Us too, I drove the truck on ramps, got under it and found an exhaust clamp was loose. the bolt securing it rusted out, removed it, used a 2 1/4 metal clamp, 3 minute fix.. but if one is loose odds are there might be another, i can hear another rattle one somewhere but from a different location.. the baffle over my cat was like that 2 years ago so was my neighbours (2005), removed it, no more noise. this truck seems notorious for these kinds of rattles, most noticeable when driving at low speeds or idle. 8 years old reliable fuel efficient driving service, at 145k its running strong. I love this truck.

My Mechanic spent 3 hrs tracing the wiring schematic, and discovered that the Rear window defogger switch had a short that backfed power to the daytime running lights when the ignition was off and the defogger was on. Bill is about 400 bucks, mostly labor, but he earned it.

How do you replace an ac compressor for 2002 suzuki grand vitara xl7?

Warning; pressurized refrigerant can cause injuries, do not disconnect lines with the system still pressurized. Before you go into the expense of replacing the compressor, be sure you arent just low on refrigerant (R-134A). There are also several fuses and much cheaper pressure sensors in the system. Lastly, if the compressor goes out there may be metal shavings in the system there are other parts you would need to replace as well or risk damaging a new compressor. If you are sure its a bad compressor: haynes and chiltons have manuals that will walk you through a repair step by step and the books are about $15. They cover every system in your car, include troubleshooting instructions, and are well worth the cost. Also...walk in to any autozone, napa, or oreilly's, the guys behind the counter will be very helpful.
