The Maruti Ritz is a bulletproof car, but it has a few known quirks. One of the most frustrating ones is turning the key, hearing a single loud “CLICK,” but the engine doesn’t crank.

Before you call a tow truck or replace the expensive starter motor, check the starter relay. It is a common failure point on older Ritz models.

What You Need

• A 10mm wrench
• A new 4-pin relay (Part Number: 95200-M68K00) - Costs around ₹450 at any Maruti parts store.

The Fix

1. Pop the hood and locate the fuse box on the right side (battery side).
2. Open the lid and look at the diagram inside the cover.
3. Locate the “Starter Relay” slot.
4. Pull the old relay out (you might need to wiggle it).
5. Push the new relay firmly into place.
6. Turn the key.

That’s it! Your Ritz should fire right back up. Save this post for the next time your car gives you trouble.
