In the 2017 Kia Forte, the headlight fuse can be found under the car's hood. To access the fuse box under the hood, you should open and secure the hood latch. Look for a black box along the right side of the engine compartment with a visible seam. Opening this box will reveal the fuse inside. The lid of the case will have a diagram showing the fuse's purpose. If the diagram is not present on the lid, you can refer to the car's owner's manual. Once you determine which fuse you need, carefully remove it. Check if the thin strip of metal connecting the two raised sections is intact. If the strip is broken, the fuse is damaged and should be replaced. If the strip is intact, the fuse is still good and can be reinserted. Replacement fuses are generally inexpensive, typically costing around 10 dollars.
Maybe some models may have a fuse for the headlights, but I checked the fusebox in my basic 2017 Forte and there isn't a fuse specifically for the headlights.
I checked both fuse boxes, but they are not labeled. The owner's manual indicates it should be under the hood, but the specific fuse remains unidentified.
Can you tell me where I can locate the fuse for the low beam headlights in the car's engine compartment?
The headlight fuse for the 2017 Kia Forte is located in the primary fuse box situated under the hood of the car.
I'm unsure which specific fuse it is since it's not clearly labeled on the fuse box or mentioned in the owner's manual.
Is there a solution for this issue? It would be excellent if the fuse is B+, but that specific row is not present in the fuse box. Although it is indicated on the diagram, the row is not available when attempting to locate it among the fuses.
Experiencing a similar problem, the B+ fuses missing are actually part of a component called a "Multi fuse." This component is a black strip secured with a nut in the bottom left corner and labeled with a model number on top, instead of the individual fuses shown in the diagram.
