You are a superior explainer and demonstrator! You take nothing for granted about how much the viewer knows. You teach some things that may be basic obvious things to a pro, but to a newbie they are the difference between success and failure. I'm familiar with cars and have repaired lots of cars for friends. I have probably watched hundreds of repair videos. But our videos are far better than most I've watched. No annoying music either.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@LivenUp7]

I didn't use this tutorial as intended. I instead used it to pull my start fuse so no one can steal my Hyundai in these trying times(because it is a serious issue atm, Hyundais and Kias) so thank you. I feel less anxious now.

[@VirarAutomotive]

Glad I could be of help :)

[@Shiraq]

Excellent video, power outlet is very critical for older cars without newer apple/android car play. This video will help us maintain it and continue using it for charging devices! Thank you

[@jeremyharnish4178]

@VirarAutomotive my ports for charging were not and not charging and working followed your video and they worked thanks so much

[@dvox766]

Well done instructional. I have a problem with the 1/8" input beside the power outlet- connection is very poor when I plug in ipod. Is there a way to take the face plate off for that area and get in and either replace the 1/8" female connector or fix the connection? tia

[@VirarAutomotive]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Gvp4eDmrJ-hKM This could help!

[@jevantesibley4961]

So I wanna ask before I try this. But were there two appropriate spare fuses for the charger port or did you only swap one?

[@VirarAutomotive]

I only swapped one. There is only spare fuse of the correct amperage

[@Logan-lf4ei]

Is there a way to fix the aux? Mines not working

[@VirarAutomotive]

I haven't tried it. Try watching this video. It's from an Elantra but the process could be partially the same. Hopefully it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znimk4Kcj75oiLc

[@Logan-lf4ei]

@@VirarAutomotive ok thanks

[@VirarAutomotive]

👍😊

[@mr.underground13]

Hello nice video but why is one of them working and the other one not?

[@VirarAutomotive]

I don't understand? In this video I show how to fix each of the power outlets.

[@mr.underground13]

@@VirarAutomotive thank you i like how you explained your video !

[@ms.g4864]

What if it's a blown fuse? How do I replace the entire outlet?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Replacing the entire outlet is a bit more work. I'll try and make a video on that when I can get a 2011-2014 Hyundai sonata with me.

[@quintinnewby6947]

Does this also go for the USB port ???

[@VirarAutomotive]

Are you referring to the USB port that's in the middle there ? Besides the aux input ?

[@ms.g4864]

Yes

[@nikkinik8750]

Also looking for answer to this @virarautomotive

[@VirarAutomotive]

No it doesn't unfortunately. Usually when that USB /Aux part goes bad, the way to fix it just replace the part. It's a fairly common issue.

[@jobansingh8297]

Sir where is fuse for backup camera in that car

[@VirarAutomotive]

I don't think there is a seperate fuse for the backup camera. The backup camera going bad is a common issue for the 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata. The solution to it is just replacing the camera itself. It takes some work, but I have done it a couple times in the past and its totally doable, probably take like 20-30 mins.

[@laislachica6538]

Where can we purchase extra fuses?

[@VirarAutomotive]

Any auto parts store will have new fuses. Be sure to buy ones of the right size and amperage. I would suggest a blown fuse with you in the store when you go shopping.

[@lindadavis2326]

Can’t find any spare fuses 15A They’re all too big! Help😢

[@VirarAutomotive]

I'd suggest checking around there in the store. There are a couple standard sizes of fuses. There is one that is bigger than the one in the Sonata and one smaller too. Good luck

[@codalexxs2864]

my fuse wasn’t burned tho

[@VirarAutomotive]

Then it's likely the outlet itself.

[@52msdiane]

its not a fuse I had that checked

[@VirarAutomotive]

Well in that case it's probably the outlet itself or the wiring. The fuse is usually the culprit and easiest to try out.

[@52msdiane]

@@VirarAutomotive are they expensive to replace?

[@VirarAutomotive]

The part itself is not expensive. Around $30-35, a mechanic shop would charge you about 1 hour of labour. ~$100.

[@52msdiane]

@@VirarAutomotive thanks so much!

[@brittanys.9812]

so you didn’t have to buy a different fuse???

[@VirarAutomotive]

That is correct. There is a spare fuse in the car to solve the problem right away. At a later time point I suggest to get a pack of fuse to replace the spare fuse that gets used up to fix the problem here

[@madb9422]

@Virar Automotive - Thanks so much for the video! Are there also spare fuses in the panel under the driver's side dash?

[@VirarAutomotive]

I don't think so. I think all the spare fuses are in the fuse panel that's under the hood.

[@madb9422]

@@VirarAutomotive Thanks. I'll go check for you when I replace the one that you said to replace. Really appreciate your help!

[@madb9422]

@@VirarAutomotive I found out that in my 2011, there are no 15A spare fuses under the driver's side dash, but there are 10 & 20's. I'm sending u a link to a page that shows not only the 2011, but later years too.
