Well you can still wire off the flasher just by adding a standard automotive 30amp relay to the circuit. Just put your buzzer on terminal 87A, and on terminal 30 to a 12v power source that is only on when the key is on then it will only supply the power to the buzzer when the flasher is cutting the power to the circuit.

You could use any relay that has both NO and NC contacts on it like the standard automotive 30 amp relay. There are many out there that are smaller that can be had.

If you need me to draw you up a simple wiring diagram of this let me know.

R.F.

Just put it across the terminals of the flasher relay. It will beep opposite the flash but it will beep nonetheless.

*edit* I wouldn't use anything beside a piezo beeper though, anything else will draw too much current and affect the flash-rate, possibly even stop it from flashing.

The coil of the relay will only draw 160ma at 13.6v so it's like adding approx 2 single LEDs in there, That isn't' gonna affect the flash rate any at all.

It works perfectly, and the flashers are still at or near the same rate. How could it be so simple,.....not even having to take the tank off or anything. Thanks to all Routy

YW, As for how could it be so simple, it's the central point of the turn signal system that is why
