In the 2012 Kia Sportage, a blown fuse can cause the instrument cluster to stop functioning. The instrument cluster is typically located above the steering wheel in a vehicle and provides important information to the driver, such as speed, fuel level, and system statuses. The speedometer is typically the main focus within the cluster. Replacing the instrument cluster is a straightforward task that can be undertaken by someone with basic tools. While there are potential issues that may arise, most mechanics consider the process to be simple. Plan to dedicate about one to one and a half hours for this task.
I'm dealing with a similar issue on my 2012 Kia Sportage – my RPM and speedometer aren't working. I've gone through all the fuses but still no luck. Any ideas on which fuse might be causing the problem? It's a real head-scratcher.
A blown fuse is responsible for the instrument cluster malfunction in the 2012 Kia Sportage.
I have a comparable problem with my car of the same make and model.... My dashboard dials aren't functioning, but the lights on the dashboard are working. The brightness control for the dashboard isn't working either. If I remove the fuse for the dashboard, the lights go out.
I'm currently dealing with a similar problem with my Sportage. I'm in the process of troubleshooting and trying to find a solution. Unfortunately, this car has been nothing but trouble for me.
