Guide for fitting a Lights On Warning Buzzer

On early spec cars these were not fitted, or at least mine didn’t have one.

Go to a donor car in a scrap yard, look up under the dash and there should be a white relay clipped to the bulkhead looking like this:



Pull it down/ unclip and cut away the insulating tape from the loom as far back into the main loom as possible.

Cut the three(3) wires and remove the unit.

The three wires are:

One grey
One Brown with red strip
One Brown with red strip

Disconnect the battery, just in case you may get a shock, you are playing with electricity aren’t you.

Clip the relay into your car and pull down your loom done by cutting the tie-wraps under the dash.

Cut the insulation tape away at the desired position.

Find the wire that is the illumination for the buttons this is the grey yellow cable, or the grey black cable coming from fuse six(6)
Strip the insulation from this wire and solder the grey wire from the relay to it. Insulate the join with tape or heat shrink.

Next find the brown with red strip wire from the drivers door pin switch, (one that makes the light come on when the door is open)

Cut this wire and connect one end to one brown with red strip wire from the relay and the other end to the other wire of the same colour from the relay, Effectively the relay is bridging the gap.
Insulate the joins and re tape the loom and clip it back up.

Re connect the battery

Close your door and turn on the side lights. Open the door and the buzzer should go off.
With the door open turn off your lights and the buzzer should stop, likewise if the door is closed.

Hope this guide is of some help.

looks very good mate!

so the 2 cables that look the same, is one in from the switch, and one out again?

the cable from the switch needs to be cut and the relay put between it.

yup! Ill do this... if i can get the little box, lol

What I want to know is if I can swap to the nicer "ding ding ding" from newer fiesta's.... a constant DEEEEEERRRR is very nasty

Was gonna say the same sort of thing - I fancy the sound that Phase 2 106s make

By the way, nice little guide

[AW3K]

I think the newer relay may be of the same pin out, i'm gunna go and raid a scrappy soon for a boot carpet so i may pick one up.

oh i wrote this guide before i actually fitted it and it's slightly wrong, as both brown/red wires need to be tapped into the light switch circuit and not in between the wire like previously stated,

dunno why but it didn't work as i stated in the guide.

it still works, rather annoying single tone tho

Just bought a warning chime module from a Granny - will let you all know how wiring goes once I decide whether I'm reshelling the shed

[Liebo]

Cool, please let me know how it goes

what is the number on the relay - to get a price from ford?

Strangley my MK 3.5 festa 2i doesn't have a buzzer, even tho its a later model?! Strange. Thanks for letting us know which gadget it is (the white box). I will check in mine for one. I reckon if its there it has been de-wired cuz i've got separate thatcham alarm and immobilizers.

Who knows which buzzer thingy sounds the nicest from whatever make? I like the idea of a soft ding dong not like the bzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise I used to have on my mk2 Astray.

Anyone got any ideas??

Wiring aint a problem whatever it is.
