this past weekend i realized i was receiving audible alerts from my Merc outboard indicating my oil injection was failing - a BEEP BEEP BEEP... (making progress with this in a different thread, thanks to your feedback).
at first, i didn't realize the alert was signaling. we were running at a pretty good pace (with it being 2 cycle, you know how loud that can be), against a steady wind and with the radio blaring. it took a minute or so for me to realize the alert was sounding. my alert horn must be hidden somewhere within my center console. i'd like to put an LED or light indicator on my dash to get a visual notification in addition to the audible alert. Seems like it could be doable, assuming the indicating horn is probably simple electrical contact triggered on and off from the engine. could i tap into that same alert horn power/ground source to extend the alert to also power a bulb?
