Where is the cigarette lighter fuse on a Kia Spectrum?

Fuse box in the passenger compartment

Compared to the engine module, the interior inserts are located in a compact panel on the right, lower part of the tidy. The photo above shows the cover of the mounting block on a car from 2006 to 2008.

Fuses for the machine's auxiliary systems, which are not directly related to engine operation, are installed here.
Most of the elements do not affect the behavior and driving characteristics of the vehicle at all.

Kia Spectra fuses

The Kia Spectra is a compact car produced by Kia Motors between 2000 and 2009.

In this vehicle, the electrical system ties everything together, including the engine controller, power windows, interior/exterior lighting, audio-visual system and alarm.

The many electronics in a car carry a lot of potential for error. If a certain mechanism does not work in a vehicle, it is not necessarily due to a technical defect. It is possible that only one fuse is faulty. This article will tell you how to recognize faulty elements and, if necessary, replace them.

How it works

Fuse boxes are essentially concentrators that distribute electricity. A fuse performs a very important function in an electrical circuit as it protects the system from damage, overload or short circuit. In a circuit, the weakest component is often destroyed first. After that it turns off. This weak component should usually be a fuse.

If we consider the operation of fuses using brake lights as an example, the following sequence of actions should be highlighted. Under normal conditions, fuses pass electricity from the battery to the switch, which, when pressed, sends that voltage to the light bulbs.

Color is important

An important parameter of a car fuse is the maximum current it can withstand before it blows. To quickly determine the maximum intensity for each of them, the corresponding colors shown in the table are suggested:

Most fuses, despite being color coded, have a transparent body. This helps diagnose parts and identify faulty circuits faster and easier.

Where is the fuse box

In the Kia Spectra, the safety block is sometimes indicated by a pictogram. The location of the fuse box may vary depending on the year and model of the machine. Basically, they have two fuse panels.

The engine compartment contains fuses for items such as the cooling fans, anti-lock brake pump, and engine control module.

The other is in the cabin in the dashboard, containing fuses for devices and switches located in the cabin.

But before you start desperately searching for where the blocks are, it's worth taking a look at the magic book called the Operating Instructions. Loosen the cover and you can immediately see the fuses for each electrical system in the Kia Spectra.

What to do if your car fuse has blown again

If the fuse blows again after replacing and reconnecting the car battery, the problem may be with the wiring harness or terminal. In this case, you should contact professionals at the service station.

Under no circumstances should additional fuses be installed at this stage without a more detailed error analysis. First of all, a problem with the electronic system should be investigated by a specialist. If all fuses are good, there may be an error in the terminal.

Spare fuses can be purchased for about 2,500 rubles at some gas stations, car dealerships and well-stocked specialty stores. It is recommended to purchase the entire kit directly because sometimes it is not known in advance which fuse needs to be replaced.

To summarize all of the above, it should be noted that for stable operation of the entire car, you should constantly maintain and monitor its main components. At the first hint of failure, even as it may seem at first glance, such an insignificant part as a fuse, replace it in a timely manner.

Block under the hood

This part is much more complicated.
The photo above shows how the inserts and relays responsible for the main equipment of the car are mounted. Most of the elements, if they fail, completely block the operation of the machine and disrupt the normal functioning of important systems. Further diagrams with descriptions in Russian are given using the example of a 2007 car in the maximum configuration.

Kia Spectra fuse diagram

Above is the installer installed under the hood of the car. There are a number of elements present here.

You should also clarify the situation with the relay.

Next, you should consider the small fuse panel inside the car.

Below the main unit there is also a small relay module.

Spectra turn signal fuse and relay: where is it located?

Installed in the cabin under numbers 1. When replacing parts, there is no need to look for the correct part number. The machine uses standard plug inserts and a five-pin relay; the price on the market fluctuates around 50 rubles.

Cigarette lighter relay and fuse

In the standard wiring, insert No. 8 of the interior module is responsible for powering the outlet. Some drivers prefer to install an additional unit in the rear seats or inside the luggage compartment. It is unreasonable to connect two devices to one line. A separate wire is pulled from the battery and the device is attached to it. Here you will have to ask the owner to show where exactly the protective element is hidden.

Gasoline pump

The fuel pump power supply is controlled through inserts 27 installed under the hood. For 2009 inclusive, the corresponding relay was mounted at position 52.

Heater relay and fuse

On a 2009 car it is installed under the hood at position 10, the required relay is mounted next to it - at number 61.

Window lifters

The right and left sides of the main are powered by fuses 17/18. There is one relay - No. 60.

Low and high beam

Powerful inserts are used to allow both sides of the headlights to be pulled simultaneously. Here it is No. 36/37 for the near and far operating modes of the optics.

