Audible Door Locks
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but the electrical section really was no help...
I have been reading that it is possible to tap into the gas cap lock wires and attach a pizeoelectric buzzer. I hate having to turn around to make sure my car is locked so this is something I really want to do now that the weather is nice.
So far I've removed the sidewall cover in the boot and there is a massive bundle of wires. Does anyone know which go to the gas cap solenoid?

I do not have an alarm.
I forgot my flashlight so the someone verify the color combinations are correct. Here is what you do...
Fine the two wire coming from the back of the fuel door. Those are the only two wires you need to deal with. All other wires should be left untouched. If the harness in your hands has more then two wires, you have the wrong harness. If the harness in your hands has wires with different colors, you have the wrong harness.
Connect the black (-) from the "buzzer" to the brown/yellow wire
Connect the red (+) from the "buzzer" to the white/brown wire.
If you reverse the above it will beep on unlock.
Shouldn't take more the 5mins to do and you don't need to unhook anything to tap the wires.
If my colors don't agree with your car let me know and I can run back down with a flashlight and update my post.

No sure of the brand but radio shack has them (Piezo buzzer) for about $8.00-9.00 (IIRC it was 12vDC @ 80db). It is actually too loud for me and needed some tape over it to dull it down some. It is as loud as any other alarm siren/buzzer.
This one should work fine. Mine is different but most Piezo sirens are about the same thing. I didn't want to wait for shipping so I just ran down to Radio Shack.

Got the clips and this buzzer that didn't work. Back to Radio Shack to look for a different buzzer.
