Engine compartment fuse replacement

1
Turn the ENGINE START/STOP button and all other switches OFF.
2
Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover up.
3
Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. To remove or insert the fuse, use the fuse puller in the engine compartment fuse panel.
4
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.
CAUTION

Always securely install the fuse panel cover in the engine compartment to protect against electrical failure which may occur from water contact. Listen for the audible clicking sound to ensure fuse panel cover is securely fastened.

NOTICE

If the main (multi) fuse is blown, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

NOTICE

The electronic system may not function correctly even when the engine compartment and internal fuse box's individual fuses are not disconnected. In such cases, 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, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.

After checking the fuse panel in the engine compartment, securely install the fuse panel cover through the audible clicking sound. If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.

Main fuse (Multi fuse)

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

1
Turn off the engine.
2
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3
Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.
4
Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
5
Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
NOTICE

Do not disassemble nor assemble the multi fuse when it is secured with nuts and bolts. Incorrect or partial assembly torque may cause a fire. Have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
