Thank you! Was staring at the fuse panel under the dash for 15 mins until i watched your video

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad you found it useful. You are very welcome.

[@musicismyrelease84]

you and me both! I've seen other videos that say if the fuse isn't bad under the dash then you need new sockets. my passenger front and middle were out.. because of this video they all work again!

[@rompolskis]

OMG....for the longest I could not understand why my 12V wasn't working. I followed this video to the tee and BAM!!!it now works. you just saved me time and money. Yep just subscribed..THANK YOU.. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

[@IEZ69]

This worked great. I have a 2019 elantra and was wondering why my passenger side port wasn't working especially since my car only has 4000 miles. Saved me from taking it in to the shop

[@VirarAutomotive]

So glad to hear this. Cheers!

[@musicismyrelease84]

bro I owe you a beer if we ever should meet. I'm pretty good with cars but didn't realize there was one fuse under the dash for the "cigarette lighter" and one under the hood for power outlet. my left front and middle 12v sockets haven't worked since I got my 2018. I've looked at many videos that never mention the power outlet fuse. I checked that amd sure enough it was blown. I replaced it with the extra fuses in the hood for box now all of them work! thank you so much for this video!

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you so much for your comment. It makes my day and motivates me to make more videos like these. I am based out of Toronto, Canada. If you are ever here, send me a DM on Facebook or Instagram @virarautomotive. Drive safe 😃

[@LokiMingus]

Thank you so much! I had blown out both fuses trying an air fryer with a 400w inverter (I know dumb move) and never changed the fuses - cut to now where I’m boondocking and one of my tires has a slow-fast-leak (lol), so I bought a heavy duty inflator from Walmart in hopes I could use my 300w power station to fill up my tire…of course it did not work 🤦🏻‍♂️ now I’m stuck at a car wash place, spinning figuring out what am I going to do, I KZbind it and found your video which was extremely helpful even for my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. I found a spare fuse and filled up my tire. It may not seem like much to others, but for someone not mechanically inclined at all or know much about vehicle fuses, I had no idea my car had spares. So, thank you kindly for posting this.

For 2017 Sonata, I have heard a lot of complaints about usb charging port does not have enough power to charge iphone. Can we use cigarette port with an adapter to charge phones?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Yup. You can do that. That is what I do. You can get one like this. It's powerful enough to charge phones quickly. Anker 24W Dual USB Car Charger, PowerDrive 2 www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH84L5E/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_-ck6EbAS48EJC

[@yoshiman76]

hello, can this same problem be used to fix the center console not turning on at all?? Heat and everything works except the power to the radio/screen and the outlets

[@VirarAutomotive]

It could be. Changing the fuse is the quickest way to check and fix for the problem

[@ReavenM1911A1]

Does the 2007 Elantra have a fuse box like in the video? What about replacement fuses withe the vehicle

[@VirarAutomotive]

Not sure about the 2007 Elantra. It should have a fuse box though like the one showed in this video. They don't change that much. Having never worked on a 2007 Elantra, I couldn't say with confidence. Sorry.

[@rmnchahal6903]

Hi my elantra 2017 cigrate fuse is ok but i have checked with tester pen there is no current on board under cigrete fuse. Please help.

[@VirarAutomotive]

You only get current in there when the key is on ACC or ON. I suggest you make sure the car key is in ACC or ON position and then try again. If that doesn't work then the port itself is faulty and needs to be replaced.

[@billbooth6172]

Thanks but what blows rhe fuses in so many vehicles?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sometimes just plugging in a powerful device that takes a lot of power. Once a friend of mine used a 12V to 110V wall outlet adapter and tried using his 1500W tea kettle during camping and was surprised that it blew the fuse. haha.

[@user-uz8cg8hc6f]

I own a similar one, but with a diesel engine. I imported it from South Korea to Saudi Arabia

[@MrSpeedo804]

I have a 2017 Santa Fe Sport. Neither of the cigarette sockets have power. Is it possible that both Fuses are bad? Only 25,000 miles on car. Is the Fuse the only problem it could be?

