2013. Suzuki Alto. Fuse boxes location. Maruti.

[@lynn69jackson]

My 2014 is the same as yours . I was tearing my hair out trying to find the none existent 21 and 22 fuses. I'm so happy I found your comment and correct fuse position in the Suzuki forum.

[@DavidGarside]

Thank you Lynn. Yes it was a bit of a mystery until I found it. Glad you benefitted from the video.

[@lynn69jackson]

@@DavidGarside was your alto made in India like mine?

[@DavidGarside]

@@lynn69jackson . Yes, I'm sure it was. I'll take a look in the morning and let you know if different.

[@DavidGarside]

Yes Lynn. It says Maruti Suzuki India on the plate inside the drivers door opening. I've got a few other videos on KZbin too about it, within a playlist. You may find one or two useful.

[@bhaddock9277]

Thanks for pointing out that they is also a fusebox under the dash. Had only noticed the fusebox under the bonnet. Always useful to know stuff like this as the time you need to change a fuse might be at night or quickly.

[@DavidGarside]

Thank you. Yes I always like a heads up about things in case I need them. Hope it was helpful to you. David.

[@natalieball1701]

Thanks for this! My friend used my car and a fuse in the engine box blew and the car wouldn't start, but since then my radio hasn't worked and I had no idea how to look for the fuse, so this is helpful 👌🏼

You can take the panel below the steering wheel by clicking it up and it comes off very easily

[@DavidGarside]

Thank you Keith. I've not tried pulling it as I didn't want to break it.... But if it comes off easily I'll try that next time I need to remove it. 👍🙂

[@keithharris5196]

@@DavidGarside yeah I found starting from the side where the ignition is pull upwards, it comes up pretty easy, then lift the other side with it, it goes back on nicely as well. My horn isn't working so went investigating, can hear a click from a relay but nothing else...not sure how to proceed as not very good with electrics. So garage it is lol

[@DavidGarside]

@@keithharris5196 . Thanks again Keith. I believe the horn is a common fault (not that mine has been a problem) so will probably need replacing. I'm not sure if you can change it without taking the bumper off though....Hope you can do it ok.

[@bhaddock9277]

Luckily had to change the front wiper fuse (Fiat Uno) while late for a ferry (very heavy rain), strangely had been looking up fuse locations the week before and was able to instruct the passenger which fuse to replace, can't remember if I stopped the car or not (fusebox on passinger side). Stuff goes wrong when you least want it to.

Hello David, your ALTO videos are excellent,each are imformative. I wonder do you have any knowwledge concerning safe Towing of your ALTO in event of a breakdown ? I have notriced that myu ALTO ( same year) does not have a screw in Tow eye

[@DavidGarside]

Hello Ken. Thank you for your message and kind comments. I've not had to do any towing at all with it, but I am aware that if yours is an auto or 4wd then it has to have a front lift. Front 2 wheel drives I believe can be towed ok (Don't quote me on that though). I think the front tow attachments are behind the lower grille, and an 'A' frame is recommended as the low front could be damaged otherwise. Sorry I can't be more specific. Thanks again. David.

[@drisnet8115]

Thank you so much

[@allanmorris5360]

David , Thank,s for video , rear wiper blade not working, any suggestions, as I believe as windscreen wipers are working it is not the fuse , am I right?

[@DavidGarside]

Hi Allan. It appears that both the front and rear wipers are covered by the same fuse (11), so I would suspect either the wiper motor itself, or the power to it. I had a problem on a previous car where the wire had broken inside the rubber gaiter between the tailgate and the car itself, which when repaired sorted the problem. Good luck, let me know how you get on.

[@allanmorris5360]

@@DavidGarside thanks David will check it out, again thanks,

[@carolmiller7450]

Do all vehicles have 2 fuse boxes. Why is this? To keep things working if 1 blows? Do I start at the under dash box. Think left side of my dash panel thingy isn't illuminating.

[@DavidGarside]

I'm not sure if all cars have them. The ones inside the car seem to cover items more individually, whereas the ones under the bonnet covers bigger sections. I would start with the inside ones, unless you have lots of things not working which may be caused by the under bonnet ones. Hope you sort it out. Thanks for watching.

[@carolmiller7450]

@@DavidGarside thank you for such a speedy response. Much appreciated

[@paulu8927]

Hi David. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this. It helped me to eliminate the fuses. Any knowledge you could share on the relevant relays and also how to test the starter motor etc would be greatly appreciated. My 2010 Pixo has a 'no crank' issue that suddenly occured (even with jump leads) although it can be push started. I think the relays need to be checked however many of the abbreviations on the cover panel are hard to decipher. There's very little information on the internet for the Pixo/Alto and no Haynes manual as far as I know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for sharing your knowledge

[@DavidGarside]

Hi Paul. Thank you for uour comment. I don't have the car anymore I'm afraid so I'm unable to add to the videos I've done. I'm no mechanic so I'm not sure where your fault would lie, but I would start by checking all the relay contacts are clean (one at a time so they don't get mixed up) and to listen to see if they operate when the relevant circuit is used. No Haynes manual available for it as you say, and info is hard to come by. Luckily my dealer was s great help with any problems. Sorry I can't be of more help. Let me know if you manage to sort it out please. Thanks again. David.

[@chrisdavis175]

Hi David thanks for the video, but do you know where the fuse is for the aircon. No where does it say aircon fuse.

