nigel smith Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Hi all its been a while i hope everyone is good. i have purchased a couple of piezo buzzers from ebay. i was wondering if it would be possible to wire one to my indicator relay as a warning buzzer and if so how to wire it? i believe the buzzers are power red wire and zero vaults black wire ( i could be wrong) also the bike has hazard warning lights if that makes a difference thanks in advance nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ok, as you should really be wearing ear plugs or some sort of sound protection, probably have a fruity exhaust. Just how loud are these buzzers, even without all that you wont hear them over 10mph. You can barely talk to your pillion in traffic if your helmet is of any quality. Bad idea.

Moderator Cynic Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 Doesn't stop you saying bollox to my view and doing it anyhow, some of my best mods to my old land rover (there were many) were fuelled by somebody saying: "Idiot you can't do that", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 whats in the dash Nigel, a single idiot light?...if so connect in parallel to that maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nah, that's fed from left overs coming back along the earth path. Wont have the power for an inductive load like a buzzer. Could try wiring it same as the relay, put a positive feed to the piezo and then link the neg to the indicator switch INPUT which is an earth path. It should earth with the lamps. I say should depends on power and what type of indicators you have, etc. I think I would try that first myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Airhead Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 its not an inductive load Jason, its only a piezo! you could run that easily I'd expect... typically they draw just a few milliamps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 Ok, not sure on the piezo bit. just think the idiot light is a weak power source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I had a buzzer on my Honda some years ago this was the diagram it came with, well similar anyway, should give you an idea on how it wires in. looked similar to this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
