Besides the kit that was mentioned when this thread kicked off earlier
today, I came up with a way to do it in my '84, and posted about it
several months ago. The Vanagon archives don't work with anything but IE
and here, under Ubuntu Linux, I don't have access to IE. I connected a
buzzer across two fuses. Don't recall which two. Someone else will need
to do a search for my post.
