Indicators too quiet

[Tdci_boy]

Oon of my customers has a 07 connect & wants his indicators made louder (he is old) I had thought maybe a simple buzzer piggy backed onto the flasher relay, although I found the wire that goes 13v to 0 in time with the flashers, it remains at 13v with the indicators off, any one either done this or can think of something that at the mo I'm missing.

Just fit a buzzer like when wiring up a towbar.

That's what I tried to do but it just buzzed once the indicators were turned off

[MrMPuk]

I meant wire it at the indicators as you would normally rather than at the relay.

A small buzzer should be available from Maplin, maybe even a beeper.
Run two wires, one from each positive on left and right indicators, through diodes to the buzzer. Then earth on the negative.

Diodes are electrickery, and allow volts through only one way. Suitable diodes are 1N4001, about 10p each, or ask your local TV repair shop.

Hope this helps

Thanks for that, I'm going to be installing a door open buzzer for the rear doors soon so I'll take another look then & let you know

Must admit they are very quiet a few times I have left them on by mistake

The chap that owns this 1 is about 60 so the hearing is going, when I did the same to his Kangoo it was a piece of cake, just piggy backed a buzzer of the relay. I'll play & let you all know what I did
