genneton4 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi, I have a 1990 Supersprint and want to introduce an indicator buzzer. I have trawled the website but can't find an exact answer.Could I simply change the existing Flasher relay for a Flasher/buzzer relay ?If so, how many pins and who stocks them ?Thanks - Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted January 29, 2018 Member Share Posted January 29, 2018 There's a circuit diagram and suggested products somewhere...would you like to do it with two buzzers or one buzzer and some diodes?But are you sure that you only want an immediate buzzer and not an adjustable-delayed-onset-of-buzzing device?I'll find the discussions in the archives when you've decided.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_w Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I bookmarked this on ebay some time back ebay item he has ones with led lights in his other items as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Another option is to fit side repeaters (Transit Connect / Fiat Punto) in the sides of the headlights so you can see they are on.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just needs one buzzer from Maplin - connected to centre leg of indicator switch and earth - if I remember correctly. No diodes needed. Velcroed to back of dash near switch it's plenty loud enough to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 ...as irritating as double posts (seems to happen every time I post now...... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumster Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I fitted a buzzer many years ago and to be honest it eventually got on my t*ts, it actually gets pretty irritating after a while. The buzzer got binned in the end. I now find that a bright LED warning light is my preferred way forward. Just my 2p worth..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genneton4 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks for your wisdoms. I think I'll plan a pincer movement on this. 1) I will get a cheap relay/buzzer (£1.82) off ebay and replace the Caterham indicator relay unit.If this fails ...2) I will try Bricol's method and plumb in a 2 wire buzzer on the indicator switch (connect to the middle spade and to earth).As belt and braces I might also change the indicator switch for a green illuminated jobby !I'll let you know when my stuff arrives on the slow boat !

DJ. Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I fitted the delay buzzer from ebay linked to by mark_w. It was really easy to fit and has been excellent. Most of the time it doesn't come on, but is nice and loud when i do forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I fitted one of these...Something that buzzes all the time is annoying... forgetting to switch the indicators off is annoying... this is a good middle ground for me! oops... edited to add: see #3 in this thread... “great minds...” and all that...!

Doug phillips Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 How loud is that eBay buzzer, would I be able to hear it with earplugs and a aeroscreen ?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I can hear mine under such circumstances (just!) As it is designed for bikes whose riders will have helmets on, it should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Big Col, Mark_w, cheers for the heads up about that buzzer which comes on after a set time. Sounds ideal. (I don’t want a buzzer all the time)Just this week I followed a tin top who had left their indicator on and I cringed at every side road they sailed past. None of us are perfect and this might just prevent me from causing an accident. Ordered. Will report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug phillips Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks, think I shall get one on order. And add it to the todo list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Belding Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I fitted one of these a year ago. Brilliant!http://www.audicator.com/product.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I fitted the buzzer, although it comes with lots of stuff to fix wires I used two double blade crimps on the red wires and earthed it to to screw of the switch so it’s earthed to the dash. The unit is now in behind my knee panel so easy to get to. I found it works well on 15 or so flashes then beep. Adjusting it seems a little finicky, but they supply the screw driver too. The twin blades allow you to just unplug and piggyback the wires to the switch left and right. The small box has a lid, you adjust timer by the screw on the blue area. If you over adjust turning the screw anti clockwise 15 times gets it back to the small delay setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
