Right.

I found out this morning that the lights on buzzer is toast as the battery was dead.

Before I start to dive in the car could you gentlemen/ladies give a hint or even a photo of where the buzzer is located, please?

for my US-spec 97 the car automatically turns off the lights as soon as you open the door (when ignition is off), regardless if the switch is on. we don't have a warning buzzer. if i want the parking light on without a key, i simply cycle through the switch (off-on) and the lights turn back on still with no buzzer warning.

our buzzer is to notify us the key which is in the ignition only. it might differ in your country or in older models. anyone with a 90-94 care to verify?

Same here in the UK with my 1994,no lights on buzzer just a ding ding if the key is in the ignition with the door open and lights go out as soon as driver's door is opened.

Thanks, gentlemen.

As it turns out the buzzer worked this morning just fine. Could be that it had a brief contact failure or I'm losing even more of the high pitched sounds - result of having been drummer in a punk band in the late seventies, perhaps.

Well that make sense.... I was gonna say, my 86' and 87' Toyota Cressidas shut thier own lights off too, I would hope they would have the LS400 do that as well from the start!
