Default Need some info/help

I have a 93 coupe.
Im assuming that if you leave your lights on and exit the car , you should get
some kind of reminder you left them on. a buzz or beep noise. My car does nothing.
also I just found out that when I was low on gas, the check gauges light comes on
but no noise to get your attention. What got my attention was the car hesitating as
I gave it gas.
I just wondering if this normal , or do I need to track down a bad fuse.
I did a search and didnt find anything with this issue.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

My car will not beep or ding. I figured this was normal.

My 87 will ding the same warning as keys in the ignition with door open.

Thanks for that online manual, It does say
There should be a chime if you leave the headlights on and turn off the ignition.
It does not say anything about a chime for low fuel. ( so i guess this is normal)
Now the question is "Why doesnt my car chime with the headlights on and ignition off"?
Everything else works , Im guessing that there wasnt a dedicated fuse for this.
The manual gives no further info on this matter.
Any ideas?
could it be a bad ignition switch?
Thanks

You need a factory service manual. You need to find the chime in your car, there is a box that does that, and see if it's getting sent a signal. That's where I'd start.

Got to get a FSM if you don't already have one.

Look on Fleabay, and make sure you get the manuals with the RED covers.

The white covers are the preliminary editions. They don't contain as much info as the red covers.

Personally I like mine to not chime in any vehicle. It gets annoying.
