Kia Sportage Fuse Box Diagram

After isolating the circuit, I came across that your body shop had eliminated the courtesy lamp for the trunk hatch since it was remaining on. Since it turns out, the body store got the hatch striker set up upside down that was not permitting the trap to close. Once I correctly installed the striker, I had it fixed.

A respected contributor to the nagging issue is sulfuric acid fumes from the battery pack. Lead acid batteries emit slight levels of acid fumes while charging always. There is a little street draft vent tube behind the electric battery that extracts the fumes as the car usually is moving. If your charger must utilize a battery with the battery in place, make sure to employ a "clever" charger (categorized as an Electric battery Maintainer) that cycles on / off as the electric battery is billed, and will turn off if the electric battery fails. A straightforward trickle charger will overcharge the electric battery when the electric battery gets old, and cells fail specifically. This qualified prospects to a lot more acid fumes and will boil the electric battery to ensure that acid comes out "wet" and ruins the carpet.

Another, much more serious indicator of a pressing issue with the fuse box is burned fuses or terminals. The terminals or the plastic which makes up the casing might become burned or melted, which will need the panel to end up change, and in some instances rewired even.

Probably the most disturbing sights for a DeLorean owner is a fuse package with a number of the fuse positions melted and crispy-looking, with the fuse itself deformed and bubbly, as proven below. That's an extreme case, but remember that the 20A fuse three spaces below the melted you have begun to soften and is somewhat out of alignment.
