Kia Fuses Guide
A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses.
Blade type
Cartridge type
Multi fuse
BFT
Left side: Normal, Right side: Blown
This vehicle has 2 (or 3) fuse panels, one located in the driver’s side panel bolster, the other in the engine compartment near the battery. If any of your vehicle’s lights, accesso-ries, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will melt. If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. If the replacement fuse blows, this indi-cates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an authorized Kia dealer. Three kinds of fuses are used: blade type for lower amperage rating, car-tridge type, and multi fuse for higher amperage ratings.
WARNING
Fuse replacement
- Never replace a fuse with anything but another fuse 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 arbitrarily modify or add-on electric wiring to the vehicle.
NOTICE
- When replacing a fuse, turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and turn off switches of all electrical devices, then remove battery (-) terminal.
- The actual fuse/relay panel label may differ from equipped items.
WARNING
Electrical Fire
Always ensure replacement fuses and relays are securely fastened when installed. Failure to do so can result in a vehicle fire. Do not remove fuses, relays and termi-nals fastened with bolts or nuts. The fuses, relays and terminals may be fas-tened incompletely, and it may cause a possible fire. If fuses, relays and termi-nals fastened with bolts or nuts are blown, consult with an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
When replacing a blown fuse or relay, make sure the new fuse or relay fits tightly into the clips. Failure to tightly install the fuse or relay may cause dam-age to the wiring and electric systems.
CAUTION
- Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into fuse/relay terminals, such as a screwdriver or wiring. It may cause contact failure and system malfunction.
- Do not plug in screwdrivers or after market wiring into the terminal originally designed for fuse and relays only. The electrical system and wiring of the vehicle interior may be damaged or burned due to contact failure.
- If you directly connect the wire on the taillight or replace the bulb, which is over the regulated capacity to install trailers etc., the inner junction block can get burned.
WARNING
Electrical wiring repairs
All electrical repairs should be per-formed by authorized Kia dealerships using approved Kia parts. Using other wiring components, especially when retrofitting multimedia or theft alarm sys-tem, car phone or radio may cause vehicle damage and increase the risk of a vehicle fire.
NOTICE
Remodeling Prohibited
Do not rewire your vehicle in any way, as doing so may affect the performance of several safety features in your vehicle. Rewiring your vehicle may also void your warranty and cause you to be responsi-ble for any subsequent vehicle damage, which may result.
Replacing inner panel fuse
- Turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and all other switches off.
- Open the fuse panel cover.
- Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided on the engine fuse panel cover.
- Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided 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 Kia dealer. If you do not have a spare, use a fuse of the same rating from a circuit you may not need for operating the vehicle, such as the power outlet fuse. If the head lamp, turn signal lamp, stop signal lamp, fog lamp, DRL, tail lamp, High Mounted Stop Lamp (HMSL) 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.
NOTICE
If the headlamp, fog lamp, turn signal lamp, or tail lamp malfunctions, even without any problem to the lamps, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer for assistance.
Replacing engine compartment fuse
- Turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and all other switches off.
- Remove the fuse panel cover by pressing the tab and pulling the cover 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 autho-rized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
Always securely install the fuse panel cover in the engine compartment to pro-tect against electrical failure which may occur from water contact. Listen for the audible clicking sound to ensure fuse panel cover is securely fastened.
Multi fuse
- Turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and all other switches off.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
- Reverse these steps to reinstall the multi fuse.
NOTICE
Do not disassemble nor assemble the multi fuse when it is secured with nuts and bolts. Incorrect or partial assembly torque may cause a fire. Have the vehi-cle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Main fuse
If the main fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and all other switches off.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the nuts shown in the picture above.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
- Reverse these steps to reinstall the multi fuse.
NOTICE
The electronic system may not function correctly even when the engine com-partment and internal fuse box’s individ-ual fuses are not disconnected. In such cases, the cause of the problem may be disconnection of the main fuse (BFT type), which is located inside the positive battery terminal (+) cap. Since the main fuse is designed more intricately than other parts, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
Do not disassemble nor assemble the main fuse when it is secured with nuts and bolts. Incorrect or partial assembly torque may cause a fire. Have the vehi-cle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
Battery fuse
If the battery fuse is blown, it must be removed as follows:
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
- Remove the nuts shown in the picture below.
- Replace the fuse with a new one of the same rating.
- Reinstall in the reverse order of removal.
NOTICE
If the battery fuse is blown, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION

How to Replace the Fuses of the 2025 Kia Seltos
Replacing the fuses in your 2025 Kia Seltos is a straightforward process, but it’s important to follow the proper steps to ensure safety and that you replace the correct fuse. Here’s how you can do it:
Materials:
- The new fuse of the correct amperage.
- Fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.
Steps to Replace Fuses
1. Locate the Fuse Box
- Interior Fuse Box: Found under the dashboard on the driver’s side.
- Engine Bay Fuse Box: Located near the battery under the hood. Look for a rectangular plastic cover labeled “FUSE BOX.”
2. Turn Off the Car
- Ensure the ignition is off and remove the key. For added safety, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
3. Open the Fuse Box Cover
- Use your hands or a small tool to lift the cover off the fuse box. The underside of the cover often has a diagram of the fuse layout.
4. Identify the Faulty Fuse
- Inspect the fuse for a broken or melted metal strip, indicating it is blown.
5. Remove the Faulty Fuse
- Use the fuse puller (if provided) or a pair of tweezers to carefully remove the blown fuse.
6. Install the New Fuse
- Match the amperage rating of the replacement fuse with the blown fuse. Insert the new fuse into the same slot.
7. Test the Circuit
- Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and turn on the car to check if the component is functioning properly.
8. Reassemble
- Replace the fuse box cover and ensure it is secured.
