headlight reminder beeper?

ok guys so am i crazy or do the 1st gens come with a beeper to remind you if you leave your lights on? i remember mine had it but it doesnt work anymore. how do i fix it?? i hate when i go camping/hunting and drive in the morning i always forget to turn them off when the sun comes up and the battery dies lol. any help would be appreciated

 

Huh? In my '01 DCSB the lights will turn off automatically when I open the doors if they are left on.

 

i thing pre 01s have a beeper but not sure ill see what others have to say

 

My 98 has a constant chime reminder.

 

ok cool any idea where it is or how to fix it??

 

Sorry, I do not

 

It will take a bit of troubleshooting. I might be able to help. I have a basic model SR5 without electric locks or windows, or tach, etc. My headlight/tail-light reminder does work, however. It emits a constant tone when I open the door. The buzzer sounds like its under the dash near the drivers left knee.

The ignition key reminder seems use the same buzzer. If I leave the key in the ignition, and open the door, the buzzer goes off (pulsing, not constant). I think the "integration relay" controls the sound made by the buzzer, depending on the situation detected.

Does your ignition key reminder work?

 

You could always buy a buzzer from radio shack and put it in where the parking light fuse is. I did that for an old toyota pickup I had.

 

Shit to tell you the truth I don't think either works but ill check when I get home. Toyota probably sells that little buzzer right?

 

I couldn't find the buzzer in the wiring diagrams, it may be included in the 'integrated relay'. Likely a pricey item.

If both the ignition and headlight minder are not working, then it might just be a fuse. My FSM lists a blown dome-light fuse under the hood, as a possible cause.

The dome-light also is connected to the door switch. If all three are not working properly, then it could be that door switch, near the drivers left shin.