[@VirarAutomotive]

I would check out the fuses. It could just be a case of bad fuses. Are you sure you didn't plug in something too powerful into those outlets ?

[@kelceynicole]

Hi I have a Hyundai Elantra 2013. my USB part doesn’t work anymore and the radio doesn’t light up, but it still works. I am curious to know which fuse is it for my car for the USB port/what is the name of it?? My car unfortunately didn’t come with a manual because it was used when I brought it. I’m desperate bc I normally listen to music from my phone😩I’m really hoping it’s not a wiring issue.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Hi, I am not sure which fuse it is for the USB port specifically. Often for these cars the solution for the problem with the USB port/aux input is to replace the part. The part itself isn't too expensive and there are videos on KZbin that show you how to replace it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :(

[@kelceynicole]

@@VirarAutomotive thank you! I will definitely check it out. you were helpful!

[@shakeelss786]

Please can you guide me for Sonata 2020

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sorry. I have never worked on a 2020 Sonata before, wouldn't do how to do this same fix on that car.

[@Park_08]

Does the Elantra use mini fuses?

[@VirarAutomotive]

It looked like standard size fuses, not mini fuses. If you blow a fuse, the car does have spare fuses in it to get you by till you can buy replacement fuses.

[@juliodg2139]

Hello friend, I changed the fuses of the two power cigarettes and they broke again, do you have any idea why that happens?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Hello. 2 things come to my end. 1) Wiring issue 2) you are plugging something too powerful (more than the outlet's capacity ) and that's causing the fuses to blow again.

[@juliodg2139]

Thanks bro, today I put new fuses and a new cable to charge the phone and the problem continues, I only have the phone charger connected, I think I will take the car to the dealer before the warranty expires, thanks again

[@VirarAutomotive]

I think that's a good idea. Make use of the warranty Julio! Good luck!

[@happyraikoti4904]

I change but still didn't work of driver site what should I do please help ?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Try switching the bulb from the passenger side to the driver side fuse and see if thst fixes it. Let me if that works.

[@cryptic_r1576]

How do I make the outlet socket continuously run?

[@VirarAutomotive]

That involves doing some rewiring. Not sure how to do it. Sorry :(

[@kalebsermons3083]

How do I keep it on while car is off?

[@VirarAutomotive]

That involves rewiring the connections .

[@junebug346]

I checked the fuse on my car and it’s good. I changed the sockets to junkyard ones and wiring harness for it and it’s still the same. Any ideas? Thanks

[@VirarAutomotive]

Ohh, if the fuse replacement didn't't work then I was going to suggest the outlet but you have already swapped that. Not sure at this point what could be the issue. Sorry :(

[@asiacarr6998]

​​@@VirarAutomotive hey I was going to ask how would you change the outlet because I changed the fuse to a brand new and it started working for a day and then just stopped working so I dont think its the fuses anymore. Something but I don't know what or how to check for it.

[@VirarAutomotive]

1) Was there something in particular that you plugged in the power outlet that might have caused it to blow ? Something higher powered? Did both the outlets stop working ? Just trying to see if you can maybe diagnose the issue without having to replace the outlet. I don't have a video on how to replace the outlet and I don't have access to this car anymore either to make a video on it. :(

[@asiacarr6998]

@@VirarAutomotive Gotcha. Well yeah both of them don't work although I only got a new fuse for one of them.

The back lights are brown from being burnt from the lights that were installed by Hyundai. I assumed the 12v was an electrical problem. I've seen so many comments of peyote saying the same about their cars.

Mine is going on and off like it’s a shortage??

Maybe try the other outlet and see if its the same issue, then the issue is with the 12V Adapter or the charging cable itself.

If this didn't work, then unfortunately it could be something else that's wrong with the outlet itself. The blown fuse is the most common issue and it usually solves the problem.
