Checking and replacing fuses (Hyundai Getz 1)

Replacing the fuse link

In the event of an overload of the electrical circuit (which can be caused by a short circuit and a strong increase in current), the fuse link will burn out, thereby preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. If this happens, take your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealer to determine the cause, repair the system, or replace the fuse link. To make them easier to check, the fuse links are located in the relay box.

Caution: When replacing the fuse link, use only a new fuse link with the same or lower rated current. Do not use a wire or fuse link with a higher rated current. This may cause serious damage and cause a fire.

Replacing fuses for electrical circuits of additional equipment

The fuse box protecting the lighting circuits and other electrical equipment is located under the instrument panel opposite the driver's seat. Inside the box you will find a table of the protected circuits.



If any of your car's lights or electrical components have stopped working, a blown fuse may be the cause. If a fuse is blown, you will see that the metal strip inside the fuse is broken. If you think the fuse is blown, do the following:

1. Turn off the ignition and all other switches.

2. Open the fuse box and check the integrity of each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it towards you (there is a special puller in the fuse box to simplify this operation).

3. Even if you find a blown fuse, check all the others.



4. Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same rating. The fuse must be firmly inserted. If this is not possible, take your vehicle to an authorized HYUNDAI dealer to have the fuse retainer replaced or repaired. If you do not have a spare fuse, you can temporarily install a fuse of the same rating by removing it from the circuit of equipment that you can temporarily do without (for example, the fuse protecting the radio or cigarette lighter circuits). Do not forget to reinsert the removed fuse.

Caution: A blown fuse indicates a malfunction in the electrical circuit. If a recently installed fuse blows again after a short time, contact an authorized Hyundai dealer to determine the cause of the malfunction and repair it. Never install a fuse with a rated current greater than the specifications, or any substitute fuses. This may cause the wiring to overheat and cause a fire,
