I would like to disable the irritating side-lights warning buzzer on my 1999 Felicia 1.3 mpi. Is it safe to remove the relay [R6 ?] or possibly the fuse [f11 ?] ? I fear that this might screw-up the computer or something. Any thoughts ? regards.. TIB

Computer?

Nah the Felicia is all clockwork mate

Should be ok to pull the relay.

Dear Mr Lummox

Many thanks for the "Brisk" reply. The buzzer is more of an irritation than a help.

The buzzer is more of an irritation than a help.

Why? Mine only sounds when the lights are on, the engine is off and the door is open.

Is yours sounding in a different situation?

if it were'nt for the buzzer i would have to bump start my car every morning.

Its really useful - or your end up with a dead battery. My sister hasn't got one on here Daihatsu - and she left her lights on, to find out later she had a flat battery! We are going to see about fitting one to her car. If I were you I would leave it in - you might end up with a flat battery otherwise.

Saved me many a flat battery

the buzzer's a boon rather than an irritant

Hello could someone tell me what year they put these buzzers on and would it be easy to fit one mine is a 98 model thanks

My 98 1.3 lxi has a buzzer

my favorit had one and the rapid before that

Why can't they make it so that when you turn off the ignition, the lights turn off too? (aka Subaru)

Ignition on - Lights on

Ignition off - Lights off

Simple.

No more annoying buzzers and no flat batteries.

the only thing i find annoying about the buzzer is using the boot light,

you need the side ligths on, for it to get power, what up with that?

surely it should come on when the boot opens?

It even has a switch so it can be turned off? why?

(oh i just realised the switch is there because the boot light is on when the lights are on, so at night all the time!)

Must only be on early models

mine has no switch and is only on when opening the boot

In Sweden, dipped bean headlights on is compulsory also in daylight which means that all cars are equipped whith automatic lights. Often (as in my Felly) this means that for main beam and dashboard lights I must turn the lights on manually (and remember to switch them off) but I guess that you could come round this with alternative wiring.

Complete sets (wiring and relay) in Sweden is about

Which makes sense with your tree-lined roads. What is the point someplace like here where there are basically no trees?

What's annoying about a "lights on" buzzer? I've never owned a car that didn't have one, and found the V@*xh@11s I've hired without them more annoying cos I got paranoid about them not reminding me!

There's fog and drizzle (and people forgetting putting on their lights or thinking that pilot lights are enough) and when driving towards the sun it's far more easy to note meeting cars. But I admit that now and then it's useless, and on rainy city streets it can even be a nuisance.

But it was off-topic, admittely (sorry). As to the main question I agree with you and others, the buzzer is a good thing and only annoying in those very rare instances when you have lights on, engine off and door open.

Our buzzer is broken and doesn't work any more. Does any one know how to mend it? Fuse 11 I think someone said earlier and relay 6? Or could it be the buzzer itself?

Thank you for any tips or suggestions.

Are you asking about Felicia? Or about Fabia?

First of all congratulations for bringing an old thread to life, that is very good !

Second in your profile you write Model: Fabia but this is for Favorit-Felicia area.
