About David Scott
Expertise
Questions regarding the advisability of different kinds of modifications to Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker or various kinds of off-road usage. I will not attempt to do more than provide links for questions about other Suzukis such as Vitara, Grand Vitara, etc. I may or may not give generalized advice for newer models, but have no experience regarding newer models, and will not attempt to give more than the most generalized answers for questions regarding vehicles later than '93 manufacture. I will however, if possible, provide a link that will help you contact a professional in your region.
Experience
I've been a professional mechanic for over thirty five years, live in the center of the Rocky Mountains, and have been active in exploring the old mining/4wd roads for decades. I've specific experience with Samurai modification, because that's my personal vehicle.
Education/Credentials
Thirty five years of advanced, intensive classes for experienced professionals only. Manufacturer seminars and training classes averaging four to six weeks per year. I'm now a professional heavy duty fleet mechanic, and no longer deal with issues such as MIL (check engine) lights

Question
You have helped me greatly before and I hope you can help again. Left turn signal started clicking and buzzing the other day and after wigglin' it it came on. That night I went to use the car again and went to turn on the lights and it caused my radio to turn off for a second, then as I drove every time I would use the brake the headlights would blink for a second (only when I would just touch the brake pedal not as it was depressed). I use this car to deliver papers so I use the lights for 3-4 hours per night. Last night I needed to use the hazard switch for on coming traffic and apon hitting the switch, head lights went off and I quickly hit the switch again brining them back on. When I got home and went to park the car I turn the ignition off before the lights (which would have left all lights and fan/radio turned on) but all went black and the car wouldnt start again not even a click. I thought I'd check the battery cables and while standing in front of the car opening the hood everythin came back on. Local Chevy/geo dealer said its most likely a faulty hazard signal switch and or relay. Any clue? Any where I can find a diagram of wiring to look for bad grounds without tearing everything apart? Fuses are good, relays I'm not sure how to check.
Answer
The only place I can think of is in a Suzuki FACTORY Manual. The Chilton and Haines are "generic" and may not apply to your vehicle.
I don't know any other way that has a good chance of ultimately being successful. It sounds like a ground issue.
