Location of OBD connector for kia Rio 2004?
It is in the 'pedal' area of the drive seat.
It points downwards and is not visible right away.
If you have the door open and stand 'outside' of your vehicle,
bow downwards and have a look into the pedal area.
It should be down from where the ignition key is and where the plastic stops.

Correction...
The MAP or Manifold Air Pressure sensor, is going to be under the hood, on the end of the intake manifold farthest from the intake piping. It senses the overall air pressure in the intake manifold to assist the computer in setting the proper fuel/air ratio.

If a timing belt breaks in a 2003 Kia Rio will it bend the valves?
Referring to the Auto Education and Gates (commercial) websites (refer to the links, below), the 2003 Kia Rio is referred to as an "interference engine", which means that, as with many other motor vehicles, "(i)f your timing belt breaks, the engine will continue to turn, but the camshaft stops. If any of the valves are open, and your engine is an interference engine, the piston will slam into the open valve and cause some real expensive damage", including, potentially, needing to replace the entire engine. This does not cause the valves to "bend".
the valves bend, I'll ship you the bad valves.

How do you replace front light bulbs for 2004 Kia Sorento?
If it is the same as an 06 there are 3 bolts that hold the Headlight assembly on. One on top and 2 close together on the front close to the grille. Take these out and the assembly comes out so you can get to the cover that goes over the bulb. Check your owners manual for more details.
How do you replace the HVAC fan switch on a 2003 Kia Rio?
The replacement is a complicated process, so i would recommend you purchase a factory repair manual (Haynes are ok, but miss things sometimes). Do know, however, that this may be a temporary fix to a bigger problem, in that something caused the switch to go bad. These Kias are notorious for this problem, and it generally ends up being (not limited to) either a fan motor, blower motor resistor, or a fan relay that is going bad and causing resistance to heat up the circuit and damage the switch. Unless you have electrical experience, you should not try to tackle this problem and take the car to a COMPETENT repair shop experienced in electronic diagnostics (NOTE that I did NOT say dealer, sometimes they are no help at all.)

What type of oil to use in my 2006 Kia Rio LX?
5w 20 is recommended by most dealers. I stick with castrol GTX and bring 5 quarts in for my oil change as the KIA dealership here uses only Valvoline. You likely have a 1.6 liter so your oil capacity will be 3.5 quarts. Don't let them tell you that you need 5 quarts or you will be way over the fill line. This has happened to me several times to the point that now I bring in exactly 3.5 quarts and tell them if any additional is necessary, I will do it myself. Too much oil is not good.
