Default Sold a lemon?

I purchased a 2004 7XL with around 110,000kms on it from a dealer. I have had it about 3 months and since having have had the following problems.

• Right front indicator now doesn’t work (do i have to take the whole front end to change the bulb?)
• Interior light now doesn’t work
• Clock doesn’t keep correct time
• Sometimes when changing the time on the clock, hazards lights come on at same time
• Car door lock sometimes after about 2 mins(not sure if suppose too)

Anyone had similar problems?

Wow! I wish I could help!
I can't help but wonder if these things are all related. Maybe a specific area of your wiring harness? You should try a specialised auto electric shop, or at least a Suzuki dealer. If you can get this resolved, you have a great vehicule in your hands. They are normally very tough, reliable vehicles, not to mention, a blast in snow & mud! Good luck to you!
P.S. Don't you guys measure in miles? We in Canada converted to metric in the '70's. I still call some things in Imperial, though! (inches, miles per gallon)
Cheers!

We went metric in Oz in the 1970s. Some old habits die hard though.

These all, for the most part, sound like functions controlled by the BCM. There may be trouble codes stored in it, or it may be failing internally.

Has it got an alarm, cruise control or any other "aftermarket" electrical gear installed? Perhaps someone has done a bad wiring job and caused some of the problems?

PS: I think it mentions in the owner's manual about having to remove the front lights to replace the indicator globes?
