i have an 86 monte and an 84.
the 86 has the lights on and the key buzzer and ive been used to it for close to 30 yrs now.
the 84 is newer to me and i left the headlights on the other day because it was raining and i forgot to turn them off.
is my car just missing a simple plug in buzzer?
it has a buzzer when you first put the key in but none for the lights.

i see they sell aftermarket buzzer kits that are pretty cheap.
im just wondering if everything is there with mine from the factory and possibly i just need to hook it up or plug in a buzzer.

If the 84 didn't come with the buzzer use the gray wire for the dash illumination lights for the positive side of a buzzer and ground it to the white ground wire for the courtesy lights.

If the lights are on and the door is opened the buzzer would sound.

The wiring did change between some models, but a lot of GM's of the era were pin compatible. When I replaced mine, I ordered one from a C4 Corvette as they seem to be easier to find.
