Will not start

Cars need four things to start and run. (1) Gas (2) Air (3) and Sparks (4) one to three have to be at the right time and in the right amount/strength. Let's start with simple and cheap things. Your fuel pump and ignition coil (creates sparks) are both protected by fuses. So, basically, check your fuses to start with. Take a look at the articles below:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-a-car-fuse

I am attaching some pictures to show you where the fuse boxes are. The second one ("sidekick 2") is looking at the front of the car, but the fuse box is inside the car, under the dash panel. I wish I had a better image for you, but that is what Suzuki published. It is basically somewhere near the driver's left knee.

Check that and let us know what you find. We will go from there.

Change it. Cannot hurt. Do you know Which fuse it is?

Which fuse panel is this? The one inside by your left knee or under the hood? Either way I would change it. Should not cost more than a couple of bucks from AutoZone or whatever you have near you. Just pull the one you have and take it there to match it up with a replacement.

Oh sorry I thought you checked all of the fuses. Definitely check them all. Even the ones inside the car. Replace any blown ones too

Yeah I don't have the information in front of me but there's probably a fuse for the ECM (computer) in there. It controls fuel injectors and sometimes the sparks

Ok so since you checked all the fuses and replaced the blown one and it's still not starting, it's time to check for sparks and fuel. You can either (1) get a spark tester (cost about $15) and check that each cylinder is getting fire or (2) spray some starting fluid ($3 at the local auto parts shop) into the air intake and crank it. If it fires, then you have sparks and no fuel.

Spark tester that I use: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-20610-Inline-Spark-Tester/dp/B0002STSC6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501325755&sr=8-3&keywords=spark+tester

If there are no sparks on any cylinder, then the most likely cause would be the coil. Confirm by hooking your spark tester up between the coil and the distributor and turn the key to see if there's any fire there. Does that make sense to you?

If the problem is fuel related, then we could be looking at a bad fuel pump or totally clogged filter (I doubt it's the filter but possible). There are tests for that as well. See this guide: https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator A pressure gauge can be borrowed from Auto Zone with a deposit. Your pump should put out between 36 and 42 psi with the engine off and key on.

So, let us know.

Been there before. The good news is since this a forum on the web, we're in no particular rush here, so I can wait.

You are welcome, please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help.

Yep sorry, the fuel pump is in the tank, Here is a guide and some diagrams (below) to help you get the job done.

You will need to jack the car up safely first.

Here is what you are in for when doing the fuel pump

Please let us know what happens.

I'm not sure what book you're looking in, but your car has the fuel pump in the tank, just like 99% of cars out there. Personally, before dropping the tank, I'd have someone turn the key on and while I listen to the pump so I can tell if it's at least trying to run. If it comes on then you should check the fuel pressure, as I outlined earlier. If you've already checked the pressure and it's low, then drop the tank and replace the pump.

Being that you drove the car home and it was fine then, I highly doubt that you have a fuel line problem. But it's never a bad idea to take a brief look for obvious problems (namely a kink in the line). It's also a good idea to put a new fuel filter on, since you're going to be under the car anyway.

Using the diagrams and such that Ken laid out above, you should have all of the info that you need. Of course feel free to come back on here if you need anything else. Let us know how it goes.
