Fog Light switch warning buzzer
Could someone please take a look at my wiring diagram and let me know how I would wire a warning buzzer into this circuit for when the switch is left
on and the headlights are off and when the ignition is switched off.
The reason it is wired like this was to get around the issue of the switch I have used needed not to be a switch earth but this is how my loom is used
to switch the fog lights on the Sierra stalks - see this thread
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=206727
Preferably I would like to somehow do it from the left hand realy if possible as this is accessable, the other relay is behind the dash I I would like
to not have to take it apart again if at all possible.
 
Description
I have tried to figure this out for myself but getting nowhere

You don't need to fo this for IVA.
I got it confirmed a while back.
I can confirm that the requirements for the rear fog lamp are still that they only operate when dipped beam, main beam or front fog lamps are
lit.
The requirements of note 4 will therefore only apply if the rear fog lamp then operates if the position lamps are switched off and back on, as is
possible on some modern CAN bus wiring systems. As most kit cars take the
fog lamp feed directly from the headlamp circuit, this will not be possible and as such there is no requirement for the systems listed in note 4 to be
fitted.
I do hope that you have found this information to be of use. However, if you feel that I can be of further assistance in this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,

Of course. It was over a few emails so let me know yours and i will pass it on. There were also 3 or 4 of his colleagues copied in (by him) so not
something that wasnt a 'departmental' decision.

Hi have sent you a U2u with my email address.
I did the same thing about the Unleaded insert for the fuel cap which was originally in the IVA manual and has now been removed. Emailed them and got
clarification that it is no longer required.
Would be a good idea to post these details in the IVA section so others have clarification on items that regularly seem to cause confusion.
Thanks

They are somewhere, discussed when it was first introduced, just long lost down the trail of posts now.
