Light Buzzer Not Working

Recommended Posts

shalmaneser

Hi,

 

Was flicking through The '93/'94 205 brochure (which is fairly interesting actually...) and noticed that the 205 is supposed to have a 'lights on warning buzzer' here at the bottom of 'exterior'. It's not standard on all the models, but is on the Gti SDTD etc.

 

Mines a late '89, Phase 1.5 and it doesn't make any noises when I open the door and leave the lights on - was it only introduced phase 2 or later, or should I have it, it'd be very useful! Normally not a problem cos I'm not a muppet, but I always drive with the lights on, and left them one once by accident when going to the shops. Was only gone for 10 minutes, so no worries, but I'd rather not have it happen again and have to beg a jump start!

 

Any tips on what might be up, and good places to start looking?

 

Ta,

 

Adam.

pretty sure they're only fitted on phase 2 on cars, my 89 GTi hasn't got one, but my 93 309 does.

I had this with mine and I was told that the buzzer is sited on the steering column under the plastic cowling. I wouldn't know whether its supposed to be on Ph1.5, but if it is not then you can make your own.

They don't last forever, or sound terrible, or have been ripped out because they're annoying i can imagine!!

 

They're a white thing similar to a relay iirc. ;)

Hmmm, looks like I'll just have to be more careful in future! Odd that they're not fitted as standard - I guess I just adds to the Ph1 /1.5 205's character!

 

Wonder if they can be retro-fitted?

 

I'll have to have a poke around in a phase 2 next time one turns up at the scrappy.
