[@aaronharvey3974]

i've been thinking on this for a while and decided today to try and fix the issue with the left one and backseat one. Thanks for the sumple and quick video.

[@Hopmad]

Wow brother. I knew it was a simple fix and you won’t believe I just came back from an Hyundai dealership and not 1 but 2 mechanics both didn’t know that. They told me I had to replace the cigarette lighters for both the driver side and the second row. I didn’t believe them and left frustrated. Sure enough you proved my point. Thank you.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Ohh wow. Thank you for sharing. I am glad to hear that you found the video helpful!🙂

[@user-gu4ot5ds8h]

Dealership Mechanics can be like politicians sometimes. They will try to $crew people out of every penny they can..

[@javiergimenez5953]

Very good ! Thanks for your time, Now I will try. Does it better whit Engine off ?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Yeah always better to work on electrical stuff with the engine off.

[@themotherspassport4458]

omg okay watching this because my Santa Fe fuse won't charge, but with how informative this is i was hoping you would know... I TOOK my Hyundai in because the infamous "loading" screen is on my radio... yes it still works ut cant connect my phone, can't see what station i am on, or what temperature i have on the driver or passenger side is on... after taking it into the dealership they said it would be just under $6000 with $4000 in LABOR.... i took it home, after paying $125, got online saw it might be the CD player, took the whole radio out, disconnected the cd player. that still didn't work. i put the radio back in, and just said "ill buy a new one i guess" but of course, as i am sure with everyone else, the pandemic hit hard, and that's the least of my concerns right now... i saw somewhere that a new fuse might help? is this true? PLEASE HELP a single mom get to know what station is on while driving her son to school.!!!

[@weiviloria8407]

Thanks

[@VirarAutomotive]

You are welcome!

[@tyronemedina1716]

Great video. By any chance do you have a video on how to troubleshoot & replace the usb/auxiliar porst on the 2017 santa fe?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Hi Tyrone. Unfortunately I don't. From what I have heard, usually the USB/aux is a single unit and the quickest way to fix is to just replace the entire part. Unfortunately I don't have access to a Santa fe right now to make a video on it. Sorry :(

[@tyronemedina1716]

Thanks much for your reply, I removed it and ordered the new part. Thanks again.

[@stavrostsikrikas4815]

Hey great video. Do you know where the fuse for the door handle welcome lights will be. Mine just stopped working. Thank you.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sorry, I don't. :(

[@simplysandraa_3071]

Would that fix the USB port as well? Mine keeps going in and out when charging

[@VirarAutomotive]

That may be a fuse issue or an issue with the actual USB port. If so, then you would need to get the actual USB port fixed.

[@randyjavierpenaloflorian1700]

Will this also work on santa fe 2012?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Not sure because it was a different body style. Should be minor differences in terms of fuse diagram, but largely it should be the same!

[@javiersandoval3662]

thanks pap hyundai santa fe 2013 work same

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad you found it useful!

[@BadgerTrax-bn1hl]

follow instructions. power out let worked then tried Cig lighter outlet and it did not work. Went back to power outlet and now it doesn't work. Bought brand new fuses and tried. Same result. Disconnected battery replaced fuses, reconnected battery and tried and got same result. Suggestions?

[@rubyscarborough2704]

Does this work on a 2010?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Similar idea but the position of the fuses will be likely different.

[@douglasmerriam]

PS I have a 2020 Santa Fe and it worked exactly the same, the fuse puller is located in the cover.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Ohh nice. Glad to know that the process hasn't changed much.

[@jpringle8981]

So if I use the spare fuses do I have to replace them or I can just leave the spare empty 🤔

[@VirarAutomotive]

You can leave the spare fuse slot empty for now, but I would advise getting the new spare fuses , you know never when you might need them in the future again for some other issue.

[@jpringle8981]

Ok thanks I'm going to try it and see what happens. I let u know if everything work out

[@VirarAutomotive]

Good luck!

[@jpringle8981]

Try it out today problem solved. It was the fuse. thanks again

[@VirarAutomotive]

@@jpringle8981 Glad to hear that. Thank you for sharing

[@massimoranalli3047]

2022 santa Cruz...my power outlet does not work...

[@VirarAutomotive]

Sorry I don't have access to the 2022 santa Cruz yet. :(

[@johnnycage9914]

What about the power plug outlet??

[@VirarAutomotive]

Which one? This video shows all the 4 outlets around the vehicle

[@msr-xj3rr]

Fixed. But next moment it's gone again. 😢

[@VirarAutomotive]

Hmm. Did you plug in something that draws a lot of current ? Water kettle ? Multiple laptops ? Anything like that ?

[@msr-xj3rr]

@Virar Automotive No. It's just my regular AC/USB charger, and I checked if I can charge my phone. I used it many times before.

[@VirarAutomotive]

That's odd. Sounds like a short circuit somewhere. Can't really tell more without looking. Sorry :(

[@themotherspassport4458]

What about the USB charger, not the outlet

[@VirarAutomotive]

The USB port / Aux Port is a single part and it has to be replaced. It's a common issue with these cars.
