  3. Pull the suspected fuse straight out using the fuse puller provided in the engine compartment fuse panel.
  4. Check if the fuse you removed is blown. If so, use the fuse puller again to replace the fuse.
  5. To replace the blown fuse, push in a new fuse of the same rating and make sure it fits tightly in the clips. If the new fuse does not fit tightly, consult an authorized Kia dealer.
    NOTE

    After you check the engine compartment fuse panel, securely install the fuse panel cover (make sure you hear the audible click sound). If you do not securely install the fuse panel cover, electrical failures may occur due to contact with water.

    TIP

    If the multi-fuse is blown, consult an authorized Kia dealer.

    NOTE

    The electronic system may not function correctly, even when the engine room and internal fuse box’s individual fuses are not disconnected. In this case, the main fuse (BFT type), which is inside the positive 12V battery terminal cap, may be disconnected and causing the malfunction. Because the main fuse is designed more intricately than other parts, have it serviced by an authorized Kia dealer.
