1996 Factory service manual found again. - fixkick - 04-03-2018 FSM means factory service manual, no not  "Flying Spaghetti Monster" nor Fresh SPAM Meal. Suzuki still sells theirs (access only), even after deleted there support page, moved,  seen below new page by them. the word factory means from Suzuki , GM GEO tracker or Sun-runners of Canada or from Santana Spain bought from there.  Chilton has no factory , just printing press. No  3rd party books, like Chilton, as they all mix 10 years of cars into a toxic mix of 1/2 truths and lies.(good luck better than nothing here ,but all pages on safety in the book is GREAT !!!!)

RE: 1996 FSM found again. - fetcher - 04-26-2018 The fixkick site is certainly useful. It was part of the reason I chose to get a Tracker. You go into the details like no one else.

RE: 1996 FSM found again. - fixkick - 03-04-2020 new page. 96-98, upgraded dash view , revised. the AC AMP module on the car is and ADD ON harness and does not show up in the main harness view here. but   non the less here it is..... near 24 (from a real Suzuki parts list drawings) RE: 1996 FSM found again. - fixkick - 07-27-2020 J18 AC harness is not the same as G16 AC. but the AMP module works the same way. See my AC page. it is this. the factory AC harness is and ADD on to stock harness.  ties in the fender fuse box to with AC fuse in the fender box. folks ask me where is the other AC fused, and the answer is clearly here in the EPC. watch out for rubber black covers, hiding things to keep out rain and dust. the switch here is a AC only thermal overtemp switch for engine. trips at 235f  12vdc on the pin is TRIPPED
