Electrical issues can be a bit tricky to diagnose, but common causes in a Suzuki Alto Lapin include:

Faulty Alternator: If the alternator is not functioning correctly, the battery may not charge properly, leading to electrical issues like dim lights, malfunctioning windows, o r dashboard problems.
Worn-Out Battery: A weak o r old battery can cause intermittent electrical issues. If the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan, it may not provide enough power for the car’s electrical systems.
Fuses o r Relays: A blown fuse o r faulty relay can cause various electrical components to stop working, such as lights, power windows, o r air conditioning.
Corroded o r Loose Wiring: Over time, the wiring in your car may become corroded, loose, o r damaged. This can cause erratic electrical behavior, such as flickering lights o r unresponsive electrical systems.
Faulty Ground Connections: Poor ground connections can lead to electrical issues. If the ground wire is corroded o r loose, it can cause the electrical system to malfunction.
Solution:

Have the alternator tested and replaced if necessary.
Replace the battery if it’s weak o r old.
Check and replace any blown fuses o r faulty relays.
Inspect the wiring for corrosion o r loose connections and repair them as needed.
Check and clean the ground connections to ensure a solid electrical connection.
