I have a Suzuki Vitara 2003 and the lights on the back dont work only the bumper and the strip light at the top work for breaks is this correct as nothing from both sides show up?

Either bad circuit film connection (common) or other wire connection. Could be a ground wire to the tail light assembly or wiring to relays.

How do I trouble shoot no start when it's below 32f

First thing that comes to mind is a battery that is still strong but can't make the grade went temperature is as you say. Is this an old battery, is it a no service battery, has the battery been checked for proper fluid levels, has battery been tested with hydrometer. What I'm getting at is get your battery checked. GOOD LUCK FRIEND.

2000 Suzuki Vitara will not

Hi! My friend and I have experienced similar problem with each of our Suzuki Grand Vitara 2000 (his) and 2002 (mine). He discovered (two years ago) that cooling the "camshaft rotary sensor" by pouring (normal) water (which I also did just last week) and it works to start & run the car until the next pull-over. You have to redo pouring water if you stop the endine and does not re-start. But this may be just an emergency solution wherein you have to let the car be serviced by a mechanic.

Flushed the heater core changed thermostat, water pump is good, changed fuse, heater was throwing heat but was over heating,checked radiator(flushed and added new fluid) now back to no heat

no, not special but you failed to stated engine, there are many engines.and some are very tricky here, like 2.0L.First state the symptoms, your post states its overheating, then no heat. (why?)old post. but others might Ill post , overheating ,Example if me, with overheat.I see my dash gauge, show overheating and engine power drops and pings, then steam vents from the rad, cap?Over heating (ill skip cab heater but on 2L this path blocked causes thermostat to go quite nuts. not posting engine, makes this hard.)1: full of 50% AF (antifreeze)2: new thermoSTAT they age and fail fast. so get a new one.put STAT in with the wax slug down, and jiggle bleed pin forward.get air out of system after filling, (RTM)start car, and....4: then using and IR pyro gun we then check thatthe thermostat housing hits 170F min. but not too hot.run motor till top rad hose gets too hot to touch 180f is normal.I had to drive 10 miles, to get it up to 180F.my car has the hotter, 195 STA,T so runs at 195f. (helps cooling)USING the pyro gun , the top and bottom of each rad tube.This tool is Amazing.... and saves burn hands.if the bottom of any RAD tube is way less than the others?, that is a clogged UP rad tube. solution is , NEW RAD.Usually rad repairs, are more costly than new. IN USA.The water pump must spin at full speed, belt tight.The impeller or some suz, motors likes disappear. from electrolysis action. so not looking at the impeller is a FAILURE on the mechanic side.if this car has 2.0 I-4 (4 banger) it has a coolant tube on the rearof the STAT housing, this tube must flow coolant at all times.if it dont, the thermostat , will go nuts.nuts means, that insufficient flow passes the thermostat wax blockcausing the thermostat to cycle in a wild and random way.I dont like this design but is reality. If applicable.post country, post engine type and state the symptoms.

P0172 sensor system to rich

Correct, code 172 is fuel system too rich bank one.This means the computer is trying to cut back on the fuel going thru the injectors and according to the O2 sensor it is still rich.Could be a faulty sensor, or a leaking injector, or fuel pressure regulator.

Vibration between 40 and 60 mph

when did you have your tires balanced last. If it has been awhile have them re-balanced. Your description sounds like you may have thrown a weight.
