The Stinger is a grand touring liftback manufactured by Kia. The initial concept, designated the Kia GT, was presented at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Three years later, the Kia GT4 Stinger concept was showcased at the Detroit Auto Show, followed by the official premiere of the production model there in 2017. This article provides comprehensive fuse box diagrams and circuit assignments for the first-generation Kia Stinger (CK chassis, model years 2017–2023).
Here you will find the locations, diagrams, and photographic references for the power distribution centers. Fuses assigned to the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” circuits are highlighted in bold.
