Hi Paul:

I bought such a thing from Canadian Tire nearly 20 years ago and
installed it in the TR6. It's saved me from draining the battery many a
time since. It was a pretty common sort of gizmo back then. I'm sure the
Internet has them listed.

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: [TR] Aftermarket Anti-battery draining device

Several times I have found my 1996 Nissan vehicle to have a dead battery
as a
result of having left on the lights.  Also, a long time ago I wired up
another
vehicle which had this device (which I installed) which hada buzzer that
sensed when this occured ( battery draining while the ignition was off).

Radio Shack no longer carries this device (I remember it was like $15
then),
and I couldn't find one on the internet.  (Maybe I didn't use the right
keywords on Ebay?).  Surely the need for such a thing hasn't vanished
and I
hope some battery conglomerate didn't buy out the buzzers.   WHERE CAN I
GO TO
GET ONE?

Later, when I get my TR3's wiring straightened out, I'd like to add such
a
device.  Can i use a similar buzzer on my TR?

thanks,
Paul Dorsey
60 TR3
