purse strings, I think I would have just kept pumping them out of Lode Lane with the least effort possible.

They invested a few million quid in the updated DSC system (the reason for the traction control button).  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Have a look at:

Or as a simpler install it is possible to pick up the side light and ignition circuits from the rear of the cigarette socket in the dash and connect up one of these: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/264/category/53

Get a 12V buzzer. Loudness/annoyance level of your choice Laughing

Positive to the dash illumination - easiest behind a switch/cig lighter. Colour is RED with ORANGE stripe.

Negative to the driver's door switch. Colour is GREY with WHITE stripe. Either remove the screw and carefully remove the switch from the driver's door shut and splice into the wire (or even better make a proper male+female Y cable), or find it at the alarm ECU grey connector pin 5.

If you need terminals, female/male locking spades, retrofit quality splice connectors etc drop me a PM Smile  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top
