Reversing Sounds & Interior Lights

Post by lwrida »

Having just bought my 96 FTO GPX Mivec late last year I'm getting the sh*ts with the beeping sound that occurs when you put the car in reverse.

Is there a way to turn this off?

And is there a way to turn the reading lamps off when you have a door open ?

As for the lights, I dunno, pull the bulbs out :D

You'd just have to rewire the door open trigger relay so that it would not turn the interior lights on (but still bring on the door open light on the dash).

Shouldn't be too hard to do for a sparky...
