Check the connections to the sender on top of the fuel tank.

Not sure on vitaras, but I know its a tight fit to get in there on sammys, you might end up having to drop the tank...

pull the left rear tail light out - there is a plug behind it for the rear lights and fuel tank. make sure none of the wires are corroded. it not give them a good spray with some grease or such to protect the wires.

here's another stupid question my lights are in the back bumper how do i get them out do i push them from behind i have tried this with no joy or do the lenses come off from the front? The  owners manual seems to suggest pushing from back of bumper Haynes and chiltons have no reference to these lamps regards alan
