<VV> Fan Warning

[jimster1]

NO, and that's only part of the problem.  In my convertible, with the top
down, both alternator and oil pressure warning lights are invisible.  That's
why I came up with a simple circuit that sounds a screeching piezo horn in
the event of loss of oil pressure or fan belt.
