The Ford Barn

My project installing a vehicle warning buzzer alerting, that the vehicle running lights were left on after you shut the engine off, was a real learning task for me. I now know that, any device that requires or may incorporate the “Henry Ford” ignition wiring circuit is pretty much impossible.

After reading a few replies from a number of “Barn” members, I finally have to admit - one of the simplest ways to install an alert device, as I wanted or tried to do, is to use “Barn” member - JacksonIII’s idea. He has a video tape explaining the installation -

A six dollar push button switch, few feet of wiring, a 6V buzzer, a couple of stake-on connectors, 3/8” power drill and some time. The alert buzzer works A OK. THANKS JACKSONIII
