Repair a Fuse: 2016 Hyundai Tucson Fuse Diagram and Relay Guide
If you need to quickly and effectively fix a blown fuse in your 2016 Hyundai Tucson, you need to know where the relays and fuse diagram are located. Fuses are very important for keeping electrical systems safe because they stop the flow of current when circuits are overloaded or short-circuited. With a detailed fuse diagram and switch layout, drivers can quickly find the fuse that is causing the circuit to not work. Some pictures help speed up the troubleshooting process. They are usually located in the fuse box, which is easy for the driver to reach. In addition, relays, which are like switches for high-current circuits, may be shown on the diagram to help with troubleshooting and repair even more. Now that drivers know this, they can safely fix blown fuses in their 2016 Hyundai Tucson, restoring electrical functionality and making sure the car keeps running.

FUSES
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one located in the driver’s side panel bolster, and the other in the engine compartment near the battery.
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 or broken.
If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the engine and all switches off, and then disconnect the negative battery cable. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating.
If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Information
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade type For lower amperage rating, cartridge type/Multi fuse/Battery fuse terminal for higher amperage ratings
WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same rating.
- A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly cause a fire.
- Do not install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse – even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and possibly a fire.
CAUTION
Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.
Instrument Panel Fuse Replacement
- Turn the engine off.
- Turn all other switches OFF.
- Open the fuse panel cover.
- Refer to the label on the inside of the fuse panel cover to locate the suspected fuse location.
- Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the engine compartment fuse panel.
- Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in the instrument panel fuse panels (or in the engine compartment fuse panel).
- 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 HYUNDAI dealer.
In an emergency, if you do not have a spare fuse, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the cigarette lighter fuse.
If the headlamps or other electrical components do not work and the fuses are OK, check the fuse panel in the engine compartment. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced with the same rating.
Fuse switch
Always, place the fuse switch in the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as the audio system and digital clock must be reset and the smart key may not work properly.
Information
If the fuse switch is OFF, the above message will appear.
NOTICE
- Always place the fuse switch in the ON position while driving the vehicle.
- Do not move the fuse switch repeatedly. The fuse switch may be damaged.
Engine Compartment Panel Fuse Replacement
- Turn the engine off.
- Turn all other switches OFF.
- Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tap and pulling up.
- 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.
- 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 HYUNDAI dealer.
CAUTION
After checking the fuse box in the engine compartment securely close the fuse box cover inside the engine compartment, until it clicks.
If the fuse box is not closed properly, water may leak inside, possibly causing a malfunction with the electrical system.
Main fuse
If the main fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Turn off the engine.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling it up.
- 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.
Information
If the main fuse is blown, consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
Multi fuse
If the multi fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Turn off the engine.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling it up.
- 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.
Information
If the multi fuse is blown, consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

FAQs
The first step is to locate the fuse box in your Hyundai Tucson. Typically, it is located in the engine bay or under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
Inspect the fuse visually to see if the metal strip inside is intact. If it’s broken or burnt, the fuse is likely blown.
The fuse box cover usually has a diagram displaying the fuse layout and the function of each fuse.
You typically only need a pair of needle-nose pliers or a fuse puller, both of which are often included in the fuse box.
No, it’s not recommended. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same amp rating to prevent damage to your vehicle’s electrical system.
You may need to kneel and look under the dashboard on the driver’s side. Some fuses are accessible by simply pulling off the cover.
If you can’t locate the blown fuse visually, you might need to use a multimeter to test each fuse individually for continuity.
Yes, the headlights typically have their fuse. Refer to the fuse diagram to find the specific fuse for the headlights.
Yes, a blown fuse can affect various electrical components in your vehicle, depending on which circuit the fuse protects.
Relays are usually square-shaped and can be tested using a multimeter or by swapping with a known working relay of the same type.
Yes, you can usually replace a fuse without disconnecting the battery. However, it’s always a good idea to disconnect the battery if you’re unsure or working on electrical components.
If replacing the fuse doesn’t solve the problem, there might be a deeper electrical issue that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
Fuses typically last a long time and only need to be replaced if they blow due to a short circuit or overload.
While it’s not necessary to replace all fuses at once, it’s a good idea to check other fuses if you suspect an electrical issue to ensure none are faulty.
