For anybody who has a Sonata with a rear port, the fuse for the rear port is under the hood. (There's two, should be the one on the outside, or to the left looking at the fuse box from the side)

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you for your comment

[@AC-lt7xf]

Thanks for the vid. How do you convert the outlet to work constantly?

[@VirarAutomotive]

You mean to make the outlet work even when the car is switched off ? I do not know how to do that. It would most likely include some rewiring.

[@user-hs6rk4hf4i]

ألف شكر لك

[@ricfnts]

I replaced the center console fuse yesterday and yes the fuse was broken, but it is still is not working. However, after watching your video today I now know there is a passenger side one as well, gonna try that one! (Anyone have ideas for why my center console 12v is still not working?)

[@andymiller1707]

Thanks it help to fix my car

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad you found it useful!

[@RodolfoRk]

do you know how to change the fuse for usb port under that cigarette lighter in the middle?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Not sure which fuse is for the USB port. Sometimes that Aux/USB port unit itself just goes bad and has to be replaced.

[@dennisolaguer7696]

This is switching out the fuse but not really fixing it. What if the problem is not the fuse but the outlet itself?

[@VirarAutomotive]

For the most part its the fuse that blows to protect the outlet. So by replacing the fuse it fixes the problem. In the uncommon instance that something went wrong with the outlet itself, I am afraid your best bet then is to just replace the outlet. But give this is a try, it takes 5 mins and 50 cents this method, as opposed to going the outlet replacement way. Cheers :)

[@faisalsaleh5252]

What about the ipod usb fuse the cigarette is working but the usb donwn is not

[@VirarAutomotive]

Usually when those go bad, the solution to fix it is just to replace the part. That is a common failure problem. There could be a fuse to just replace but I am not aware where it is.

[@chibli235]

Do we just throw the old fuses away? And what if there isn’t any spare/the last owners used the spare fuses? And does the car need to off when doing this?

[@VirarAutomotive]

The car needs to be off when you are this. You can throw the old fuses away in trash. If there are no spare fuses you can always buy replacement ones from your local auto parts store. You can buy a variety pack of 10-15 fuses for ~$15 or so.

[@chibli235]

Virar Automotive thank you so much!!!

[@crimsonboy1999]

Which one is the radio fuse

[@VirarAutomotive]

Not really sure because I don't have the car in front of me right now, but I would guess it would be multimedia 1/2. Try it out. Take them out one at a time and see what happens.

[@invadertaylor]

I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra. I changed out the passenger side cigarette lighter fuse (15A I believe) but the lighter isn't working still. What's going on?

[@VirarAutomotive]

That fuse fix is the most common problem for the lighter fix. If it's still not working for you maybe the power outlet itself may have some issue. Try taking out the fuse (the new one that you put in) and see if it's good. If not, then there maybe some other issue that's causing fuses to repeatedly blow. Also the power outlet can only handle upto 180W,plugging in anything more than that will cause the fuse to blow

[@parkerbohnn]

The cigarette lighter is the 20 amp fuse not the 15 amp fuse. The cigarette lighter will always be closest to the driver so the cigarette lighter is the left one and the power outlet is the right one. You replaced the wrong fuse.

[@VirarAutomotive]

IF you watch the entire video you will notice that I do explain how to fix them both. 01:24 Power Outlet / Right Side One / Closest to the Passenger (15 AMP fuse) 01:57 Cigarette lighter / Left One / Closest to the driver (20 AMP fuse)

[@lizbethalaniz7352]

My USB doesn’t work which fuse would it be ??

[@VirarAutomotive]

Usually for the USB port it's not the fuse, but the entire USB / Aux Port part itself that has to be replaced

The cigarette lighter will always be closest to the driver so the cigarette lighter is the left one (20amp fuse) and the power outlet is on the right side (15amp fuse). Not explained in the video unfortunately.

[@Lexo593]

What about the rear power outlet? Which fuse is that, is it the front of the car or by the passanger seat?

[@VirarAutomotive]

I am sorry, my car doesn't even have a rear power outlet. So no idea how to fix that.

[@christianwilliams6847]

Where are you looking. ??????? You started pulling fuses from a random place..... you didn't even show where that is located

[@VirarAutomotive]

Right at 1:24 you see the fuse panel cover that I pulled out? The fuse panel is right there behind it. I see how the camera is zoomed in right at the fuses and may cause some confusion.

[@cicibabiie]

You didn't even show us if it was working or not lol #fail

[@VirarAutomotive]

If you watch the complete video, you will notice that when I take the fuse off, the blue light on the USB adapter goes off and when I put the fuse back in, the light comes back on. IF you would have taken 30 seconds more and watched the video instead of commenting here, you would have noticed that it. #watchtheentirevideo

[@dandelion8166]

Sir, quick question. What about the usb thing right under the cigarette lighter? I put a cord there but it''s not charging my phone. Also, thank you so much for your help :)

[@VirarAutomotive]

Hello, Unfortunately I don't know if there is a quick fuse replacement for that issue and that issue is pretty common on this vehicle model..the way fix it is just replace the part. The USB and aux Input is sold as a single replacement party and just gets replaced. Sorry but I couldn't be of more help. :(

[@dandelion8166]

@@VirarAutomotive wow, thank you so much for your prompt response! What should I type on google to buy those? Are they expensive?

[@VirarAutomotive]

www.amazon.ca/Genuine-Hyundai-96120-3X000-Jack-Assembly/dp/B00EPY93J6 This should work. This is the Amazon Canada link I found.

[@dandelion8166]

@@VirarAutomotive Wow! I really appreciate your help... 1) So in order to fix the cord not charging when plugged into usb, I need to buy that piece from Amazon, right? 2) There is no such thing as fuse changing for this usb, like the cigarette lights? 3) If so, are there cheaper options than that link?
