dome and tail lights

[dazedandconfused]

in the 93 the dome and tail lights are on the same fuse,i guess if the dome light doesn't work you should check the tail lights. mine don't and the fuse is good. there is 12v to the dome light it just won't work,kinda like my son-in-law,the only other big confusion is none of the lights inside work, the signal lights work the head lights work and the hazard lights work as well as the blower fan for the ac the radio worked every now and then but it died too so i took it out and tried bench testing it, nada. are the radios called clairion are is that an aftermarket? all that comes after i get it running good.

do you now that fuse that look bad are but those that look ok, can in fact be bad (hair line cracks do that) use and ohmeter to checks or live with voltmeter.

so car runs, drives, ???????
head lamps , work
parking lamps (4corner) aka, TAIL/ DOME. yes it is the same fuse. 15amp rated fuse. for sure.
brake lamps
reverse lamps
turns signals work,l
blower ok. for cab heat.
radio dead, it too has a fuse, called radio /CIG. yes that is a non stock radio, and most ive seen are wired up by hacker , not using nice plug adapter kit.
the dome lamp has 3 position switchd, off , on , and auto.
in the on position it must work , or there is no power or the bulb is bad, 12vdc across the bulb using any voltmeter is a burned out bulb.
auto mode is not easy to fix, (door switches bad)
wired like this it is....

my guess is you lost this?

put in a new dome fuse.
its bad.
tails + dome dead, is fuse blown
just replace it. 15 fuse, the color code must be correct too. color code BLUE is 15amps. for ATC fuses.

btw , tail (now called parks) lamps can short, the base gets lose, and short. then blows the fuse. killing dome with it.
fix tail first. safety first.
please note the tails are on the front too, reason for park, word. and side makers,are park too.

where can i get a cover for my fuses or an owners manual? my fuses go up and down ,vertical that cover is horizonal. if i could figure out how to send pictures with my cell phone i would because pictures are worth a thousand words. the regisration shows 9 of 92. is that a 92 or 93?

[fixkick]

no,that cover is in hand not on car
turn it. and is , correct
but Ive never been to UK or seen a vitara there.the parts list i have it, but no drawings of this one part
91 to 95 are all same here,every one.

that corner 20 amp fuse tells you the direction.sure does.

that cover only exists in 3 places
1: suzuki dealer (out of stock)
2: off a wreck,(yard)
3: fleabay, buy.
