Headlight buzzer with a stock cluster

[mattswabb]

Last summer on my daily driver I left my lights on all day and ran the battery down. When I got home I put in my spare tach cluster so I'd have a warning buzzer. Now I need that cluster for my turbo car and I'm giving the daily driver to my daughter in the near future.

I don't want her driving without that buzzer cause I know she will forget the lights and I'll have to deal with it.

Is there any way to install a buzzer with the stock cluster?

I suppose you could figure a way to make it work if you were an electrical engineer, but look at it this way - orange tachs usually go for less than a battery on eBay, and even if it saves you one trip to rescue your daughter with a dead battery, that alone is worth the price of the extra tach. White tachs are about the same price as a battery.

Disclaimer: I have no tachs for sale on eBay!

why don't you install a battery tender or similar?

it will shut off the the battery current before it gets too low ,

so she can pop the hood, flip a switch, and start the car without a problem, if she were to drain the battery by accident.

two of my friends festivas have a buzzer wired in through the fuse panel, i think it was a dealer option or dealer installed thing caus i just pulled the same buzzer off of a car in the junkyard, ill let you know th wiring once i look at my friends car to wire in mine.

This is one thing I love about my 4 speed Festiva. If ever I run the battery down I can always push start it and dump the clutch .

OLDEST THREAD ALERT
I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to make a headlight warning yet.
I have left my lights on twice overnight. The problem is that I turn them on in the day when its dark overcast or rainy so people can see my tiny car. A second problem is that a light bulb has no minimum voltage and will drain the system dry.....
This problem became more severe a couple of days ago when both my car and truck were dead. I have a 400W inverter wired directly to the battery in my truck, and it draws a steady current even when off for the 5V DC USB port (which is where my Bluetooth is plugged in). I don't drive my truck often enough to keep the charge up. This has happened before but not at the same time as the car.
Luckily the neighbor let me borrow his battery charger.
Today I wired in a switched relay for the inverter so I can disconnect it for long periods of sitting.

Now.
To make an idiot alert for the headlights.

WOW! Good question.You had to do some serious digging to find this one. But Im gonna have to throw the flag because its over 4 yrs old.

We have installed a bunch of the little buzzers that attach underneath the fuses. Any parts house should know what you need, they are very cheap as well.
