I read somewhere that a burnt/toasted headlight buzzer maybe be the cause of my dash lights continuing to quickly burn fuses. I wanted to take a look at it if my car actually has one. I just don't have any idea where it is located and what it looks like. Any help would great. Thanks!

Not equipped on a 76. 80 or 81 got one I think.

Easy to locate, it clipped over the dash illumination fuse with a piggy back clip. More than likely your main cluster circuit board.

76 doesn't have one. It has a key buzzer. The key buzzer is the buzzer with 4 wires. The seat belt buzzer only needs two wires. So two buzzers under there.
In 1981, they came up with a little brain box that rolled a headlight buzzer into the key buzzer. I don't really know where I got this idea, but on my website I had written that this was included in the lamp group. It's made in such a way that it'll fit any year.

I think you have them flip-flopped. Key is 2 wire, seatbelt has 4.

You're right, sorry. The seatbelt has a timer, so that would take 4 wires to do that old school, wouldn't it? The key switch is double-switched, but I guess they did that with one switch on each wire.
