RS 13v buzzer with built-in diode, p/n 273-055, 12v SPST reed relay p/n 275-333. Relay coil from hot to door switch (activates relay when door open). Buzzer red lead to parking light circuit, black lead to relay common, relay NO to ignition circuit (not keyswitch unless you add a load resistor from keyswitch to ground).

You need more than a resistor for TTL, you need a regulated 5v +/- 0.25v circuit -- but you don't need any of that for CMOS logic which works at 12v. david
