A burning fuel fuse in a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick when trying to start could indicate a short circuit in the fuel system, likely due to damaged wiring or faulty components such as the fuel pump or relay. It may also be caused by a malfunctioning fuel injector or a clogged fuel filter, leading to excessive current draw. Inspecting the wiring and components for damage or wear is essential to diagnose and resolve the issue safely.
Does it crank?
where is safety switch located and can it be bypassed?
If it is fuel injected. It is likely the computer, that run the fuel injection system. This is located behind the glove box.
Does the starter work? if yes is there spark ?if yes is there fuel?

I had this problem with my 95 sidekick. It was the fuel filter gone bad.
there isn't one ( 96 it start that year) you only have a cam sensor in the base of the distributor.
Yes, in a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick with a manual transmission, the vehicle must be in gear with the clutch engaged (depressed) to start. This is a safety feature designed to prevent the car from rolling or lurching forward if it were to start in gear. If the clutch is not engaged, the starter will not activate. Always ensure the vehicle is in neutral and the clutch is fully pressed before starting.
Maybe something with the safety switch on the clutch, or the wiring going to the starter. May be ignition switch also.
piston get stucked in the cylinder

There could be several reasons why your 1995 Suzuki Sidekick won't start. Common issues include a dead battery, faulty starter motor, or a problem with the ignition system, such as a bad ignition switch or spark plugs. Additionally, issues with fuel delivery, like a clogged fuel filter or a failing fuel pump, could prevent the engine from starting. Checking these components systematically can help identify the root cause.
