Seat belt warning circuit

[jclay (RIP 2018)]

I just checked the wiring diagrams, page 7, for TR8s (you can get it from the download site) and the UK spec cars do not have a warning buzzer for the seat belts, just a light. All other cars had the seat belt switch, key-in switch and warning light going through one buzzer.

In US cars the Pektron unit in the back of the glove box is the buzzer.

Lucky you. The buzzer isn't a pleasant chime like on today's cars. It is one of the most annoying buzzes ever. While I never had one new, I had friends that bought 7s and 8s new. One of the first things they did when they got the cars home was to disconnect the darned thing.

same here, mine went probably the second year I owned the car, one day it started to continually buzz....so after a little searching found the mystical box in the glove compartment....it must now have been binned or put in the depths of the shed ....., as i have no clue where it's currently hiding.......
