Is there a fuse for dash-lights 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara and where is it not in under dash fuse-box

in what country, car is sold all over the earth, !
The dash tells me NOTHING. (but guess, background Illumination)
there are many things that glow in dashes.
like
  1. warning lamps.
  2. map lights
  3. radio lamps.
  4. speedo and tacho, back lighting (part of the PARKing lamps)
  5. the dash dimmer knob if turned down kills #4 in cluster.
  6. foot well lamps. glove box lamps. shifter lamps. etc. endless.



If you don't have the operators guide or FSM book,
then you cant know what fuse it is, can you,
nor where it is.
you can login to mitchells DIY and read it.

ill pretend you said, USA>
just sold my 04 GV, Hated it. and is YUGO status here now.
my guess is , driving in the dark the cluster is dark.
so, turn the knob to up, if still dark do this.
ours is H25 , 2.5L V6, and has its own wring system. guess, 3

20 questions, are the cars exterior park lamps dead.?

Have a fuse blown, got a short, somewhere. Need to know what a 25A fuse in the box under dash, labeled CTSY WDO goes to.

In order to try and help I need the make and year and model. Also the fuse box info is in the owner's manual.

After replacing a fuse a bunch of warning lights came on dash disply

On many cars disconnecting the battery for a few minutes will re-set the codes. Others require use of a scan tool. You didn't bother to say what you are working on (always a good idea).

MY 2002 FORD ESCORT'S CRUISE CONTROL AND HORN SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE FUSES ALL CHECK OUT. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Clock and dash lights dont work or radio--

These items clock, radio, dash lights are usually fused on the same circuit. Please check the fuses for this problem. The fuse or fuses should be listed on the fuse box cover inside the interior fuse box. Replace the blown fuse if that is that problem. If it blows again, then the cig lighter circuit may be involved. Make sure the cig lighter is free of any objects, remove lighter, (push in part). Try new fuse while lighter is out, and if problem goes away, push in may be bad.

Dash lights and tail lights wort work

Check your fuses. Dash lights and tail lights are on the same fuse. Check the fuses electrically, just looking at them is not enough. Replace any blown or damaged fuses with fuses of the same rating, NEVER use a fuse of a higher rating. If the fuse blows again, you have a short circuit to ground. Check all the front and tail lamps and their wiring and don't forget the trailer connector if you have one fitted..

Radio dead (not a code issue), Fuse #9 (lighter) keeps blowing

Yes, replacing the #9 fuse in the fuse box under the glove box seemed to do the trick (Front Accessory Socket). Thank you!!
