In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the fuse box diagrams for the second-generation Hyundai Santa Fe (CM), manufactured from 2007 to 2012. Whether you’re troubleshooting electrical issues or simply need to locate a specific fuse, understanding your Santa Fe’s fuse layout is crucial. This article provides detailed fuse box diagrams for the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe models. You’ll find information on fuse box locations within the vehicle and clear descriptions of each fuse and relay function. Furthermore, we will briefly touch upon the importance of fuses related to your OBD2 port for diagnostic purposes.
Understanding Your Hyundai Santa Fe Fuse Box Locations
For the 2007-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, there are primarily two fuse box locations you need to be aware of:
Interior Fuse Box (Instrument Panel)
The primary interior fuse box is located inside the instrument panel on the driver’s side. To access it, you’ll typically need to remove a cover panel, often found on the lower left side of the dashboard.

Engine Compartment Fuse Box
The second fuse box is situated in the engine compartment, usually on the left-hand side when facing the engine bay. It’s typically housed in a black plastic box and is easily identifiable.
Inside both the instrument panel and engine compartment fuse box covers, you will typically find a label or diagram. This label provides a quick reference to the fuse and relay names and their amperage ratings. It’s important to always consult the label inside your specific vehicle’s fuse box as there might be slight variations depending on the model year and installed options. The diagrams provided below serve as a comprehensive guide, but your vehicle’s label should be your primary reference.

The Importance of the Clock Fuse and OBD2 Port Functionality
Notably, in the instrument panel fuse box diagrams, particularly for the 2007-2009 models, the CLOCK fuse (15A) is listed as protecting the Data Link Connector (DLC), which is commonly known as the OBD2 port. For the 2010-2012 models, the CLOCK fuse (15A) also protects the Data Link Connector (DLC/OBD2 Port).
This is a critical piece of information for anyone experiencing issues with their OBD2 port. If you are unable to connect a scan tool or are having trouble retrieving diagnostic codes from your 2007-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, checking the CLOCK fuse in the instrument panel fuse box should be one of your first troubleshooting steps. A blown CLOCK fuse can directly disable your OBD2 port, preventing communication with vehicle systems.
By understanding the fuse box diagrams and the function of fuses like the CLOCK fuse, you can effectively diagnose and resolve common electrical problems in your 2007-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe, and ensure your OBD2 port is functional for essential vehicle diagnostics.
Disclaimer: Always consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual and the fuse box lid for the most accurate fuse and relay information specific to your Hyundai Santa Fe model year and trim. Incorrect fuse replacement can damage vehicle systems. If you are unsure about any procedures, consult a qualified automotive technician.
