Kia Sportage: Inner panel fuse replacement
1.Turn the ignition switch and all other switches off.
2.Open the fuse panel cover.

3.Pull the suspected fuse straight out. Use the removal tool provided on the engine compartment fuse panel cover.
4.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 headlights 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.
