Replacing the fusible link
Pic. 1.226. Safety box cover
In the event of an overload in the electrical circuit, the fusible link will burn out, thereby preventing damage to the entire wiring harness. (This may be caused by a short circuit or too much current). To facilitate their testing, the fusible links are located in the relay box (pic. 1.226).
Attention! When replacing a fuse link, use only a new fuse link with the same or lower current rating. Do not use a wire or fusible link with a higher current rating. This could cause serious damage and cause a fire.
Replacing fuse links in auxiliary equipment circuits

The fuse box that protects lighting circuits and other electrical equipment is located under the instrument panel opposite the driver's seat (pic. 1.227).
Pic. 1.228. An example of a good and blown fuse
Inside the block is a table of protected circuits. If any of the vehicle's bulbs or electrical equipment has stopped working, a blown fuse may be the cause. If a fuse is blown, the metal strip inside the fuse will break off (pic. 1.228).
To replace the fuse, turn off the ignition and all other switches.
Open the fuse box and check the integrity of each fuse. Remove each fuse by pulling it towards you (to simplify this operation, there is a special puller in the fuse box).
Replace the blown fuse with a new one with the same current rating. The fuse must be firmly inserted. If a spare fuse is not available, it is possible to temporarily install a fuse with the same current rating by removing it from the equipment circuit, which can be temporarily dispensed with (for example, a fuse that protects the radio or cigarette lighter circuits). Don't forget to put the removed fuse back in.
Attention! A blown fuse indicates a fault in the electrical circuit. If a recently installed fuse blows again after a short time, you should contact an authorized Hyundai dealer to identify the cause of the malfunction and eliminate it. Never install a fuse with a higher current rating than the specification or any substitute fuses. This may cause the wiring to overheat and cause a fire.
Power connector
Pic. 1.229. Power connector
The car is equipped with a power connector, which is designed to prevent the battery from discharging during a long car park (pic. 1.229).
Turn off the engine.
Turn off your car's exterior lights.
Open the fuse panel located under the instrument panel on the driver's side and disconnect the power connector.
Connection is made in the reverse order.
Note. If the power connector is disconnected, the burglar alarm, audio system, electronic clock, interior lighting lamps, etc. will not work. After connecting the power connector, you need to configure:
- electronic clock;
- trip computer;
- climate control;
- audio systems.
