Fuses that look good can be bad, due to
tiny cracks, use a meter to check the fuse.
or buy a fuse checker of flush with cash.
any DMM can measure any fuse.
the fuse in the passenger compartment , near driver left knee.
LHD car.
you can use a volt meter too, to check a blown fuse
keyon, both sides of fuses read 12v.
if not, the fuse is blow, or is blowing over and over due to the dead short in that line. that is it purpose to prevent a fire.

G8D711S is not alarm system. This is Daytime Running Light module. You can pull out the connector, your front lights won't work when an engine start.

My GV 2002 has a Autostart AS1203 alarm system. There is a description on Internet.

Hi,

Thanks for using FixYa!

If you are suspecting that the radio, car lighter fuse is busted. You need to check the fuse box under the dashboard. Check the fuse box diagram found on the cover of the fuse box under that dash. Check if you see "Lighter, Radio" Find the fuse and use the fuse puller to pull out the fuse.

You can find the fuse puller inside the fuse box. I hope this helps.

Have a nice day.

SOURCE: Had my 2000 suzuki grand vitara comp checked

well the code points to a pressure sensor performance issue. It could be a bad sensor but the sensor works off of input from other sensors. So any of then could be bad or you could have a vacuum issue like a cracked line or something. Its not that you couldnt fix it, its that it take a scanner and special tools and diagnostic charts by the manufacturer to accurately pinpoint the problem.

SOURCE: can't find the fuse box under the driver's side dash on my 2000 suzuki grand vitara. my radio/clock not working and dome light does not come on when the driver's side door is opened.

Its below the Dashboard, on the left side of your knee. You have to use a torch & locate it from under the Dashboard, Its roughly near to the Clutch Pedal.
Here, it looks like this: (The Black one is the Fuse box) ba18901.jpg
