Hyundai i20 Fuses
Fuses for the Hyundai i20 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i20 you are running
What Are Hyundai i20 Fuses?
Hyundai fuses are small blade-style protectors that sit in the dashboard fuse box and one or two engine-bay boxes. We see them blow most often on i20 and Accent ignition circuits, usually flagging a wiring short or a tired consumer rather than a random failure.

How we match fuses to your i20
Ordering fuses for a i20 starts with the generation: PB, then GB, then the current BC3.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
- 1
Find the generation code on your i20 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The i20 ran Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4 and Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line) in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the fuses you are after , along with the VIN, and the fault code if the car has been scanned. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the i20shares its Kappa and Gamma engine families with the Kia Rio — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i20 Fuses FAQs
Will fuses from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about i20 fuses?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The i20 ran as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does it cost to replace a car fuse in a Hyundai?
A single blade fuse costs R50-R100 at any SA accessory shop. A full replacement fuse box, like the Hyundai Accent unit, runs around R727 through our supplier network. Labour is 15 minutes at most indies.
What are the symptoms of a blown fuse in a Hyundai?
One electrical circuit stops working while everything else stays live. Typical flags are dead cigarette lighter, lost radio memory, or indicators that refuse to click. The fuse itself shows a snapped metal strip when you pull it.
Why does my Hyundai fuse keep blowing?
A repeat-blowing fuse means a short or an overloaded circuit, not a bad fuse. Common culprits on i20 and Accent are chafed wiring near door hinges, water in the boot loom, or a shorted blower motor. Get it traced before fitting a bigger fuse.
How do I check if a fuse is blown in my Hyundai?
Pull the suspect fuse with the plastic puller in the lid. Hold it to the light: if the metal strip inside is broken or blackened, it is blown. A cheap circuit tester confirms it without guessing.
Where can I buy a Hyundai fuse box in South Africa?
Used fuse boxes for most Hyundai models come through Pro Hyundai Spares and our supplier network. Match the part number on the lid to your VIN-decoded spec, since i20, Accent units are not interchangeable.
