Common Electrical Issues:

Battery Drainage: A common issue in older Suzuki vehicles is battery drainage, often due to the alternator malfunctioning o r electrical components drawing power when the car is off.
Faulty Alternator: If the alternator isn’t charging the battery correctly, the battery will fail, leading to starting problems o r dimming lights.
Wiring Problems: Damaged o r corroded wiring can cause electrical shorts, preventing certain components from functioning correctly.
Blown Fuses: Many electrical issues arise from blown fuses, which could affect lights, air conditioning, o r the radio.
Prevention and Solutions:

Regularly inspect the battery, alternator, and wiring, especially for corrosion, which can lead to power loss.
Ensure the battery terminals are clean and tight to avoid issues with charging and drainage.
If any electrical components stop working suddenly, check the fuses first.
Perform regular maintenance on the electrical system as per the vehicle’s service manual.
