[DML] question for the experts about testing automotive electric devices

["Farrar Hudkins" <fhudkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

A computer power supply supplies +3.3V, +5V, or +12V of DC power to a
device (depending on which leads you use). Could one test an
automotive device's function using this power?

For example, if I wanted to test -- to pick a device at random -- the
seat belt warning buzzer, could I take it out of the car and give it
DC power from my computer to see if it buzzes?
