Lights on reminder?
I was wondering if my 91 CRX SI should have a lights on reminder chime when I turn off the car. I had a 91 accord that had one, but so far I haven't found anything that leads me to think the crx has one. I just ask because if its something that I can fix that is broke I would do so, as I have a bad habbit of leaving my lights on after I get to work in the morning. If it didn't come with one does anyone know of anything that can be done to put one in?
Thanks
Thanks

Do they make something specific to for that, or are the 'buzzers' something that I would have to wire up a certain way to get it to work. Anymore info on this would be very helpful. Thanks!

It's just a buzzer with a positive and negitive lead. I forgot exactly what to connect it to, but you can stick it under the light fuse and another fuse that looses power when the car is off.

PacificDude, I looked at my fuse box and where you have that hooked up mine just has those empty places that are labeled 1 and 2.
I was just wondering if that was where you hooked it and had it work?
And just to understand, I hook up the buzzer to the lights and something that is off when the car is off, so that would mean it would buzz when one of the leads was on and one of the leads was off?

Pretty much. When the buzzer is getting +12v from both sides, nothing happens. When it gets +12v from the lights and a ground from the other side (when the car is off,) it will be obnoxious as hell.
