    The wife likes to leave her lights on. Does anyone know of a buzzer I can put on the car to alert her that the light are on when she turns engine off?

    I was always leaving my parking lights on so I installed a buzzer in my Mav. I installed another...dome light switch...in the door. I ran a wire from the parking lights to the switch and then to a buzzer I got from Radio Shack...if I open the door with the lights on it buzzes...:thumbs2:

    You could get a package on Gran Torinos called the "Visibility Group" that included a lights on buzzer, and mine has it. Not sure if it was available on Mavericks.

    I can remember growing up back in Illinois in the 70's, and my family had an Elite also. If memory serves me correctly, I think it was dark green metallic 75' or 76', when they dropped the "Gran Torino", and just called them "Elite".

    I can't remember if it had the key buzzer in ours. :hmmm:

    The folks '71 Galaxie 500 had a key buzzer... AFAIK that car wasn't anything special, I always thought the buzzer was a std feature... I know it was irritating...

    I can't remember the first car I owned with one, probably a '74 Pinto wagon... Most were disconnected(or worn out) by the time I bought the car...

    "irritating"...it's a "training tool". with mine, after opening the door several times with the lights on, I now subconsciously check the light switch before I open the door...:yup:
