While scotch locks "work" the allow corrosion to start in the wires making all the lights on the rear unreliable.
So much better to just plug in a plug.
This plug is labeled "C402" in Tracker manuals. I haven't figured out what Suzuki calls in (L17 or L19... maybe.)
The plug can be accessed by removing the driver's side tail light and following the harness forward about a foot. You'll find a plug taped to the harness.
This picture is taken from inside the car, with the side panel removed. Looking into the cavity normally accessed from the tail light. You can see the blue plug and the remnants of the tape that held it to the harness.
I pulled the harness into the interior of the car for the pictures.
6 pin connector
4 green wires, one black and one red/yellow
1 - Green/Red (G/R) is the LH turn signal
2 - Green/Yellow (G/Y) is the RH turn signal
3 - Green is 12v power from the 15amp Stop/Horn fuse
6 - Green/White (G/W) is the brake light.
5 - Red/Yellow (R/W) is the marker/clearance lights
4 - Black (B) is ground.
To use this with the common (US) flat four trailer connector you need a combiner. It will take the separate turn signal and brake lights and combine them into a pair of combined tail light. Now days they make combiners with the proper plug already installed.
If you can not find one, or you already have a combiner you want to reuse and need a plug I have found one that works.
It is in the door lock circuit and you might already have a spare plug to use. If your car came with a Suzuki security system. (Normally non-op by now.) It can be found under the dash, behind the glove box. If you look close, I have an arrow pointing at a security system plug on my 1994 JLX. Even if you do not have power door locks there might be an unused security plug hanging under the dash... were the dealer "install tech" left it. I have also got the plug from the car harness in junkyards.
