weird problem, headlight warning buzzer

Ok, weird thing. Seems my warning buzzer(beeper) works opposite of what is is supposed to do. Instead of beeping when you turn off the ign. to let you know your headlights are still on, my beeper beeps with the engine running and headlights on. I unplugged the little black plastic box(the beeper i guess). whats this thing called and does it tend to go bad? thanx in advance.

Unless you feel you absolutley need the chime just leav it unplugged and forget about it.

THANKS MIKE BOYLE

That was going to be my next question(any harm in leaving it unplugged). Just wondering though, is this normal (for it to work opposite)when the chime goes bad. Well, thanx again
