Expert Answers about Suzuki Grand Vitara


  • How Do I Install a 4-Way Trailer Connector on a 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Part # 118001 will not work on your 2009 Suzukia Grand Vitara. Since the brake and turn signals on your vehicle are on separate circuits, you will need a converter. Part # 56002 is a custom fit harness that will plug into the tail light connectors of your tail lights and convert the separate brake and turn signals to allow proper function with standard 4-Pole trailers. I have added a link to the part and the instructions below.

  • The instructions for trailer hitch # C13001, see link, indicate that if your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara has the rear door mounted spare tire you should not have to trim the fascia to install the hitch.

The connectors on the wiring harness will plug in line with the tail light wiring on the vehicle. To...

  • Instructions and Cost To Install Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3516 On 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • If you have an average mechanical ability you could install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # BX3516, on your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I would not say it is easily installed, because it does require the removal of the front grille, headlights, front fascia, and metal bumper. There is also the drilling of six holes required. To determine a price to pay a mechanic to install these base plates would be hard for me to suggest, because of where you have it done and the hourly...

  • Can The Demco Stay-In-Play Be Transferred From One Vehicle To Another?
  • There have not been any major changes to the Stay-In-Play system since 2016, so I believe it certainly would be worthwhile (and a $$$ saver) to remove the major parts from the now-wrecked car. Provided you can get that done for a reasonable cost. There is a Re-Install Kit # SM6270 that is made specifically for this purpose. This will include all of the components you need to transfer your system to a new vehicle, including a new breakaway kit. I am afraid that we we have not gotten out...

  • Removing Rusted On Bolts for Trailer Hitch Installation
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 for your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara uses weld nuts on the inside of the frame rails to attach the bolts and mount this hitch. If there are currently bolts in that location, you will need to remove them and there are a couple of routes to go about doing so. First, I recommend using the UltraLube Biobased Spray Lubricant and Penetrant to get into the small crevices to free up the bolt from the nut as dirt and corrosion can cause a bolt to cease up...

  • How to Test to Find Brake Light Switch Signal Wire on 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Some vehicles will have multiple wires leading to/from their brake light switch and that can make it tough to find the correct one for connection to the red input trigger wire of a brake controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885. The wire you want to identify through testing (with a circuit tester like # PTW2993) is the one wire that goes hot ONLY when the pedal is pressed. This is the wire that connects to the cold side of the brake light switch. Other wires at the switch may carry a 12V...

  • Class III Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara for Towing 3,500 lbs
  • For towing a 3,500 lbs you would want to at least get a Class III hitch with a 3,500 lb capacity. You should note that just because the hitch is rated for 3,500 lbs that does not necessarily mean you can tow that amount. You will also need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to check to see what towing capacities they have listed and be sure not to exceed the lowest capacity of all of the components in your setup. From the research I did it looks like your vehicle has a 1,500 lb...

  • Installation of Trailer Hitch and Wiring on a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • According to the directions, the Curt Class III Hitch # C13001 you were looking at will avoid contact with the muffler. It doesn't even mention anything about having to lower it while installing the hitch. It does tell you that the tow hook must be permanently removed and that you will have to trim your bumper fascia slightly. On the Draw-Tite hitch # 75448, it's a little easier to see where the hitch installs. I've attached an image pointing out where the hitch brackets mount to the...

  • To power the RF brake controller # TK94FR, it is only necessary to connect the 12v power wire and ground wire on your 4 to 7-Way adapter. If you have a typical adapter like our part # 30717, the ground wire should be white and the power wire is typically black or red. The remaining wires can be tied off. You also have the option connect the auxiliary wire if you need to power backup lights or another accessory on your trailer. This wire is typically orange or purple in color. To prepare...
