Slow vehicle safety
It's real simple once you get past the engineering mumbo jumbo. Buy the diode you choose (either should be fine), find the wire for the signal you want to run to the buzzer, wire the non-striped end of the diode to it. Find the wire for the buzzer. Wire the striped end to it. DONE! (repeat... -

That little current for that much noise?! I'm impressed. I should have looked it up I guess... IIRC Radio Shack has 1N400x (1 through 7, all 1A rated and varying from 50V PIV to 1000V PIV iirc) in 25-pack assortments for under $5 and 1N540x (or suitable equivalents, they only specify 3A) in... -

It's the current that supplies that really loud buzzer, not sure of rating but I would aim for at least a 5 or 10 amp rectifier. Anything from about a 1N5807 to a 1N5816 rectifier would probably do the trick. Most silicon rectifiers these days are at least a 50 volt rating and all of those... -

As long as both are positive switched 24 volt signals, just get a 24 volt relay, wire the coil across the lines for the turn signal (or turn signal blinker module, I'd have to check the wiring diagrams) and the NO and COM terminals on the relay across the pressure switch for the low air buzzer... -

Slow vehicle safety
To add fuel to the fire I have texted and driven. I can type on my phone without looking at the keypad except for a fraction of a second every 8 letters or so to spellcheck. I keep my eyes on the road for more time while texting than I do while checking my mirrors preparing for a merge. I... -

Slow vehicle safety
I have noticed this - when I am extremely tired and driving the tendency is for the lights to attract my eyes, and it is difficult to walk or drive somewhere you aren't looking. This is why I pull over and take a 15 minute nap, a tree watering break, a food break, just get out and stretch...
