Kia Stinger 2022 Fuses User Guide
The Kia Stinger 2022 is equipped with a complex electrical system that is safeguarded by fuses positioned throughout the car. Fuses are designed to protect the electrical components from damage caused by a power surge or short circuit. When an electrical problem arises, the corresponding fuse may blow, preventing further damage to the system. The Stinger 2022 has two fuse boxes, one located in the engine compartment and the other in the passenger compartment. The engine compartment fuse box includes high-current fuses that safeguard the main electrical systems, while the passenger compartment fuse box includes low-current fuses that protect the secondary electrical systems. The owner’s manual provides a detailed diagram of the fuse box layout, as well as a list of the fuses and their ratings, indicating the function and location of each fuse. It is vital to use the correct fuse rating when replacing a blown fuse, as using a fuse with a higher rating can cause damage to the electrical system or even lead to a fire. To replace a blown fuse, pull it out with a fuse puller tool and insert a new fuse of the same rating. It is suggested to keep spare fuses in the car at all times to ensure prompt replacement of any blown fuses. If replacing a fuse does not fix the electrical issue, it may be necessary to consult a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the problem. Never bypass a blown fuse or use a fuse with a higher rating than recommended, as it can cause severe damage to the electrical system and pose a safety risk.
Fuses
Blade type / Cartridge type / Multi fuse / Fusible link
- Left side : Normal , Right side :
Blown
A vehicles electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses.
This vehicle has 4 (or 5) fuse panels, one located in the drivers side panel bolster, the other in the engine compartment near the battery.
If any of your vehicles 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 drivers side fuse panel.
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 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 dam-age 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 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 replacements fuses and relays are securely fastened when installed. Failure to do so can result in a vehicle fire.
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.
- Do not remove fuses, relays and terminals fastened with bolts or nuts. The fuses, relays and terminals may not be fastened correctly which may cause vehicle damage.
CAUTION
- Do not input any other objects except fuses or relays into fuse/ relay terminals such as a driver 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 taillight or replace the bulb which is over the regulated capacity to install trailers etc., the inner junction block can get burned.
CAUTION
Visually inspect the battery cap to ensure it is securely closed. If the battery cap is not securely closed, moisture may enter the system and damage the electrical components.
WARNING
Electrical wiring repairs
All electrical repairs should be per-formed by authorized Kia dealer-ships using approved Kia parts. Using other wiring components, especially when retrofitting AVN or theft alarm system, remote engine control, 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.
NOTICE
Window tinting precaution
Window tint (especially metallic film) might cause communication disorder or poor radio reception, and malfunction of the automatic light-ing system due to excessive change of illumination inside the vehicle. The solution used might also flow into electric, electronic devices causing disorder and failure.
- Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
- Open the fuse panel cover.
If the switch is located in the OFF position, a caution indicator will be displayed in the cluster. - Pull the suspected fuse straight out.
Use the removal tool provided on the engine compart-ment fuse panel cover.
- Check the removed fuse; replace it if it is blown.
Spare fuses are provided in the engine compartment fuse panel. - 5. 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, 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 malfunction even without any problem to the lamps, have the vehicle checked by an authorized Kia dealer for assistance.
Fuse switch
Always set the fuse switch to the ON position before using the vehicle.
If you move the switch to the OFF position, some items such as audio and digital clock must be reset and transmitter (or smart key) may not work properly. When the switch is Off, the caution indicator will be dis-played on the instrument cluster.
Always place the fuse switch in the ON position while driving the vehicle.
If the switch is located in the OFF position, a caution indicator will be displayed in the cluster.
CAUTION
