Title: SUZUKI VINSON ELECTRICAL
Post by: Seabeejim on February 22, 2005, 01:03:23 PM
Has anyone with a Vinson had the electrical problems where everytime you turn on the key the ignition fuse blows out.  I have traced every wire known to man and can't find a short, replaced the starter reply switch, cleaned all gounds, and still doing the same.  When it blows your instument panel goes out and no starty starty.  HELP!!!!!!
Thanks in advance

Could be a short in the key switch itself, try bypassing it and see what happens.

Is this how it's set up:  

all the way left: off
middle: on
all the way right: on w/ headlights

Is this correct?

Alright, use a multimeter, figure out which 2 wires are for lights, the 3rd will be the ignition. Should be anyway from what it sounds like. I could be wrong, it's hard to diagnose without the component right in front of you.
