Just a thought. was created by Crumbley

I have a year 2000 Jimny automatic.

I just had a thought that a buzzer like the one which tells you that you have left the lights on when the drivers door is opened would be rather useful if it would buzz if I I opened the drivers door when the transmission was not in park.

Is it possible? Has anybody done it?

Yes, I've done it.

Very easy, just need a 12 volt relay, buzzer, wire and some terminals.

How much more do you want to know? Conection between the relay and lights power?

I did mine on the ignition, not the door.

Thank you JimboSpanner.

Which automatic gearbox wire wire should I connect to?

Is it the position PRND display light or is there another way?

Sorry electrics isn't my strong point.

So,

I used the ign, independent to anything else as it was too hard to find any of the wires.

I used a light on the clock to power the buzzer, with the tap off the ign power ( cig lighter ) to power the relay.

Hope this pic helps.

Thank you, that is the level of detail I need.

Just one thing, I was looking have a buzzer when the automatic gearbox was not in the park position and the ignition was off or the drivers door was opened.

I've already got a buzzer for the lights being left on.
