A while ago I modified my 'key-in-ignition-and door-open-buzzer' into a 'lights-on-reminder-buzzer'. Great option and no problems so far. I recently added an interior light dimmer (#844055 at

to let the interior lights stay on for 20secs after I closed the door. This component is electronically placed parallel to the door-switch and lets the current flow when the door is closed. Now I have this problem. In the past, when the headlights were on and I closed the door, the buzzer would stop immediately, just as you would expect. Now, with the dimmer connected, the buzzer 'fades out' with the interior light. I don't want that! I read in some post a while ago that you could prevent this by placing a diode somewhere in the circuitry. I have searched over and over again, but I can't find this post... Do any of you guys (and girls) have any idea what to do? Any experience with this sort of problem? Thanks!
