The headlights wouldn't stay on once the engine is shut off anyway. Try
wiring the stereo to be always hot--then you won't even need the key to
listen to your stereo. I used a spare rear window defroster switch put in
the extra blanked off spot on the dash to control the "switched" power lead
to the stereo. I picked up power from the 4-way flasher switch--this is
always hot.

Subject: "Headlights On" Warning Chimes?
Some time ago, I got tired of listening to the first three notes of "La
Cucaracha" every time I left the driver's side door open. For one thing,
it's a real drag if you want to listen to music outside the van, with the
front doors open. An electrician friend identified the culprit (a block
inserted on the back side of the fuse box), which I removed.
It has since occurred to me that it would be real handy if these chimes
could be activated not by leaving the front door open but rather whenever
the ignition is "off" and the headlights are left "on."
Is this possible? If so, could someone explain the necessary wiring (in
very basic terms)?
