Hi. I have a 2005 suzuki Swif, it has a yellow lock light on the dash which has just appeared and my car will not start? do you have any idea what may bbe wrong?

Check oil, security tamper systems, May be a security code messed up because of battery disconnect or fuse movement.

Where is the power window fuse? we do not think it is the power fuse cos only the passenger window will not open, what do we do now both useless at anything like this so your help would be great.

swift or swift+? (USA or not in USA>? as swifts vary by COUNTRY) some cars have fuses. others have circuit breakers. the latter work better in ICE and when the motor overloads for the same. (engineering details) some have cars have a simple setup. just a CB and wire and a switch other have (2007 may) BCM controls (computer brain box now) that controls all things in the BODY, the body control module. this case. we scan the PCM first to see if the BCM is unhappy. and get ERROR Codes, if unhappy. if car still has the simple system. only a volt meter is needed to find the cause. if its BCM controls ,lots more, ask? here is the wiki on swifts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Swift see all those countries, they are not all wired the same. not at all. so.... be the 3 person EVER to say the country, and blow our socks off.

Need to know how hard it is to change a alternator

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_GWWp30khE or
  • First, you MUST disconnect the negative cable from the battery terminal, otherwise it is highly likely you will shock your self. Next you need to locate the alternator on your Swift (mine, a 1995, was on the top left, down below the carbuerator).
  • Disconnect the electrical wires going to the alternator (mine were right next to each other on the inner side, towards the engine, although I have seen them one on top and one on the side). These wires should be recognizable, as one is a plug, normally green in color that should come from the positive battery wire, and the other is the negative which should have a rubber cap over it. Take off the cap and unscrew the holding bolt, which should loosen the wire.
  • Once that's done, you need to remove all the bolts holding the alternator to the frame. There should really only be two, the adjustment bolt on the top (used to adjust the tension in the alternator belt) and one on the bottom (you'll have to raise the car to get this one) its either a bolt on oneside (rare) or a bolt that goes all the way through with nuts on both ends (more common). You're view may be obscured by a shielding piece that keeps rocks and other things you run over from flying into or through your alternator. You can easily remove the two screws in the bottom and one at the top to remove the piece. I highly recommend this because models upto 1998 require this for removal.
  • Once all that is removed your alternator should be free to move, except for the belt, but slipping that off is pretty self intuitive. Getting it out now is another issue entirely. I've been wrestling with mine for two and a half hours now and am pretty sure I'm going to have to take it out through the top. This step I leave up to you, the only advice I can offer is that the Hayne's guide I have says 1998 and later goes through the bottom.
  • One other thing that should be noted is that some alternator models (the harder ones to get I assume, since mine was the more common type and this wasn't an issue) don't come with the flywheel attached. For the non-engineers or mechanics out there, that's the big wheel on the side that the belt rotates to generate electricity. Make sure that if your replacement doesn't have this wheel to remove it, as you will assuredly be needing it.
  • To install simply repeat all the previous steps in reverse.

Central Locking not working remote makes indicators flash but doors wont lock or unlock. Also the switch in side on door panel

It looks like the system is working but the signal is not getting to the doors. If you know the supplier of the remote control contact them or the agent to check if the system has a relay which (my best bet is there is one) needs replacing, Otherwise trace your wiring backwards from the door actuators to the sender unit to see where your power is being broken.

How can i get to fuses located under steering wheel of suzuki swift, 1.5 auto. The dashboard facia is in the way, and i can't get to the fuse box. My radio, cigar lighter are not working.

some of these are held in place with screws and others snap into place. you will have to look closely to find them. if you don`t find any screws then it probably snaps into place.

5-speed manual. Why no power from the ignition to the motor?

In a Suzuki of that age (assuming you have the OHC engine), the most likely culprit is a broken timing belt.

Why does the engine cut out while driving?

have the computer checked for codes and data, it could be losing a reference pulse shutting down the system, either the sensor has an intermitant problem or it has become a temperature sensitive problem with the sensor or electrical connection. it could be a fuel pump problem as well which you have to have checked for pressure and volume.

How do i check oil level in gearbox of suzuki swift 2009

Gearbox oil can't be checked because it is sealed and needs to be drained out and checked for metal parts if there is damage to the gears. Take your vehicle to an authorised service centre if you suspect it is the gear box. Humming noise may be something else- like less engine oil or a defective AC intake (blocked tray) or some loose vibration.
