Checking Fuses

2001 Kia Sephia LS L4-1.8LSECTION Checking Fuses



CHECKING FUSES
A blade type fuse has test taps provided to allow checking of the fuse itself without removing it from the fuse block. The fuse is okay if the test lamp comes on when its one lead is connected to the test taps (one at a time) and the other lead is grounded. (Change the ignition switch position adequately so that the fuse circuit becomes live.)
