    I have a '93 Suburban 4x4. The brake warning light and the ABS light come on sometimes when I turn on the wipers. The wipers also work intermittently when this happens. Sounds like a similar problem.

Sounds like your multifunction switch. ie: turn signal. Headlights, blinkers and wipers as well as cruise all go through it.

Can a blown fuse cause the gas gauge to stop working?

It has something called a 'hot fuel module', but no idea what that is.

Fuse box diagram (location and assignment of electrical fuses and relays) for Chevrolet (Chevy) Suburban (GMT400; 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999).

According to this it is a know issue and the gauge has a reset procedure.

How do you reset the fuel gauge on a Chevy Suburban?

Press and hold the "Trip/Odo" button. Turn the ignition switch on and hold the "Trip/Odo" switch for about two seconds. Then, release the "Trip/Odo" button, press it again (do this three or four times), and finally hold it for about four to five seconds until the leveling information shows on the Odometer.Jun. 19, 2021

1993 Chevy Suburban. Why does it want to start but doesn't turn?

If your saying the starter motor won't crank? Make sure the battery has a full charge and battery connections are all good. Then check the wiring circuits at the starter for voltage and ground. When testing at the starter make sure tranny is in park or neutral and the parking brake is set.

If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, also check fuel injector pulse. Can you check applicable trouble codes? How long since a tune-up?

Have a 1999 Chev. Suburban. Problem is with brake lights. Top panel (on roof) works but neither side panel works. Replaced circut boards in tail lights, new bulbs, and all fuses are good. What next?

WITH A GOOD FUSE TESTER, TEST ALL THE FUSES FUSEBOX UNDER THE HOOD & INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IF THE FUSES ARE ALL GOOD WITH THE TESTER YOU MUST HAVE A BAD BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OR A BAD TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT GOES UP THROUGH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH & THEN TO THE BRAKE LIGHTS. FIRST OF ALL IS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH GOOD ? THE ORANGE WIRE FEEDS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, THE WHITE WIRE PUTS POWER TO THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, SO THE LIGHTS CAN BE USED AS TURN LIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS. , PUT A TESTER IN THE WHITE WIRE & PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE TEST LIGHT LIGHTS UP, BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS GOOD, BY THE WAY THE BRAKE LIGHT FUSE MAY BE LABELED" STOP", THE FUSE LABELED" BRAKE" IS FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. TO CHECK THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH FOR BRAKE LIGHTS, REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER FROM UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, PUT THE TESTER IN THE SMALL YELLOW WIRE, THEN THE SMALL GREEN WIRE. IF THERE IS NO POWER IN EITHER WIRE, THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH IS BAD.

The rear passenger turn signal/brake does not work.front turn signal and marker light flash.turn signal on dash flashes fast.have replaced and checked rear bulbs.think it may be a broken wire but not sure...

Check between connections, starting from back of lights. Turn hazards on and use a safety pin to poke through wire and test with test light, be sure to tape over hole.

96 suburban brake ligh don't work

you may have to change the brake light switch at the top of the brake pedal stop by your local GM dealership in the parts department and they be able to print you off pictures and diagrams but check on the part at your local part store because it maybe cheaper wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
