Can some of you manly sophisticated vitara owners open your bonnet (yes I know doesnt need to happen very often) and get some pics of your engine bay for me? especially around the battery for areas a little 4 fuse fuse holder and some relays might be able to be mounted ill need all the variations, carby, efi, later models, 2 litre etc so theres some fun for everybody

Hey Joe, It's probably unlikely, but are the battery tray's removable? They're probably spot welded in, but I presume they can be fitted to earlier models. |

the later tray over that side is welded in the early tray on the drivers side bolts in, but doesnt fit the later ones cause its a different booster

Do people reckon down beside the battery is an ok place to stick a fuse panel and relays? |

cant do on a vitara sealed or not (all are not cause nobody here could afford a truly sealed fuse box) if electrics go underwater they should all be cleaned and maybe a bit of crc sprayed around anyway cause youll get corrosion on pins and so on |

I've screwed a 6-fuse block to the firewall directly behind the battery of my 93 LWB - right between that useless black plate and the two ID plates: 
Just unclip the loom and push it out of the way. ...and you thought Joe's wiring was dodgy!  It's not like that anymore...

hook the uhf up behind the stereo, either use off the cig lighter if you want it to turn off with the key or the radio memory wire if you want it on all the time Just had a play with mine, on high beam it drops .5v on the power side and 1v on the earth side, which is quite bad |

| Post subject: | Re: Vitara battery locations |
| That's a good idea ill do that so i can turn it off at the key
Why is yours dropping volts? |

they will all be dropping volts, too thin wire and shitty switches got a multimeter? you can check yours out too (as could everyone else) |

ok, if you set the meter to volts, stick one end on the battery positve and the other end on teh drivers headlight terminal marked ground, with engine idling and high beam on, the reading is how much you are losing on the positive side then move the meter to the opposite vertical terminal on the plug and the other probe to battery negative youll see how much it drops on the switching side in a perfect world you wouldnt want to lose more than .5v total |
