The fuse box for the lights and other electrical
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.
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.

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
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 deal-

FUSES
Replacing a Fusible Link
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.
