Stridey Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My car didn’t have a buzzer but I fitted a kit that delay buzzer till about 20 flashes, adjustable.ive just seen they have updated it so it only sounds when brake light is off, which seems like a good idea.https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F251337237605 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I have now fitted a micro switch that connects to brake pedal, when pressed it cuts out the beeper speaker. So in traffic, no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisel86 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Hi Stridey, was the kit you bought fairly easy to fit? I already have a buzzer, do you think it would be an easy swap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I had an issue with the upgrade version but the seller offered to replace, diagnosed as a possible relay problem. The first kit I had without the on/off feature worked fine and was simple to fit, basically you piggy back it off the indicator switch itself with those blade type plugs that have an extra tab to piggy back another blade into. I like the way it’s adjustable so doesn’t beep for around 15, 20 flashes, so it’s your call if you want that feature with these units. So, my advice is if you already have a buzzer adding a micro switch to cut the buzzer itself might be easiest and cheapest. I fitted switch with tape and cable ties (thin ones) to the horizontal pedal mounting bracket so the lever of the micro switch is triggered by pedal push. The switch I got was under £2. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F230788849314you simply find buzzer and wire switch into it to cut power, the micro switch is marked with ‘normally on’ ornormally off’ circuits so very easy to figure out.Simple enough for me, as soon as you come off the brake it’s beeping again.
