     Peter,

     I have that lite-minder on my 91 (installed, coincidentally enough, in 

     Atlanta) :)

     

     The red lead goes to the "tail" fuse. (or any circuit that's hot when 

     the lights are on) Using the tail light fuse means you get a warning 

     when just the parking lights are on, which is the most common way to 

     leave then on.

     

     The white lead goes to the "cigar" fuse (or any circuit that's hot 

     when the accessory switch is on.)

     

     Be glad - you've got one of the "easy" cars to install this sucker. :)

While searching through my garage yesterday, I found an unopened K-Mart 

Lite-Minder kit and had some 

questions about it:

     

The buzzer has two wires: one red and one white.

     

Red goes to "Instrument Panel Lamps fuse" and white 

goes to "any other fuse that makes the buzzer 

sound when lights are left on."

     

What the hell does this mean?

     

Has anyone hooked the hot lead to the headlight fuse?

     

Any insight would be MOST helpful.
