#208 of 314 Re: GV front bulb replacement - remove grill? [rnsvitara] by krist_eros Dec 27, 2005 (2:38 pm)
Replying to: rnsvitara (Dec 21, 2005 2:17 am) if the sledge hammer will resolve ur problem, do it! However, 2 remove the grill is easy but u have 2 b careful u dont break it. The grill is snapped fit on the car with these plastic retainers: 4 black retainers r on top, remove them. 2 retainers r at the ends of the grill under outer edge of the lights and 1 in the center right above the bumper there may be 2 more at the end of the grill right above the bumper. I took a wheel lug iron and with the wedge end I pryed between the inside of the grill and the frame sheet metal after u remove the top retainers The bottom retainers stay on the grill. Once u remove the grill, then it is easy 2 remove the light assembly. good luck kris Replies to this message: rnsvitara (Dec 29, 2005 4:26 am)
#209 of 314 where is the fuse for the radio? by cmybassets Dec 27, 2005 (7:59 pm)
Hi everyone. I have a 1999 Vitara that the radio stopped working. I wanted to check if it was the fuse but cant figure out if it's under the hood or under the dash. Tried to contort myself to crawl under the dash with a flashlight but gave up. Didn't want to take it to a mechanic unless I have to. Any ideas????
#210 of 314 engine stall by woody72 Dec 27, 2005 (8:27 pm)
I have a '01 2.0 manual 4dr 4wd that all of a sudden refuses to idle, at least some of the time. It starts fine, fast idles fine and when warm when it usually idles about 7-800 rpm it idles toward 0 and of course dies. No check engine light, it is inconsistent and I've kept up with all the filter, plugs and oil changes. Any help! Replies to this message: cyclemaniac (Jan 10, 2006 9:10 pm)

Replying to: krist_eros (Dec 27, 2005 2:38 pm) Thanks for the info. I did almost exactly this, minus the tire wrench. I used some dull wire cutters and maneuvered them behind each of the clips and pried them out a little at a time. You were right on the money about how it all came apart. I had the sledge hammer nearby, though.   The real trick was to wait until it was warm enough so I didn't break the plastic retainers trying to get them loose.   Thanks. Ron
#212 of 314 Suzuki Vitara JLX timing chain issues by jlxdriver Dec 30, 2005 (7:36 pm)
I own a 2001 Suzuki Vitara JLX. It is a four door, automatic. I have had to repair the timing chain components once. It cost me $1150.00. That was two years ago. I have noticed the same noice indicator again. Has anyone else experienced this and if so What if anything is Suzuki doing about it?

Replying to: tomw4 (May 26, 2005 6:21 am) I see your posting was May 26, 2005 so I assume that you have since taken care of your problem. Have you experienced any problems since? How do you take care of the timing chain problem? It cost me $1150.00

Replying to: tensioner (May 22, 2003 9:55 am) I am having the rattling noise which is the indication I go the first time it had to be replaced at about 47,000 miles. Please tell me if Suzuki covered your second repair?
