Kia Sportage: Inner panel fuse replacement
- Turn the ignition switch or ENGINE
START/STOP button and all other
switches off.
- Open the fuse panel cover.
- Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided in the
main fuse box in the engine compartment.
- Check the removed fuse; replace it if
it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the instrument
panel fuse panel (or in the
engine compartment fuse panel).
- Push in a new fuse of the same rating,
and make sure it fits tightly in the
clips.
If it fits loosely, consult an authorized Kia
dealer.
If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of
the same rating from a circuit you may
not need for operating the vehicle, such
as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlamps or taillamps, stoplights,
courtesy lamp, day time running lights
(DRL) do not work and the fuses are OK,
consult an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
The electronic system may not function
correctly even when the engine room

are not disconnected. In such case the
cause of the problem may be disconnection
of the main fuse (BFT type), which is located inside the
positive battery terminal
(+) cap. Since the main fuse is
designed more intricately than other
parts, visit the nearest authorized Kia
dealer.

If the main fuse is blown, it must be
removed as follows:

- Remove the nuts shown in the picture
above.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of
the same rating.
- Reinstall in the reverse order of
removal.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery cap for
secure closing. If the battery cap is not
securely latched, the electrical system
may be damaged to due influx of moisture
into the system.
