In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Kia Sportage (SL) (models 2011, 2012, and 2013), including diagrams of the fuse boxes, a list of fuses and relays, their designation, and the location of the fuse blocks within the vehicle.
Checking and Replacing Fuses in Kia Sportage
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will melt.
Caution!
- Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
- Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
- A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly a fire.
- Never install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse – even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and a possible fire.
- Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.
Location of Fuse Boxes
Passenger Compartment:
Open the fuse panel cover.
Engine Compartment:
Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover up.
Main fuse and multi fuse
If the main fuse and multi fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- 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.
