Sportage 2WD 4Dr L4-2.0L (2000)
1. Remove the open fuse and disconnect the load.
2. Connect a test light or voltmeter across the fuse terminals. Make sure voltage is being applied to the battery side fuse terminal. Check the
schematic to see if the ignition switch needs to be in the "ON" position.
3. Beginning near the fuse box, wiggle the harness. Continue this process at convenient points about six inches apart while watching the test light or
voltmeter.
4. When the test light blinks or the voltmeter needle moves, there is a short to ground in the wiring near that point.
Testing For Voltage
This test measures voltage in a circuit. When testing for voltage at a connector, you may not have to separate the two halves of the connector. Instead,
probe the connector from the back. Always check both sides of the connector because dirt and corrosion between its contact surfaces can cause electrical
problems.
1. Connect one lead of a test light to a known good ground, or if you are using a voltmeter, be sure you connect its negative lead to ground.
2. Connect the other lead of the test light or voltmeter to the point you want to check.
3. If the test light glows, there is voltage present. If you are using a voltmeter, note the voltage reading. It should be within one volt of measured
battery voltage. A loss of more than one volt indicates a problem.