Instrument lighting

Connected to fuse 2 installed in the car interior.

Washer

The windshield wiper insert is the same element. The increased power of the element is enough to cover the rating of two highways at the same time.

The insert is mounted at position 6 in the car interior. An auxiliary relay for the motor in the tank and the gear motor is installed near the instruments.

Kia Spectra wiper fuse and relay: where is it located?

The information is listed above.

Where is the starter relay located?

The power unit is installed in the engine compartment at position 62. This allows you to quickly replace a damaged device. Otherwise, the design of the module differs little from common analogues. The retractor is mounted in the housing and replacing it will require complete disassembly of the entire assembly.

Generator regulator relay

Located inside the generator. The layout of the device on other cars of the manufacturer is similar.

Charging relay

The regulator is installed by the manufacturer close to the battery. The device is simple but effective. You can recognize it by its appearance - a small black box installed between the generator and the battery.

Reverse

The lamp is protected by a remote element. To gain access, you will need to remove the plastic lining of the gearshift lever panel. This is where the insert will be mounted.

Heated rear window

The tenna fuse is installed at position 39. The power line switch is mounted in the engine compartment at number 65.

Kia Spectra brake light: where is it located?

They are switched on through insert 11 of the interior panel.

Horn fuse and relay

Compatible with the horn device and located at number 38 in the engine compartment. The corresponding relay No. 55 is also installed nearby. In the standard wiring, when the alarm is turned on, the emergency lights also light up.

Interior lighting

There is only one light in the car. The lamp is low-power and does not require a relay. The design contains fuse No. 20.

Radio tape recorder

For the standard audio system, there is one insert No. 7 installed in the cabin. When installing more efficient acoustics, users often transfer the element to a separately routed line.

central locking

The power element is installed at number 14 in the main block. The button relay is mounted inside the cabin at position 2. It is not clear what the engineers were guided by with such an arrangement.

Speedometer

Protection systems are installed under the dashboard. To gain access to the parts, you will need to remove the shield and reach under it. The necessary equipment will be installed there.

Air conditioner

The manufacturer does not provide clear instructions on where the elements responsible for a specific area of ​​the device are located. The design has 3 fuses - 8, 11 and 29. There are also two relays: 54, 64.

Watch

Power is supplied through an element installed under the tidy. To access the device, remove the dial along with the shield and find the insertion in the power wire.

Reverse speed

The signaling device is connected to the scenes via a special sensor. To gain access to the device, it is necessary to remove the lining of the box. The element will be installed under it.

Ignition

The coil fuse is installed in the engine compartment at position 22.

Dashboard

Controllers and lighting are organized through insert 2 installed under the dashboard.

Kia Spectra: cooling fan relay

The main airflow is protected by fuse 7, and the power lines are turned on by relay 63. Both inserts are installed under the hood of the car.

Fog light fuse

The rear PTFs are powered from No. 32. The front module is connected through fuse element 33. Relay 3 is responsible for turning on the power lines of both units.

Dimensions

The machine is equipped with automatic switches. Inserts 31 and 12 are responsible for turning the lighting on/off. Both elements are separated into separate blocks. The operation of the dimensions on the right and left sides is controlled by inserts 34 and 35.

Kia Spectra: ABS fuse

Insert 2 under the hood is responsible for the operation of the sensors. The control unit is protected by element 15, and the low-voltage sections of the electronics are routed from element 4, mounted in the cabin.

Good afternoon. In my opinion, the valve on the return line of the fuel filter should be open when the engine and fuel are cold. But as the fuel warms up, this valve will shut off the return flow to the filter and the fuel will go into the tank - accordingly, there will be no overheating! And in this case there is no heating in winter!

Thank you, it’s interesting to see. It’s a pity that you don’t have HDI (I would listen with pleasure) I’ll add on my own - the turning radius is too big, I sit low, the brakes are ordinary, with electronics tx,.tx, but I agree with all the positive reviews!

Hello! I also won't start. Gasoline sprays, there is a spark but it does not start.

Wener

You kind of made it look more complicated that it actually is.. In fact, it doesn't matter in which position the key is, all you need is power to the window.

Also, it doesn't matter how you are moving the window while pulling the fuse : automatic, manual, up or down, all will work.

You NEED NOT to wait 30 seconds, don't wait at all, just turn off the ignition, put the fuse back on, lower the window in automatic - mine works lowered in automatic so not sure what year is your car and why it doesn't 't work on your car, have you tried it? Again, just lower in automatic then it's good to go. Hope this helps, because often times these procedures are reproduced from other users with extra steps that are not actually needed. Let's keep it simple (or shall I say the simplest)
