	1. Turn off your lights, and with your trusty tester check for 

hot terminals after you turn them back on.  Do this all while

the key is out of the ignition.  Find all of the fuses that do

this.



	2. Now put the key in, turn to alt, and repeat the above on

those you found in step 1.  This time, look for cold terminals which

used to be hot.  That way, the buzzer won't be on the whole time your

lights are on, only when they're on and the key is out of the

ignition.  



	I found the wire combo this way.  YMMV.  I'd tell you exactly were

the wires should go, but my car's out of touch for a while.
