Where's the starter on a 2004 Kia Sedona?

Depending on your engine which I'm gonna take a long shot and say you have the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder. It is on the front of the transmission. Must take exhaust manifold heat shield off and you will see starter under exhaust manifold EDIT: To add to the above, concerning the 2.7 liter model, it is also at the front of the car. Get on the ground at the front of the car and put your head at the center line of the vehicle. Now, scoot underneath the car about a foot and look up, just to the right of center-line (be sure the car is not running and the car is in park--- of course). You will see an aluminum shield about the size of a pie pan, in the shape of a square. This is a protective shield which protects the starter. Get a small socket and ratchet and remove the two bolts holding the heat shield on. Once the bolts are off, the heat shield should move freely. You might not be able to remove it completely, but you can slide it toward the exhaust and out of the way. Once the shield is out of the way, you will see your starter. This answer also applies to the 2002 Kia Optima with the 2.7 L engine and may apply to other models also. I have no idea why it is so difficult to find such data for the Kia Optima. STARTER DOESN'T TURN OVER -- DOES NOTHING2001 and 2002 Kias have an interesting problem with starters. When the starter starts to get old, you may find that nothing happens when you turn your key over (No cranking sound at all... no ticking, etc.). If your lights work fine but your starter does nothing when you turn the key, your starter may be on its last leg. You may be able to get it to turn over, though, if you remove the starer heat shield (as described above) and whack the starter a few times with a small hammer. Kia mechanics and Kia Optima owners are well aware of this problem with the starter on the Kia Optima in this year range. If this is the case with your starter, you should replace the starter as soon as you are able as the problem will continue to worsen and may eventually leave you stranded and banging on it may fail to work.
