- The actual fuse/relay panel label may differ from the equipped items.
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, 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 melt. If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates 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, cartridge 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.
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.
NOTICE
- When replacing a fuse, turn the ignition ‘OFF’ and turn off switches of all electrical devices then remove battery (-) terminal.
- Window tinting precaution
Window tint (especially metallic film) might cause communication disorder or poor radio reception, and malfunction of the automatic lighting system due to excessive change of illumination inside the vehicle. The solution used might also flow into electric, electronic devices causing disorder and failure. - Window tinting precaution

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 terminals fastened with bolts or nuts. The fuses, relays and terminals may be fastened incompletely, and it may cause a possible fire. If fuses, relays and terminals 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 damage 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 aftermarket 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 taillamp 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 performed by authorized Kia dealerships using approved Kia parts. Using other wiring components, especially when retrofitting multimedia or theft alarm system, 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 responsible for any subsequent vehicle damage which may result.
Inner panel fuse replacement
- Turn the ignition switch or ENGINE START/STOP button and all other switches off.
- Open the fuse panel cover.
- Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided in the main fuse box in the engine compartment.
- Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown. Spare fuses are provided in the instrument panel fuse panel (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 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 cigarette lighter fuse. If the headlamps or taillamps, stoplights, courtesy lamp, day time running lights (DRL) do not work and the fuses are OK, consult an authorized Kia dealer.
Engine compartment fuse replacement
- Turn the ignition 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 authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
After checking the fuse panel in the engine compartment, securely install the fuse panel cover through the audible clicking sound. If not, electrical failures may occur from water contact.
NOTICE
If the multi fuse is blown, consult an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
The electronic system may not function correctly even when the engine room and internal fuse box’s individual fuses are not disconnected. In such case 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, visit the nearest authorized Kia dealer.
Main fuse (Multi fuse)
- Turn off the engine.
- 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.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery cap for secure closing. If the battery cap is not securely latched, the electrical system may be damaged to due influx of moisture into the system.
Fuse/relay panel description
Inside the fuse/relay panel covers, you can find the fuse/relay label describing fuse/relay name and capacity.
NOTICE
Not all fuse panel descriptions in this manual may be applicable to your vehicle. It is accurate at the time of printing. When you inspect the fuse panel in your vehicle, refer to the fuse panel label.

How to Replace the Fuses of the 2025 Kia Sportage
Replacing the fuses in your 2025 Kia Sportage 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 Boxes
- The 2025 Kia Sportage typically has two fuse boxes:
- Interior Fuse Box: Found on the driver’s side, under the dashboard.
- Engine Bay Fuse Box: Found under the hood, near the battery.
2. Identify the Blown Fuse
- Use the fuse diagram located on the fuse box cover or in the owner’s manual to find the fuse corresponding to the malfunctioning system.
- Check the fuse visually:
- A blown fuse will have a broken metal filament inside or appear discolored.
3. Turn Off the Vehicle
- Switch off the engine and remove the key from the ignition to ensure safety.
4. Remove the Fuse
- Use the fuse puller (usually provided in the fuse box) or a pair of needle-nose pliers to gently remove the fuse.
- Be careful not to damage neighboring fuses or terminals.
5. Match the Replacement Fuse
- Replace the blown fuse with one of the same amperage rating (printed on the fuse or in the fuse box diagram).
- Using a fuse with the wrong amperage can cause electrical issues or damage.
6. Install the New Fuse
- Insert the replacement fuse into the correct slot until it fits securely.
7. Test the System
- Start the vehicle and test the system associated with the replaced fuse to ensure it’s functioning properly.
8. Close the Fuse Box
- Securely reattach the fuse box cover to protect it from moisture and dust.
Tips:
- Always use a fuse with the correct amperage rating to prevent electrical issues or damage to the vehicle.
