As always, thanks for your help guys.

I'm sold on the idea of fitting it in that little round punchout.

Bonus was finding the same part that others are happy with.

Anyway, RS doesn't have the original part in stock.

Is that a Back Up Buzzer? That would be an awesome thing to add to the 60 'cuz I can't see sh!t when backing up!

@ToyotaMatt - question for you - buzzer is that which is?

I’ve rigged this buzzer up and it works as described, however, with the engine running and the lights ON, and the heater OFF the buzzer still sounds. When I turn the heater ON the buzzer stops. If the lights are off there is no buzzer in any configuration. What is going on here? I’m noticing now that the PO had some kind of sound system/cb/ham radio set up in here. There’s lots of dead end wires. He tapped into the defrost fuse for something else too. I guess I need to dig deeper...

Maybe if I hooked it up to the gauge fuse rather than the ac fuse it might not do that... hahaha...
