Title: SONALERT
Post by: DgM on July 21, 2009, 01:13:01 PM

I would like to install a Sonalert into the turn signal circuit of my 1983 R65 for an audio reminder the turn signals are flashing.  Sonalert draws almost imperceptible amount of power.  Any suggestions on best location to intercept turn signal circuit?  Thanks.

The relay on mine (1980) is located behind the RH side panal and there are spare relay mounts under the fuel tank you should be able to rig a buzzer like the ones for towing in this area talk to someone who fits towbars they will probebly sort something out fairly cheap if you dont want to rig it yourself.

I hooked up a small buzzer on a 1975 R90/6 I once had.  I just tapped into both left and right turn signals with two 1n914 steering diodes to simulate an OR gate.  Worked like a champ...
