If you are waiting for the blinking coolant LED to come on to tell you the engine is too hot then it is too late in my opinion... chances are that once it gets that hot you've already done damage. If you didn't see the alternator light on, nor the temperature gauge creeping up then how long will it take for that person to realize that the light is blinking. I am amazed at all these complex solutions people have for the original question at hand - which was to come up with an audible warning for when the V belt snaps. One relay and a buzzer is all that you need - none of this other crazy stuff involving signal processors and the like. No wonder the USA can't get back to the moon in under 8 years like they did in the 60s - people have forgotten about the keep it simple way of doing things.