[@DavidGarside]

Hello Chris. Thank you for watching and your message. My particular model doesn't have aircon so I can only go by my handbook. If yours is the same as mine (2013), according to the book your fuse and relay are under the bonnet. I believe it will come under the air compressor, which is fuse no 14 (10amp) and relay no 8. See page 7-24 and 7-25 in your book. If in doubt or if you have a different model, get your local garage to check these for you to be on the safe side. Let me know how you get on. Thank you.

[@urbanfood5923]

Do you know which fuse is for the interior light? I don't see it on the fuse box layout

[@DavidGarside]

If you read the comments below, there's an explanation of the 'missing' fuses as in the book. On mine, fuse 19 is for the radio and the interior dome light so you may find both aren't working at the moment. Hope you get it sorted ok. Thank you.

[@needsomehike]

3:16 what is the big 30 Amp fuse called (the purple color) ?......its odd and hard to find in shops. Is it called Japanese fuse?

[@DavidGarside]

Hello. Sorry, I can't answer that as I don't know, and can't check as I don't have the car any more. It may say in the handbook, but I suspect it's a relay of some sort. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Thank you for watching.

[@timmaher4541]

Cannot find radio / cig socket fuse In the video. If U look on inside of the fuse cover for under dash fuses if shows the two fuses outside on left lower corner of fuse cover saying RHD. Fuse radio2 and acc2 Do U know where these are located as their not inside the section of 18 fuses in the 3 rows.

[@DavidGarside]

Hi Tim. Yes, I realise the description in the book doesn't match the actual fuse box. Unfortunately I can't check as I don't now have the car. Sorry. If you're on Facebook, there's a Suzuki Alto Owners club group on there with some very knowledgeable members. I'm sure one of those would be able to tell you which one it is. Hope this helps.

[@ronvillaflor834]

Hello David! We have fhe same car and year model. Although mine is LHD from your RHD. I do have a question in which the owner's manual did not have any info on. Do you know where the flasher relay is located? Need to replace mine. Turn signal is acting up too fast.

[@DavidGarside]

Hello Ron. Thank you for your message. I've not had to change my flasher relay at all so I can't tell you exactly where it is I'm afraid. It's behind the dashboard by the Speedo by the sound of it but I'll have to try and see it in the daytime. If it's only one side that flashes at a different speed, then check the bulbs ( sorry if you've already done this) as if one fails it makes the others flash much faster. There's a Suzuki forum on line which you may with to join as it's very helpful. Sorry I can't help further.

[@ronvillaflor834]

Thanks for the reply. That is also what i was thinking as the sound comes from that part of the dashboard. I guess i need to roll up my sleeves and hunt it down . I have someone from India that drives the same. Since these models are made by Maruti Suzuki, he sent me photos of where to find the flasher relay. He has a RHD and shown me its located by the lower fuse box kick panel. I checked mine as a LHD but its never there. Your fuse box tray by the kick panel looks the same as mine even if its LHD. But his is different and a bit longer. Even if its same as yours as a RHD.

[@DavidGarside]

Mine is a rhd. I've looked under the dashboard at the fuse box while the indicators are flashing, but I would expect to be able to feel it working. I wonder if the noise behind the dash is just an electronic noise so you can hear it? There's nothing in the manual about it ( fuses/relays etc) so I wonder if it uses the hazard switch for the normal indicators too. I'll spend some time at the weekend having a look too. I'll let you know if I have any luck.

[@ronvillaflor834]

Thats awesome and kind of you. I appreciate it. Apparently his model. Alto or A-Star as what its called in India, is the first batch model or Type 1. This is between 2008 to 2011. Ours is Type 2 from 2012 to mid 2015. There are a lot of changes from the 2 types. And we bet that the fuse tray is included. The most obvious indicator to know type 1 vs type 2 is the air intake box. Type 1 models dont have the Suzuki name badge on the air box while the type 2 has it. The type 2 has a bigger air box that houses the air filter. Both models have different air filter sizes. This is why he cant help further. I wonder why they tuck the relay away instead of making it more accessible. Cheers!

[@DavidGarside]

I believe that the flasher relay is part of the hazard light switch. The sound comes from a separate sounder unit behind the dash.

[@hidayatullahkhan975]

Hi David! Thank you for informative video. My Alto's central locking is not working. I have got it checked a number of times from different electricians. All the fuses are working but central locking is still not working. Some electricians suggest for changing the fuse box. What do you suggest?

[@DavidGarside]

Hello. Thank you for your message. I've not had any problems in that area with mine so I can't really help. If you're sure all the fuses are ok (clean and intact etc), I would try to find out if the system is operated by any relays or solenoids, and if the drivers door switch has any extra connections to check for loose wires. .... An auto electrician would be the tight person to ask. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Let me know how you get on please.

Thanks sir your information very helpful Sir one more question plz tell me what is the brake light bulb of my car both sides burn out every week i put new ones then again burn out what is the reason why this is happening It happens again and again. Please guide me

[@DavidGarside]

Morning. Hmm, I'm not too sure about that. I would just check that the connections in the bulb holder are all clean and corrosion free, and maybe check the brake light switch connections too. It's possible I suppose that the bulbs could be overheating if you sit in queues of traffic with your foot on the brake instead of using the handbrake (I'm not suggesting that you do this, but something to consider). Other than that, I think an auto electrician would be the best person to contact. I hope you get it sorted out ok. Thank you for watching. 1🤞🤞
