Over here in the Netherlands most cars have a start disconnector (is that how it's called?) installed.
this thing is used to block people from starting the engine and using the car without the proper keys and stuff.
Today the one on my 92 vitara (tracker/sidekick) broke so I decided to get rid of the damn thing.
Now I followed all the wires through that came out of it (9) and looked where they went, everything was cut off and the wires that were rerouted through it were connected to eachother again.
All fine you'd say right? NOT....
Because now I have no power in the car anymore, no lights on the dash no little clock thingy next to the ashtray, nothing.
I checked all the fuses and they're all fine as far as I can tell, but maybe I forgot some, are there any hidden fuses, besides the ones under the dash and the ones next to the battery?
And if not, anyone got an idea on what else this might be?
I'm gonna go through ack's site now to get the wiring diagrams and stuff so that I can check if something is wrong as well.

if that is in the original harness you probably were supposed to leave it there.....you should have cut one wire at a time and tried the vehicle after every cut...then you know when something won't work.

It wasn't original, they cut a couple original wires and put it in between :-\
and I couldn't start it anymore anyway cos the thing was broken and wouldn't let me ;)

My dad's truck (Ford Ranger) had a similar problem - ended up being something called a "fusable link". Not sure what those are, but it didn't look like it had a fuse in it (or at least - the kind of fuses I'm used to seeing). Anyone know if Suzukis have fusable links, and where they are?
-
they do, at least mine does (I think), and I gotta measure it to see if it's still broken, but it's the part at the battery there is a small cable coming from the + that has a connecter after about an inch or 3-4 then it goes into the white/yellow cable that feeds the dash, and about all the things in the cab that need power according to the wiring diagrams I found on the net ;)
Thanx for the tips so far.
