In this article, you will find information about the fuses of the Kia Sportage (JE/KM) (models 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010), 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 any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be melted.
Caution!
- Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
- Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
- Never install a wire instead of the proper fuse – even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and possibly a 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 left side trim of the driver’s instrument panel.
Engine Compartment:
Remove the fuse box cover by pressing the taps on both ends and pulling up.
If the ALT fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the screws shown in the picture above.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
- Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
