Relay Guide: 2018 Genesis G80 Fuses and Fuse Box

A fuse box is a feature of the 2018 Genesis G80 that is essential for controlling and safeguarding the electrical systems of the car. Numerous fuses in the fuse box are intended to break an electrical circuit in the event of a high current or short circuit, protecting the car’s systems from harm. The 2018 Genesis G80’s fuse box is arranged neatly and conveniently inside the car, with each fuse serving a particular purpose in terms of electricity. This covers devices like air conditioning, power windows, lighting, and more. One frequent troubleshooting approach for a non-functioning function on your G80 is to check the relevant fuse in the fuse box.

FUSES

2018 Genesis G80 Fuses and Fuse Box (1)A vehicle’s electrical system is protected from electrical overload damage by fuses. This vehicle has 4 fuse panels, one located in the driver’s side panel bolster, another in the engine compartment, and two others in the trunk compartment. If any of your vehicle’s lights, accessories, or controls do not work, check the appropriate circuit fuse. If a fuse has blown, the element inside the fuse will be melted or broken. If the electrical system does not work, first check the driver’s side fuse panel. Before replacing a blown fuse, turn the engine and all switches off, and then disconnect the negative battery cable. Always replace a blown fuse with one of the same rating. If the replacement fuse blows, this indicates an electrical problem. Avoid using the system involved and immediately consult an authorized retailer of Genesis Branded products.

Information
Four kinds of fuses are used: blade type for lower amperage rating, cartridge type/Multi fuse/Fusible link for higher amperage ratings.

WARNING
NEVER replace a fuse with anything but another fuse of the same rating.

  • A higher capacity fuse could cause damage and possibly cause a fire.
  • Do not install a wire or aluminum foil instead of the proper fuse – even as a temporary repair. It may cause extensive wiring damage and possibly a fire.

NOTICE
Do not use a screwdriver or any other metal object to remove fuses because it may cause a short circuit and damage the system.

How to Replace Fuses of Genesis G80

Replacing fuses in a Genesis G80 is a straightforward process. Here’s a detailed guide along with some helpful tips:

  1. Locate the Fuse Box: The fuse box in the Genesis G80 is typically located either under the dashboard on the driver’s side or under the hood near the battery. Look for a rectangular or square-shaped black plastic box.

  2. Identify the Fuse Box Cover: The fuse box cover may have a diagram indicating which fuses correspond to various components. If there’s no diagram on the cover, you might need to refer to an online resource or use the guidance of a professional.

  3. Turn Off the Vehicle: Before beginning any work on the fuses, ensure that the vehicle is completely turned off, and the key is removed from the ignition.

  4. Open the Fuse Box Cover: Depending on the model year of your Genesis G80, you may need to press a release latch or simply lift the cover to access the fuses. Some models may have additional covers within the fuse box itself.

  5. Determine the Faulty Fuse: If you’re encountering a specific electrical issue, utilize the fuse diagram to identify which fuse corresponds to the malfunctioning component.

  6. Remove the Fuse: Use a fuse puller tool if one is available, or carefully grip the fuse with your fingers and pull it straight out. Ensure you do this gently to avoid damaging the fuse or the fuse box.

  7. Inspect the Fuse: Visually inspect the fuse to determine if the wire inside is intact. If the wire is broken or there are signs of damage, the fuse requires replacement.

  8. Select the Correct Replacement Fuse: Refer to the fuse diagram to determine the correct amperage and type of fuse required for replacement. Using an incorrect fuse can lead to electrical problems or damage to your vehicle.

  9. Insert the New Fuse: Carefully insert the new fuse into the slot from which you removed the old one. Ensure that it fits securely and is seated properly.

  10. Close the Fuse Box Cover: After replacing the fuse, firmly close the fuse box cover to prevent any dust or moisture from entering the fuse box.

  11. Test the Component: Turn the ignition to the accessory position (without starting the engine) and test the component associated with the fuse to verify that it’s functioning correctly.

Tips:

  • Keep a variety of spare fuses in your vehicle, covering different amperages, in case of emergencies.
  • Periodically inspect your fuses if you notice any electrical issues with your Genesis G80.
  • Handle fuses delicately to prevent damage to the fuse box or other components.
  • If you’re uncertain about which fuse controls a particular component, consider seeking assistance from a professional mechanic.
