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 dealer.
If you do not have a spare fuse, you may be
able to borrow a fuse of the same or lower
rating from an accessory you can tempo-
rarily get along without (the radio or cigarette
lighter, for example). Always remember to
replace the borrowed fuse.

GoodOpen-Replace
G200B02HP-AATReplacing Accessory FusesThe 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.
If any of your car's lights or other electrical
accessories stop working, a blown (open) fuse
could be the reason. If the fuse has opened, you
will see that the metal strip inside the fuse has
melted through. If you suspect a blown fuse,
follow this procedure:
HSM4002
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
relay and fuse box of the engine room to
simplify this operation).
3. Be sure to check all other fuses, even if you
find one that appears to have opened.
