I bought replacement bulbs, but i can't figure out how to pop the cover. Also, my display on my stereo doesn't work, nor does the bottom right buttons light up when headlights are turned on. Please help, I love my car. BTW, the two map lights work above driver/passenger dome, but only when you press the button, not when the doors open.

I don't know for sure but some cars have a "DOME OVERRIDE" button usually somewhere the light switch on the dash. Not seeing your car the dome covers mostly require only slight pressure on either of the longer sides to remove, press against the side and at the same time pull downward.

SOURCE: Suzuki swift Headlight problem

Have you checked to see if this is a wiring problem or maybe a relay problem?

Recently my lights would work on side lights and not anything else and this was down to dodgy wiring and needed a new relay unit.

SOURCE: head light replacement

Hi, I have done this many times before for my 2006 Suzuki Forenza. You will need a 10 milimeter socket wrench for the top two nuts and a 8 milimeter socket wrench for the nut located directly behind the highbeam light. After removing the nuts carfully tilt the head light upward and wiggle out. After moving it halfway, disconnect the two wires connected to the housing. Be careful not to scratch the trim located around the grille. The bulb has a rubber gasket over it. Remove turning counter clockwise. Then, with your index finder slightly push the metal bracket holding the bulb in place down and then release. Install a new bulb making sure not to touch the glass part of the bulb. Reinstall the rubber gasket and carfully put the light housing back into the car. Line up all holes before attempting to replace the nuts. Do not tighten them too much. Only until they are slightly snug. This housing is plastic. So be carful. Then you are finally done. One thing to remember. It's usually better to replace both headlights at the same time for optimum performance. If cost is a factor, one can be done, but you will notice a difference in brightness.

SOURCE: Headlights went dead on my 2006 Suzuki Forenza

as far as I can tell from all the posts (and i have the headlamp problem w/ my '05) is that there is a well known problem with that, and was also recalled for defective wiring...

SOURCE: TRANSMISSION PULLS VERY VERY SLOW IN DRIVE AND ONLY WHEN I ACCELERATE HEAVILY. REVERSE WORKS FINE.

is this car still under warranty? if so take it back to the dealer and don't accept it as repaired till you drive it. sounds like the logic that controls the transmission is flipping out, sometimes they will tell you that it needs a reflash. what this amounts to is that the manufacturer put some not so great programming in the logic when they built the car but now they have a patch or fix that makes it work better but you have to pay them for their time to install the fix. ask them what they will charge you for the privilege and decide if it's worth it to you. there is a recorded technical service bulletin about harsh shifts for your car. well, actually there are two, the latest one a revision of the first. i would try to make this their problem, it really is. hope this helps.

SOURCE: 2006 suzuki grand vitara headlights operation

turn the selection knob to auto and leave it there. the lights will automatically come on whenever the sensor on the dash trips. it takes a minute in a tunnel but you will never have to worry if your lights are on.

Would you say suzuki forenza 06 is a good car to buy?

They have been doing well and there problems are fewer than most. Sounds like you have a pretty good car. Have those trouble codes checked and repaired though so it does'nt cause problems down the road. Good luck.

I have an '07 suzuki forenza has 30,000 miles on it the check engine light came on and hasnt came off since car jerks when put on drive can anyone help

Take the car in somewhere and see what thew check light code is. If the trans jerks when put in gear, it might be the transmission range switch ( neutral safety switch) See what the code is first and go from there. Any questions after the code reply back to me, Don Suzuki tech

Suzuki forenza

I have had the same problem recently. I did some searching on the internet and came up with nothing. I went out to my car and decided to take a look at the gas cap. I noticed that after turning it and hearing the clicks that are supposed to tell you it is tight, the cap came off again with no effort at all. I brought the gas cap to Advance Auto Parts and I found out that the spring mechanism inside the top of the gas cap was worn from use. This was causing the vapors to leak out inturn causing the check engine light to come on. I bought a replacement STANT gas cap (specifically for the 2006 Suzuki Forenza) for $9 and the light has been off for the past two weeks. The dealer wanted $80 to diagnose the problem and then another $30 if they needed to order a gas cap. So, I decided $9 was better to waste then $110 trying to figure out the problem. I hope this helps.
