2012 Kia Optima Hybrid - No Start! Intermittent Blown fuse?! 

Another case study that proves automotive service is 100% a science

Crazy but a good catch. I wonder who the first guy that figured it out by tapping and for a TSB to be written up.👍

Cars have us out here doubting our skills and others. Thank you TSB

Much love from Zimbabwe

I had one with same issue a while back, it was also the fuse. thanks for sharing.

This was a crazy one, great job!

It’s so nice! I’ve replaced a lot of them in Kia/hyundai but never caught it in intermittent state. It was always a dead no start issue. But now I know what to expect. Thank you 😊

Crazy. At first I was thinking it was in the converter/ inverter assembly since the battery light was on before you found the codes.

Awesome video! I've already ordered the new fuse and while I'm at it change the 12v battery but check that 150 fuse on the positive contact. Thank you again!

NICE DIAGNOSTIC ,,,,,,,,, STILL WAITING ON THE BAG THANKS AND PLEASE KEEP THE GREAT VIDEOS COMING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Verified. Good diagnostic work.

Great catch, Lazer!

I subbed and liked the video! Been dealing with 2013 hybrid that has cost me thousands and over a year of downtime and stress. Replaced this fuse, 12v, HSG and HPCU but the problem remains… I get “check charging system” And hybrid warning, everything is working except the 12v battery is not being charged. DTC u0298 shows for AAF, LDC and AC/HVAC. All 3 are showing lost communication with DC TO DC converter. Any input would be an absolute blessing for me, truly! Dealership ripped me off really bad so went to a hybrid repair shop, all they did was replace HPCU (which I had just replaced) and it made no difference! Same exact issue still :( I would love to see more videos related to this hybrid car

Hi can you do a video on your new Veto Tool Pouch? Great content by the way 👍

Bad fuses are making you rich and famous!

Those fuses are really weird. I believe you are supposed to tap the fuse before/ while you get the reading, otherwise it will appear blown. If you tap it and then get a reading it should show, but get nothing if it has been sitting

Hello can you help me

❤

I have the same problem with mine

Ever seen U0298 code on 13 hybrid optima?

Did you get a new tool bag? How do you like this one?

intermittent fuse! how do we even stand a chance😉

Looks like a circuit breaker rather than a fuse ! Quite confusing!
