This 2019 Kia Soul is equipped with the newest style of Micro2 or (also known as "Micro II") electrical fuses.

Please check your old fuses before purchasing new ones to verify which type of fuse is required.

(The previous first generation 2009 to 2013 Soul is equipped with "low profile" mini blade fuses.)

A white plastic fuse puller tool should be included on the engine bay fuse block.

If the tool is missing, you could use a pair of needle nose pliers with rubber insulated handles.

The first two steps are to open the hood and then move to the right (driver) side of the engine bay.

The rectangular shaped black plastic fuse box is located just to the right of the 12V automotive battery and behind the driver side headlight housing.

Push in the release tab on the rear of the fuse box cover and the second release tab on the front of the cover to unlock the retaining clips.

There is a fuse location diagram on the underside of the cover along with a some spare fuses in a variety of amperage ratings.

The white plastic fuse puller tool is situated on the engine bay fuse block at the middle of the left edge.

To access the interior passenger compartment fuse panel, move to the lower outer area of the driver side dashboard.

Insert your fingers into the opening near the bottom of the cover and pull it straight out.

Turn over the cover to view the fuse location diagram.

Place the jaws of the tool over the old fuse that you would like to check or change.

Pull the old fuse straight out of the socket.

If the thin metal strip or "band" in the translucent plastic center of the old fuse appears to be broken or burnt, the old fuse is most likely "blown" and should be replaced.

If the thin metal bar in the middle of the old fuse appears to be intact, the old fuse might still be in good working condition.

Since new fuses are so inexpensive, it should still be replaced as part of your electrical issue troubleshooting process.

Push a new Micro2 type fuse of the same amperage rating straight into the socket.

If you have an older 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013 Soul or perhaps an earlier 2nd generation 2014 or 2015 Soul, your car might be equipped with "low profile" mini blade fuses.

If you would like to add a hard wire 12 volt power source for an automotive accessory such as a dashcam (dash camera), GPS navigation unit, cell phone charger, gauge or an LED lighted Lyft / Uber sign, buy an Add-A-Circuit fuse tap holder or "piggy-back" fuse holder.

You can find a circuit in the interior fuse panel that either has "switched" power that is only "live" or "hot" when the ignition switch is in the "on" position or you can choose a circuit that is always on by using a digital multimeter tool.

Lower the cover down over the top of the engine bay fuse panel.

Push on the cover to secure the two retaining clips.

You should hear or feel the two retaining clips "click" securely into place.

Push the access cover for the interior fuse panel back into the opening in the dashboard.

Test the electrical component that you were having issues with such as the horn, A/C system, stereo, door locks, 12V power outlet, ETC.

If you are still having the same problem, there might be a shorted out wire or the electrical component itself needs to be replaced.

If you suspect that a faulty relay is the cause of your electrical problem, the easiest way to troubleshoot the issue is to simply replace the relay with a new one of the same amperage rating.

You could also check the old relay with a digital multimeter tool.

Be sure to write down the fuse change or any other procedure in your vehicle's service records.
