CHECKING AND REPLACING
FUSES

Replacing a Fusible Link

Bad
A fusible link will melt if the electrical circuits
from the battery are ever overloaded, thus pre-
venting damage to the entire wiring harness.
(This could be caused by a short in the system
drawing too much current.) If this ever happens,
have a Hyundai dealer determine the cause,
repair the system and replace the fusible link.
The fusible links are located in a relay box for
easy inspection.
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never use
anything but a new fusible link with the
same or lower amperage rating. Never use a
piece of wire or a higher-rated fusible link.
This could result in serious damage and
create a fire hazard.

Replacing Accessory Fuse

Good
The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
G200A01Y
accessories will be found low on the dashboard
on the driver's side. Inside the box you will find a
list showing the circuits protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown fuse could
be the reason. If the fuse has burned out, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
burned through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.
2. Open the fuse box and examine each fuse.
Remove each fuse by pulling it toward you
(a small "fuse puller" tool is contained in the
fuse box to simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses even if you
G200B01Y
find one that appears to have burned out.
4. Replace the blown fuse by pressing a new
fuse of the same rating into place. The fuse
should be a snug fit. If it is not, have the fuse
clip repaired or replaced by a Hyundai
dealer. If you do not have a spare fuse, you
may be able to borrow a fuse of the same or
lower rating from an accessory you can
temporarily get along without (the radio or
cigarette lighter, for example). Always re-
member to replace the borrowed fuse.
