Location of fuses and relays Kia Spectra 2000-2011

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.

Security measures

Drivers independently monitor the condition of the protective elements. Make sure that the fuse box in the Kia Spectra interior is kept clean, since dust and moisture sharply reduce the performance of the device.

Maintenance and safety when working with fuses:

• Remove dirt and dust from the surface of the boards with compressed air or a cloth moistened with alcohol or gasoline. Inspect sockets and devices.
• If oxidation is detected, clean the contact points and elements with fine sandpaper. Inspect the power supply unit to see if there are any cracks or damage.
• In electrical wiring, temporary devices are not used and the contact is not closed directly. If a power surge occurs, the node for which the fuse is responsible will burn out.
• Use factory testers and screwdrivers with a plastic handle.
• Do not use devices with a higher rating.

In cars, components and assemblies are connected to each other. The operation of the engine, the comfort and safety of the crew depend on the “little things” - the fuse.

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.

Today the front burnt out. on the heater fan, set it to full speed, it burned out something. I opened my bookmarks and this topic came in handy - THANK YOU! I went for new ones because there was no such denomination in the spare ones, there was nothing in the socket. I bought a set, they weren’t available individually, and it turned out that they were a fake (the legs are thinner than the original ones, the previous one can be easily pulled out and inserted), I went to another store where the same thing happened, both in a set and individually. Be careful, such fuses will have poor contact, the terminals will get hot, especially on fuses with a large amperage. Photo from Drive2

Damn, what happened to your heater motor that it could burn a 30A fuse? Have you tried plugging in an ammeter instead of a fuse to check the current consumption? And yes, fuses are mostly sold in China))) It’s probably better to buy in electrical stores

With the windows/doors closed, I turned it on to the last level, the engine sank from the load as if the air conditioner was turned on, and the heater fan stopped spinning. I removed the resistance, the contacts were intact, I rebuilt the motor in the summer, soaked the felt in oil, the brushes were still good. I checked the previous one in the mounting block. it burned out, set it to 20A, the motor spins normally, but didn’t let it go to full again. I consulted with my brother, he is better versed in electrics, he was also surprised why there is 10A for the starter, and 30A for the heater motor “I also joked maybe there is a heating element for It’s worth the price”))! I’ll measure the current this evening.

10A to the starter is purely for closing the starter relay. The traction winding itself is connected directly to the battery without fuses. Otherwise, during a cold start, not a single fuse will withstand it))) Unless it’s just the kind in the bulb, like the ones they put on subwoofers at 200A)))

Definitely bookmarked) although it’s been 6 years without it, I seem to have found everything, but still)

Well, in 7 years, I also only had to replace the fuse for the fog lights once, and I understood from the English inscriptions where it was located. But it’s more beautiful this way)))

I agree, it’s more convenient)

Handsome! to bookmarks!)

Thank you, fellow countryman! So I understand this is a useful, sensible post! And not “washed the car, changed the light bulb”)

I always try to give useful information)))

I definitely bookmarked it and sent it straight away for printing. Thank you

The most useful article in the last six months. Bookmarks✓

Handsome!) I'll keep it for myself)

useful article) I was also thinking about sticking a diagram with a transcript

Thank you, otherwise I have to constantly search

Thanks for the work you've done! I saved it for myself.

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.

Removal and replacement process

Required tools:

• 7 mm socket head,
• thin material.
• Socket extension,
• Wrench 10 mm,
• slotted screwdriver,

Under the hood

The procedure is performed as follows:

1. Apply the parking brake, turn off the ignition, remove the terminal from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. Open the cover by pressing the latch on the air filter side.
3. Unscrew the nut on the left side of the fender and remove the terminal from the stud.
4. Press the latch and remove the part from the holder.
5. Remove the safety screw from the blue square leg and remove it.
6. Repeat step 5 with the remaining large blocks.
7. Disconnect the smaller units by pressing down on their handles with a screwdriver.
8. Move the wires to the side and remove the bracket by pressing the latches at the base with a screwdriver.
9. Reconnect the terminals and install the removed parts in reverse order.

In the cabin

To disassemble the main and auxiliary units, follow step #1 from the previous section:

1. Follow step #1 from the previous method.
2. Remove the lower dashboard trim by removing 3 screws: 2 to the right of the steering wheel (at the left corners of the trim) and 1 at the left end of the dashboard.
3. Remove the A-pillar cover: Remove the driver's door sill trim by prying it off with a screwdriver wrapped in a cloth.
4. Unscrew the piston located on the left driver's footrest.

How to remove the fuse box on a Kia Spectra

To quickly dismantle the module you will need to complete the procedure.

1. Disconnect battery power. This is necessary to avoid causing a short circuit.
2. Remove the mounting block cover.
3. Next you will need to disconnect all terminals visible on the surface.
4. Next, the plastic panel latches are snapped off and all the screws are unscrewed.
5. After this, you need to carefully pull the module towards you and disconnect the wire connectors connected to the back of the panel.
6. After this, the part is removed from the machine entirely.

Recommendations for use

A few recommendations regarding the operation of the device:

• Always use power supply elements only of the rating you need. If the part says 10 Amps, then it must be replaced with an identical one with the same rating. Otherwise, it will often fail.
• Do not use homemade fuses to avoid short circuits and even fire. You should always have a supply of power supply elements on hand so that if necessary, you can immediately change them.
• Do not allow moisture to enter the power supply unit installed under the hood. The entire system must be carefully sealed, and the power supply cover must fit snugly against the unit itself.

Compliance with these recommendations will help increase the service life of the device.

A little about the reasons for failure

Refusals are most often caused by two reasons:

• Fuse blown;
• Mechanical damage to the cigarette lighter contact group.

All electrical circuits are protected by fuses, which, in the event of a short circuit, burn out and prevent the wiring from igniting, and also protect other electrical and radio devices from damage. Therefore, when a cigarette lighter failure is detected, the first step is always to check fuse F8, which is located in the passenger compartment.

If you find a burnt-out device, before installing a working one, you need to try to find out the reason for its failure. Otherwise, the burnout will continue until the cause of the excess operating current is identified and eliminated. The fuse is rated for 15 A.

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.
