Description: The car's small lamp and headlight can drain the battery if they are not turned off, leading to engine starting issues. A simple circuit, developed around 1980, can prevent this problem. It includes a series circuit with a diode and a 12V buzzer connected to the door switch. When the small lamp is on, 12V is supplied, and the diode prevents reverse voltage to the buzzer. The circuit stops current flow to the small lamp when it is turned off. The diode is installed at the buzzer's terminal, as shown in the schematic. This setup is useful when trading in a used car. If needed, the circuit can be disconnected easily. Insulating tape should be applied to soldered connections for safety. Voltage measurements can be taken at the small lamp switch to troubleshoot issues.
The circuit operates by integrating a 12V buzzer and a silicon diode to create a feedback mechanism that alerts the user when the small lamp remains illuminated after the vehicle's door is closed. The diode is crucial as it prevents any backflow of voltage that could potentially damage the buzzer or interfere with the circuit's operation.
The schematic diagram indicates that the diode is placed in series with the buzzer and the door switch. When the door is closed, the circuit completes, and the buzzer sounds if the small lamp is still on, alerting the user to turn it off, thus preventing battery drain. This design is particularly beneficial in older vehicles that may not have automatic shut-off features for interior lights.
To implement this circuit, the diode should be connected to the positive terminal of the buzzer, ensuring that the anode is aligned with the power supply and the cathode is connected to the buzzer. The buzzer should be positioned in a location that is easily accessible for troubleshooting. Insulating tape should be used to secure all connections, minimizing the risk of shorts or accidental disconnections.
For maintenance or troubleshooting, the circuit allows for quick disconnection, which is advantageous when transitioning to a new vehicle. If voltage testing is required, it is recommended to use a multimeter to measure the voltage across the small lamp switch while operating the switch. If there are concerns about safety during testing, wrapping the needle part of the multimeter probe with tape can provide additional insulation and protection against accidental contact.
This circuit design is a practical solution for ensuring that vehicle lighting does not inadvertently lead to battery issues, enhancing the overall reliability of the vehicle's electrical system.Does does it forget to be erased the small lamp and the headlight of the car, the battery go up, and is there what to the engine has not started once and twice everyone I am using it for a long time since then thinking about the circuit that prevents this in around 1980. It is possible to do with an easy circuit and try by all means, please. Even if it fails and the car is broken, I am not concerned at all. It is a circuit that the part where the schematic diagram is yellow adds. The series circuit of the diode and 12V buzzer is only added between the place and the door switch 12V`s being impressed when the small lamp is lit. The purpose of the silicon diode is to prevent the backward voltage from hanging to the buzzer. The current is prevented from in a word AUTO room lamp SW, closed the door, and flowing to the small lamp circuit through the buzzer when the small lamp is turned off.
The diode and the joining terminal are installed in the buzzer as shown in the photograph. The purpose is to remove at once when trading a used car in for a new one. Though the person who can remove soon may connect directly. The insulating tape is rolled in the soldering part after this. If do the prick of the needle to the electric wire and small lamp SW is operated while measuring the voltage between bodies with the tester, it is easily searchable. Please wrap the tape around the eye of a needle part if you are anxious.
