Default Ground on off position

I have a 88 civic. my kid keeps leaving the lights on and killing the battery. i have a buzzer and know how of how to do it but need to locate a relay that has a grounded position with the key off only. you jump the buzzer between the headlight circut and this to make it work. anyhow does anyone know where this contact might be found. i have heard there is one in the defrost relay but it seems weird as well as still don't know where it is. Thanks

Default RE: Ground on off position

Connect the (-) end of the buzzer to the ignition circuit. The components will draw enough current to ground to operate a buzzer but not fire the ignition.
