Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII

my wife keeps asking for the same thing to be done in the bus! her honda
has one, and i gotta say it's pretty nice. I think selectively placed
relay off of the light swtich and ignition key switch thing would be the
trikc. But i don't htink it's as trivial as this. I am thinking some
digital logic, like a ttl gate.

put cascadeded  "AND" gate in there, like this i suppose:
-if lights are on
AND
-key is in the ignition
AND door is open
equals annoying chime.
else no chime

all of the necessary pick-up wires are there (the door open, key in
ignition and light on), but you';d need to slap a resistor in it to make
12v into 1v (or maybe they are 15V ttl chips?)....
