Kia Sephia

I have a 2005 Kia Sportage and the fan relay is located behind the motor blower, mounted on a small bracket under the passenger side console.

It sure is! It can be knocked lose by a passenger's foot. With the fan on (and the car) tighten it. If that doesn't work you may need a new one.

Your car requires three things to run. Air, fuel, and a spark. So the most logical way to figure it out is make sure it is getting all three. The actual method you choose can be dependent on the car you have. For instance, some cars have a fitting on the fuel rail to check for fuel pressure with a gauge.

Push the clock button, then push the tune button. Up for minutes. Down for Hours.

a speed sensor tells the vehicle computers how fast the vehicle is going, and also possibly operates the speedometer. If it is a wheel speed sensor it tells the anti-lock brake system how fast the individual wheel is turning and activates the anti-lock brakes in case of a skid.

Yes I just use the override code #1111 and then press (sel) and its working just fine...thanks for the help.

yes i just did the same thing i had replaced my alternator etc and to my dismay the code light began to flash i simply googled it and found the website which told me to use override code #1111 and then press (sel) i hope this works for you as it worked for me .......good luck!!!!!!

It could possibly be a bad vacuum line connection. some cars use a vacuum powered motor to divert the air to different vents when you select them on the climate controls. With the car running, open the hood and listen for any hissing noises, like leaking air.If you dont find any leaks there, and you don't hear a hissing inside the car, you may possibly have bad ductwork in your car. if you find a vacuum leak,either replace the hose, or sometimes it iis as simple as pushing the hose back onto a fitting.

I asked this question the other day and nobody answered, so I figured it out myself.

The first thing you need to do is remove the rear seat cushion. To do this, run your fingers under the cushion and you'll find two release buttons. Push them both, and get that seat out of the way.

Next is to remove the side cushions underneath the seatbelt shoulder straps. You'll find a single bolt and washer in the lower corners of the side cushions. Remove the bolts and lift up on the cushions. Get those out of the way.

Now you gotta take out the third brake light. On both sides of the light, you'll find bulls-eye shaped fasteners. Using a screwdriver, push in the middle button and pull out the fasteners. Now you can remove the brake light casing. There are two bolts that hold the brake light to the back dash. Remove them, disconnect the wire and get that brake light outta the way.

To remove the back dash, there are two black screws along the front of the trim panel. Get those outta there along with the child seat restraints along the top.

Now grab that trim panel and pull it out of the way. You'll now see that the speakers are screwed in from the top down. Unscrew the speakers and pop in your new ones.

**Be aware that Kia uses a proprietary plug on the stock speakers. The positive is horizontal and the negative is vertical. I used a pair of scissors and pliers to break the plastic casing off the plug to expose the connectors that easily plugged directly into the speakers.**

Now do everything backwards and you're good to go. If you screw something up, I can't be held responsible.

Yes you can, but if you don't replace it with another one such as a Magna Flow or a High Flow Cat, you won't pass emissions If You don't care to pass emissions then go ahead. Don't forget to make it look like you have one or you can get a ticket.

You could possibly have a bad heater core. I would bring it in a shop and have it checked out

or your actuator for your blend door has gone bad.

If you have less than 100,000 miles on it, and are the original owner, it is still covered by warranty.

YOUR IN LUCK! I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO RESET THE CLOCK IN MY MOTHER'S 99 KIA TODAY. WE'VE BEEN ADDING 6 HOURS AND SUBTRACTING 20 MINUTES FOR MONTHS. 1. PRESS THE "F" BUTTON , LIGHT WILL GO OFF. 2. HOLD CLOCK BUTTON IN UNTIL, HOUR DIGIT BEGINS TO FLASH. 3.ADJUST HOUR DIGIT BY TURNING RADIO TUNING KNOB. THEN PUSH IT IN, TO SET IT. CONTINUE SAME FOR MINUTES. GOOD LUCK

To change the transmission filter you have to drop the pan. The filter is located under the pan. When purchasing a filter they usually come with a new pan gasket.

I had a problem with my a/c fan. I took out the glove box and accessed the ac blower motor(on the passanger side). unbolt and remove. take a look at the motor brushes they may be covered in black. take the motor apart and clean brushes and contacts. Put everything back and it may work. It worked for me.

You have to remove the intake manifold to get to the 3 rear ones. Search this forum, this question has been answered at length with full description of step by step method.

Replace the resister, if that doesn't work replace the blower motor.

You can use 10w 30...But the guy at the auto shop said that you SHOULD use 5w 30.

Positive to battery or fuse, light to dimmer switch (if used) Negative to negative on cars ignition coil.

It is mounted on the (front side) ECM behind the center dash console (radio, a/c controls, etc) close to the floor in the passenger compartment

The cigarette lighter fuse on a 2001 Kia Sephia is replaced by opening the fuse box door and pulling the fuse out using a puller tool. A new fuse is pushed into position by applying even force.

This is a little tricky if you don't know how to do it. The crank is actually on piece of plastic molded. It is held onto the shaft by a keeper that snaps onto the back part of the handle. It is a little trick to get off with standard tools but a flat head screw driver usually work.

Push the plastic door panel back away from the crank you should be able to see the keeper snapped over the plastic part of the crank that goes onto the shaft. The keeper is sort of a circular spring with an opening. Find and flat head screw driver that will part the opening in the spring far enough to slide it off. The crank handle pulls straight off.

2 recalls to date, one deals with owners manual peinted wrong with jump starting the car, the other is with the sensor connectors must have a clip adsded to all connectors for intermittent connectivity problems. the only other thing is replace fuel pump and main engine relays in pairs , not a tech bulletin about it but just about everyone knows about this for 1995 thru 2002 sportages.
