Passenger side under the dash. Three screws hold it in, very easy job. Buy new Blower Motor on E- Bay for 45.00 all day long. Kia wanted something like 275.00
This is for the air conditioning system
The Condenser Fan Relay and the A/C Cut Relay on a Kia Sportage are located together under the dashboard on the passenger side of the vehicle. They are just aft of the heater blower motor. The Comndenser Fan Relay is the 20amp relay and the A/C Cut (compressor) relay is the 52amp relay.
are we sure it is smoke not hot anti-freeze mist leaking from heater core ? if it truly is smoke you have a shorted fan switch.
no ,electric a/c fan on passenger side
yes
If the fan is running, you could have an accumulation of leaves under the cowl, or in the squrrell cage of the fan, been there, done that. Not hard to clean, remove the cowl and clean, remove the fan and clean.
FYI - Auto Recall: 2002 KIA Sportage - Engine and Engine Cooling: Cooling System: Fan. Dealers will replace engine cooling fan with a fan made of improved material - recall began on June 11, 2007.
Look under the dash on the passenger side
I think you mean the heater CORE! Just start pulling apart the right side of the dash! Take out the glove box and the fan etc! Take the hoses lose from under the hood! Good luck!
MY WIFE HAS A 99 KIA SEPHIA. SHE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK OUT OF IT. ANYWAY THE HEATER MOTOR IS LOCATED UNDER THE DASH,RIGHT BELOW THE GLOVE BOX. I HAVE TO BEAT ON HERS WITH A RUBBER MALLET TO GET IT TO WORK.
