The third-generation crossover was unveiled at the 2012 New York International Auto Show. Two variants were offered: the 5-seat Sport model with 2.4-liter naturally aspirated and 2.0-liter turbocharged engines, and the long-wheelbase 7-seat Santa Fe (replacing the ix55) powered by a 3.3-liter V6 engine. Sales began in mid-2012. This article provides detailed fuse box diagrams and relay assignments for the Hyundai Santa Fe (chassis code DM) for model years 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
Below you will find fuse box locations, photo guides, and circuit diagrams. Fuses for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” are highlighted in bold.
Engine Compartment
