Pry out the centre section of the controls, between the levers, with a small screwdriver, and you'll find the hidden screws. The knobs pull off the levers.
Just done this on a 1999 model UK Vitara (should be same as US sidekick) and as above said, pull knobs of levers, remove and disconnect clock and radio if fitted, remove 2 top screws and remove 2 screws hidden in ashtray. Panel should then pull off (only held by a clip either side)
The best solution is to purchase and install a clamp on block heater which is available through a Suzuki dealer. To my knowledge, you can't install a normal type of block heater (installs in frost plug). Dave Saskatchewan Canada 96 Suzuki Sidekick Sport

To get to the bulb for lighting the heater controls, the front panel will have to be removed. Depending on the type of vehicle, the knobs might have to be popped off first. It is also possible on some vehicles to get to the lighting for the heater controls from under the dash.

Heater blower resistor is what controls the low medium high speeds...
