| Post subject: | 1997 Vitara headlight issue |
My 1997 Vitara right hand drive has no low or high beam headlights. Tee parking/side lights work fine, the passing (high beam ) works. fine. I have traced it to potentially being a negative circuit relay problem, since if I short the yellow/red wire to ground low an high beams work. Does anyone know where the below relay is - I have +12v on the purple/blue wire on the loom connector for the multifunction switch. My other option is to put a new relay on the yellow/red wire to ground and power it from the ignition switch - lights cant be left on then! Thanks Attachment: hedlight earth relay.png

I'm not being funny here, it is important to use the correct documentation, which I know can be hard to find, but, if/when the documentation doesn't match it's not unusual to end up looking for a non-existent needle in a haystack. Not all years of Vitara had headlight relays. That out of the way - assuming you have a RHD vehicle - try looking under the driver's side dash towards the outer wall - also try switching the sidelights on/off - if there are relays, you should hear the sidelight relay click as it goes on & off, the headlight relay should be in the same general area. |

Thanks for your reply. The wiring diagram is the closest that I could find to match my car. I have taken a few panels off and searched but the only relays that I could find were behind the ECU on the right under the dash. Yes one is the parking relay that clicks and I did assume that the headlight relay would be next to it. But I cannot see without removing the instrument cluster and from posts on forums the speedo cable it a painful to get to to remove. So I think that I will go with a new after market relay is a better location |

Also it can be a break in the wiring,Suzuki in the 1990's used very thin wiring in their looms. Local Auto-electric guy won't work on them,takes to long to find/fix. Good luck,hopes it the relay otherwise you have to run new wire. |
