hi im work in car audio and communications
im currently installing hand brake warning systems into a ford ranger but they dont have door switch's and can't install new ones as it voids the warrenty on the car.
i have sort of solved the problem by using the dome light wire but now when the voltage raises when the door is closed the buzzer will change pitch with the voltage increasing down the wire
its a negitive feed system and need a way to make a circuit so when the dome light wire only goes to .5V or lower it will switch a relay or transister anything above .5v the buzzer wont go off.
or
i used a relay to see if i could get it work the way i wanted but the trouble is as the voltage increase across the coil the relay makes a funny sound so can i use transisters instead of a relay
in a relay configuration i would put 12v on 86 and use the doom light to activate the coil on pin 85 and then use 30 on ground and 87a on the buzzer side so when the relay see's a ground from the dome light it will earth out turning on the buzzer
any help be great
