my wife and i bought a 05 suzuki forenza a little over a year ago. now the headlights work when they want to(no high beam though).went to dealership said recall had been done,but still same problem.then said it was the switch, replaced that, still didnt work. actually meltedold switch. when i hooked up new switch made engine run bad.now water pump broke.found on one web site that there was a recall, but guess what ours dosent have it "only on certain vin #'s".
In addition to this recall, there have been reports of connection problems at the headlight switch. For more information, please view the RepairPal Problem Reports for this vehicle.
I'm having this same problem. except, mine is a 2007. most info I find online is regarding this recall on 2004-2006 models. I was never informed of this recall. however, I purchased my vehicle Oct. 2006 (before the recall was addressed). so my question is - does anyone have info regarding this issue on 2007s, is it the same issue as before or different & what the fix is? also, can anyone tell me where the running light relay is located? not a diagram of the relay but where the relay's actually located. thanks!
I have a 2007 suzuki forenza and the drl stay on even when i shut the engine off can anybody tell me does this have anything to do with the recall
