Some Suzuki Sidekick owners report experiencing power issues even after installing a new battery and connecting jumper cables. These problems may stem from factors such as dirty or loose battery connections, which can prevent proper power transfer. Additionally, some owners find that their battery may not be holding a charge, necessitating a replacement. Others have identified malfunctioning alternators that fail to charge the battery adequately, leading to continued power failures. Issues with the starter motor can also arise, hindering the vehicle's ability to start. Furthermore, blown or damaged fuse links near the battery can disrupt the electrical system, contributing to power loss. Lastly, problems with the ignition system components, including the ignition switch and relay, can result in similar power issues. It is advisable for owners to systematically check these components to diagnose and resolve the underlying problems.
