My 2000 Kia Sportage keeps blowing fuses intermittently. The Auto electrician said that there was nothing he could do until it blows completely/ most of the time. Can anyone help?

The section in which the fuse does blow out is important. A fuse blows due to an excess current drain in the circuit and so it is important that the drain be checked on this circuit using a series ammeter. Also the components in this circuit is important as you can disconnect each of the circuit and isolate the faulty circuit. Also use a higer grade fuse if there is no heating , it would have been easier if you specified the circuit.

2000 kia sportage the meter fuse intermittingly breaks ,cant figure it out

My experience with a kia sportage is that the big fuses are simply inserted to the fuse box located in front of the battery at the engine bay. The plastic holders gets brittle over a span of time and due to the heat inside the engine bay. Most often the fuse loosens up and causes fuse blow out. I had 4 successive fuse blows in 2 months time that i decided to change the whole fuse holder with a new one. It Worked

I have a Kia sportage 2000 4x4 the indicator fuse keeps blowing, unfortunately this cuts out the motor. The fuse needs to be replaced to re start the engine. The fuse lasts for a while then blows...

the problem could be coming from the indicator relay as doesn't blow fuse instantly, try with the 4 way flasher on and see if relay get over heated , electronics work in weird and varied ways ,most fuses supply power to more than one function , check what the other function's run from the problem fuse , this will , hopefully explain why the engine cuts out,

Kia 2000 sportage auto keep blowing fuse when starting can you tell me what is wrong

well, blowing fuses is caused by a short, has the vehicle had anything done to it before the fuses started blowing ??? and what fuses are blowing, if it is the main fuses that are 200 amp, then it could be caused by faulty wiring, or bad earth.......trust me if it is the 200 A fuse that is blowing, you will be very happy that it is, because if the manufacturer did not put that fuse there, you would be facing a vehicle fire.....i would trace the fault, or have an auto-electrician diagnose for you

Possibly a bad ignition switch unplug the harness under the dash follow it from the ignition to the plug (about 8" from ign) unplug it put a fuse in and see if it blows.
