Light buzzer

I have an 89 RS. After I have started the engine and switch the lights on the dam buzzer comes on. Is there any obvious reason why the buzzer is coming on.

The audible alarm alerts you when the seat belt is not fastened or when your door morphs into a jar.

If it’s staying on when it’s not supposed to one of the actuating switches might not be opening.

Re: Light buzzer

Nina is right, it seems like door chime module isn't getting all the right inputs.
In this specific case, I'd bet that it's not getting full 12V on the pink ignition wire which make it think (if hardware can have thoughts ) that you turned your headlights on without turning the key on.

I'd try wiggling the door chime module in its socket, maybe even pulling it out and cleaning the contact blades. If that doesn't help, it's time to start measuring wires.

Re: Light buzzer

Is it the headlights ON warning or the door open/key in the ignition warning going off?

I'm assuming the warning turns on only when the headlights are switched on?

If it's the headlights ON warning, try turning the dimmer full dim. The warning should turn off. If this is the case, I'd look for a bad headlight switch.
