The Kia Sportage is a line of compact crossover SUVs produced by South Korean manufacturer Kia since 1993. In this article, we provide a detailed overview of the fuse box diagrams and relay panel locations for the second-generation Kia Sportage (JE chassis; model years 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010).
Below you will find the locations and diagrams for the power distribution boxes. Fuses for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” are highlighted in bold.
In the engine compartment
Depending on the engine equipped in the vehicle (gasoline or diesel), there may be one or two fuse boxes located here.
