The instructions basically advise connecting the red lead to a fuse tied

to the lights (such as the tail lights which always work even when there

is no key in the ignition) and the white lead to an ignition-tied

function - such as the wiper fuse. In fact, the "tail light" and "wiper"

fuses are the very ones recommneded in a Lite Minder note in Miata

Magazine in 1991. Problem is that the configuration doesn't work on a

'96. Apparently things have been rewired. I've got a '96 Special Edition

with alarm system and a reminder buzzer when I've left the key in the

ignition and open the door. But no combination of fuse points seems to

get the Lite Minder to chirp when leaving the parking lights on after

taking the key out of the ignition.
