Lights on warning...

Checking if its easy enough to have a relay to disconnect the 12V supply with the lights to a buzzer/gong

All the greens are live with ignition, and theres a purple (i think) that is live with stage 1 of the key. Not certain about the purple but im sure you'll find out for yourself when youve got your head under there

On the ignition switch connector (S.B. clipped to the column), red is perm 12V, purple is 12V ignition 1 and 2, Green is 12V ignition 2, but all unfused.
There are various fused wires around as well. You looking for ignition 1 or ignition 1 and 2 ?
