Electrical Circuit Protection
Fuses
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from
electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has two fuse panels, one located in the
driver’s side kick panel, the other in the engine
compartment near the battery. A fuse panel chart is
provided later in this section.
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.
Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same
rating.
If the replacement fuse blows out, this indicates an
electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved
and immediately consult an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Two kinds of fuses are used: standard for lower
amperage rating, and main for higher amperage
ratings.
