Maybe something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_fuel_evaporator. ????

This might give an idea. I imagine the idea will be to find the connector to it and disconnect it, and then see if the 30mm- fuse continues to blow. It would be #1 in the photo. Just like #11 in the diagram that Fordem posted.

#11 - sits between the throttle body (#9) and the manifold (#1)

Thank you

I’d suggest that, when you find the connector to the EFE, you disconnect it and see if the 30 amp fuse still blows. Would be curious as to the response.

Thank you all
Looking for the EFE... delayed start today due to work
Will update

Hi All, Am stuck due to not having tools.. talked with another mechanic who didn't hesitate and said its the multifunction switch which is the same as the combination switch I think which is where we all were going in addition to the EFE a
Can't find the switch online for sale... is this the same as a turn signal switch... can't find that either, found a thread about it Geo Metro Forum-95 Turn Signal Combination Switch - please help!

Still looking for it and will post if / when it's found

Look at Fordem’s post #59, and look for part #11 in that post. You will not see the actual EFE heater as it’s sandwiched in between other components, but you should be able to see the connector that’s plugged into it.
In Fordem’s post #45, the combination switch is #4. It controls your windshield wipers, headlights, blinkers, etc., etc. It does not control your hazard lights. When you put the 40 amp fuse back in the proper place, did the headlights and blinkers, etc., start to work? That 40 amp fuse controls all of them. ???

Take a look again at page 16 of the scribd link you posted. That 40 amp fuse controls a lot of things that you advised weren’t working…???? Page 10 shows the circuit for your hazard lights.

No... when I put the 40 amp fuse back where it is supposed to go everything that worked before I took it out and put it in the wrong place started to work again... the blinkers and hazards weren't working before I pulled out the 40 amp fuse and still don't work after I put it back in the right place...

Do you know if a 40 amp fuse could be weakened and only be able to power some things and not all?

Just found this

Geo Metro Forum-Combination switch Wiring diagram

I have a 95 1.3 Lt. 5 speed Suzuki Swift. I am looking for a wiring diagram or schematic for the combination switch. I am having headlight issues (no

This car's high beams only worked if I held the blinker arm towards me. This stopped working at some point,not recently . In the high beam position they didn't work. Daytime running lights work thankfully.

No - fuses either work or they don't.

Maybe list again the things that currently do not work on your car. With regard to the hazards/blinkers, they work off of two separate wiring circuits, and all they have in common is the turn signal relay. The hazards do not go through the combination switch.
The combination switch deals with many components, some of which you are not complaining about….windshield wipers, for example. ???
Do you know how to test wiring? For example, turning a component on that is not working, and backprobing the wire at that component to see if you are getting battery voltage?

A couple of points...

The combination switch has multiple sections which, despite being sold as a single unit, all function independently of one another - for example - the light switch, which is physically mounted on the end of the turn signal stalk, shares no wiring with the turn signals. The high/low beam part of the switch does not use the same contacts as the high beam flasher, and is separate from the "OFF/PARK/HEAD" part of the light switch - the washer/wiper switch is another stalk on the opposite side of the unit and as before shares no wiring. Depending on the vehicle and it's options there can be between six to as many as ten different switches in the assembly.

I could be wrong on this, but, if I remember correctly, on a 95 Swift, the hazard light switch, which does share wiring with the turn signal switch is physically located on the top center of the assembly. I'm 100% certain that's where it is on the 94, but as I said earlier there are differences.

Now, even though Suzuki does not supply the individual switches, it is possible to take these units apart and in some cases repair them - it depends on what's wrong with them, all that's needed is someone who has experience taking things apart and reassembling them, someone who can figure out for themselves how things work, rather than expecting to learn it by watching a YouTube video.

In re-reading post #1, it appears no blinkers, no headlights, no horn. DRL was not working but now is. Shift arrows on the dash work. When replacing the 30 amp fuse, the blinkers worked for a while and then stopped. ???

Thank you

Components not working or failing:
Blinkers - all four external, arrows on dash.
Hazards - all four
High beams - will check bulbs
PTC 30A fuse in small relay box under hood

Components that are working:
Windshield wipers
Heater fan on any setting except high
Rear window defrost - this never worked
Emergency brake light staus lit on dash
Shift arrow stays lit on dash

Thank you
Have thought this too, if they can be re-manned
Yes the button for the haards is between the steering wheel and dash

 

[Bex]

Horn now works??

 

[Bex]

If you look at page 10 of the wiring diagram you posted, it appears that the turn signal lights on your dash (which you advise work) are activated by the same switch in the combination switch as the turn signals on the car body.
