Fuses and relays in the passenger compartment and in the engine compartment

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.

Troubleshooting sequence

Considering that there are many possible reasons for the failure to start the Kia Spectra engine, when troubleshooting a malfunction you should be guided by a single search algorithm. Only in this case a positive result can be achieved in the shortest possible time.

Sequencing:

• Check the residual voltage on the battery. If it is less than 10.5 volts, the battery should be recharged.
• Check all fuses. If there are burnt ones, change them. It is better to first study the fuse layout. In this case, you can control only those elements that are responsible for the power unit systems. This will reduce the verification time. You also need to check the relays to see if any of them are burnt or melted. The main relays responsible for starting: main, fuel pump, starter.

Just in case, you can move all the relays in the connector, the contact may be broken.

1. If the starter does not work, try to start it by applying voltage from the positive terminal of the battery to the contact of the solenoid relay (thin wire going to the starter). In this case, the manual transmission must be switched to neutral.
2. If the starter rotates the crankshaft, check the condition of the spark plugs. Spark plugs covered with soot, with a damaged electrode, or flooded, should be replaced. As a last resort, they can be cleaned and calcined. It is also necessary to check for spark on all cylinders. This can be done using a control candle.
3. Check the performance of the fuel pump. To do this, apply 12 volts to the fuse via the fuel pump power circuit. A characteristic sound should be heard in the rear seat area. You can check the flow of gasoline by disconnecting the fuel line (be sure to place an empty container at its outlet).
4. If previous measures have not brought results, computer diagnostics should be performed. Without it, further search occurs blindly. You can try to temporarily disable the mass air flow sensor, clean the damper, and inject “quick start”.

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.
