Kia Sorento

The most common cause of noise in your AM radio is a loose or corroded ground wire. Clean and tighten the ground wire and the AM noise should disappear.

the door skin is very tricky to do, it can be done but it will actually be cheaper to buy a used door from the junk yard and repaint it, plus you won't have to worry about all the weld waves in the door skin.But it can be done.

AC Compressor has died and needs replacement. The compressor will not turn therefore building pressure in the low side.

From the Kia Technical Service Bulletin:

Download provides information related to the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) for Sorento & Sedona models. Some Sorento & Sedona vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes P0121 and/or P1121. This condition mainly occurs in high ambient or desert areas, and can be related to the occasional increase in contact resistance due to excessive wear of the inner elements of the TP sensor. This bulletin describes the proper service and adjustment procedure for replacing the TP Sensor. - Effective Vehicle Information 2003-2006 Sorento 3.5L 2002-2005 Sedona 3.5L - Parts Information Part Name Previous Part No. New Part No. Throttle Position Sensor 35102 39000 35102 39000FFF - Service Procedure Replacement Procedure: 1.

Voltage: Closed throttle voltage should be 30~65mV less than the voltage noted in step eight (8). Adjust TP Sensor and repeat test as required.

no you do not just let off the gas a little and change away =]

First you can not buy at local auto supply it is a special order at dealer. It is located in the fuel tank on the side of the pump. Disconnect battery .- side Here is the easiest way I found to replace. No need to drop tank there is a access to pump.underneath rear seat passenger side. Remove 4 screws lift up an disconnect 2 electrical connections then put panel to side. Disconnect fuel lines some gas will come out maybe a couple of ounces have rag ready. Take off rubber ring with a screw driver loose ring (counter clockwise) lay into it don,t be afraid to lay into it. Cairefully remove pump. You will see sensor on side of pump. Pop off sensor trace wires disconnect as you go along release 3 clips wires go inside pump. Reconnect wires . Macke sure th sensor wire is plugged in to inside outlet calrefully replace pump in reverse order. Sounds like a lot of wor k but.it,s better than having to drope tank Steve B

I had to change the front wheel bearings in my sedona a few months ago. In order to change them you must do the following.

1) Remove tire

2) decompress the brake caliper

3) unbolt brake caliper and lay it to the side (no need to disconnect brake line

4) remove castle nut from axel

5) unbolt stearing linkage from ball joint (on van door side of hub)

6) unbolt strut from hub (make sure the vehicle is jacked up high enough to allow the hub/wheel assymbly to hang as low as possible.

7) remove CV axel from hub

8) unbolt lower ball joint from hub

9) take hub out

10) remove seal and retainer ring form front and back of hub (retainer ring is on the front side seal is on the back side

11) I highly recommend a press (rent one it is worth it, trust me) and remove the old bearing.

12) insert new bearing and press in (again I recomend renting the press)

13) put everything back the way it came off and your done.

NOTE: I strongly suggest placeing the bearing in the freezer for several hours before you start working on the replacement. This lets the metal contract slightly and makes it easier to get it into the hub.

Also you might need a small propain torch to heat the hub up to make it easier to remove the old bearing (especialy if you do not have a press, again RENT THE PRESS)

Good luck.

Not that big of a deal now that I have done it once (without the press) although I wouldn't do it again without the press. having the right tools make the job a thousand times easier. my biggest problem was getting the old bearing out and putting the new one in that's when I found out about freezing the new bearing before installing and also heating the hub to get the old one out.

THE FUEL FILTER IS IN THE FUEL TANK, THERE IS A ACCESS PANEL UNDER THE REAR SEAT.

So I would have to remove the rear seat from the inside of my 2004 kia sorento?

On the left side of the bike (as you are sitting on) behind the triangle shaped cover there is a 3/4 inch oil line that comes from the oil tank and terminates at a dummy plug held in place by a spring clamp. Using a hose clamp pliers, slide clamp back and pull line free. Direct hose downward to a waste oil container and drain oil, Be sure to remove oil filler cap (under seat) as this will aid in the oil flow as it drains. Another trick is leave oil filter off, replace oil drain line back on dummy plug replace clamp and fill oil reservoir. Leave oil filter off, place shallow pan beneath the spot where oil filter mounts and start bike. Watch oil as it flows from where oil filter mounts into shallow pan waiting till oil runs clean, (approx a minute) flushing out all black dirty oil from lines and engine ensuring 100 percent clean oil!! Shut off bike, clean any oil spills, attach new oil filter, fill oil reservoir to proper level and you're done! Reassemble and it's riding time!! Hope this helps!

The dealer has a website (not available to public) on a Kia only computer which will give the key code and it then has to be programmed into the vehicle with a Kia scanner. Sorry, you can't do this yourself.
