1998 suzuki side kick headlights dim and flicker turn them on and car quits

Actually I just fixed this problem on my car. You need to disconnect the daytime running lights. There is a connection under the steering wheel on the right. Solved my problem very easy.

1991 sidekick,xjl alt blew up battery replaced both now wont start,checked fuses good, turns over no start.any ideas

cranks but wont start. only a shorted starter can do that. or alternator gone nuts but that blows the 60amp fuse seen here you can do lots. first and always first. check all fuse, (TEST THEM) I had a car back in 1972 that (mech, really alternator reg) that went nuts and blew up every lamp in car, at midnight far from home, in a bad neighborhood too.. scary, but engine ran. your car is EFI, and is only safe up to 15VDC< over that you blow up ECU or if lucky (only the 3 ECU fuses blow) is the CEL lamp working in the cluster,? if no the fuses blew. the 3 fuses are IG coil FI and dome. there are 50 reasons for no start but based off one fact i say fuses. testing fuses. matters if they look bad the are, if they look good, they can be in fact bad,(called hairline cracks) we test them did you? really test them,i do it live using a voltmeter the meter NEVER EVER lies. see? using a meter avoids going down the wrong path to H3LL. (dog chasing tail) now what if you measured the 3 power pins on the ECU behind left speaker (sold my 91,4wd/2door, restored by me) the ECU has power, (i have the schematic) if it has power, the CEL must glow, or the ECU was burned up. 1991 are all 8valve cars, then simple schm. http://www.fixkick.com/ECU/8v-tbi-schematic91to95.jpg full set. http://www.fixkick.com/look/91-complete.pdf starter. /charge. http://www.fixkick.com/Charging/charge89.jpg

I have a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick jx it will not drive forward but will drive in reverse. I put oil in car and the transmisson fluid is full what could be the problem

95 jx but is it 3speed or 4 speeds. if 3speed, the lever not really going to Drive? if that does happen the trans is bad. if 4sp, (see od light see od switch and P/N switch that is 4speed as is the 2 on gears, if 4speed it has a TCM brain the tranny brain, and we can scan, it , or more accurately a jumper clip , and the TCM flashes out codes is the the OD lamp flashing, yes that is the TCM begging for help. next time post trans gear counts, as we can not guess that ever nor engine. 95 had 2 engine choices. the 3speed also has a filter in the pan area (above) if packed in junk,, as they all do. it will only shift hot. or not at all. its called a full flush, with filter. not a lame drain and fill.

Where to start. In the winter will a leather soft

Hi:
If you are asking if a soft top is worse to heat than the hard top, the answer is yes, but not that bad. They can be noisier and draftier too, and are only really fun in the summer, when they are down!

1992 SUZUKI SIDEKICK AUTOMATIC HAS BRAKES LOCKING

Try the following to confirm if is the servo unit .( engine off,pump few times the brake pedal to become stiff.Keeping pressed the pedal start the engine and if servo is working you will feel the pedal slightly goes down.If not will not move at all-remain stiff.) Also if you do have the check valve close to servo not working you can realize it by the engine idle ( erratic ) and the servo not working.The other possibility if the vehicle is fitted,the ABS unit itself.
