Ignition Switch

  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Disconnect ignition switch harness connectors from junction/fuse block or in-line harness connectors at base of steering column. On Esteem, disconnect junction/fuse block harness connectors G30, G31 and G32. See Fig 1. On Grand Vitara, Vitara & XL7, disconnect ignition switch harness connectors. See Fig 2. On Swift, disconnect junction/fuse block harness connectors E66 and E67. See Fig 3 .
