How do you replace the 15 amp room fuse on the 2004 KIA Spectra?

This is the only fuse in the instrument fuse panel with a plastic shroud around it. It's difficult to see if it's blown, but if your radio and interior lights won't work, make sure you check this fuse! Pull out the shroud with the fuse until it stops. Using something like needle nose pliers, squeeze both legs of the shroud at the same time toward the middle, where the fuse is. It'll come out. But that's only half the battle, because it was difficult to get the fuse itself out of the shroud. Using the same needle nose pliers, work open the top of the shroud just enough for the little bumps to be clear of the top of the fuse. Push up on the metal terminals of the fuse to bring the fuse out of the top of the shroud.

Now for the next question, why does this fuse have this plastic protection around it??

How do you adjust the clutch on a Kia Spectra?

  • Check the level of the clutch fluid in the Kia Spectra's reservoir that's located in the rear left of the engine bay. The Kia Spectra actually used the brake master as its source of fluid for the clutch. Add fluid to the recommended level if it's low, then pump the clutch pedal to restore the pressure in the line. If the fluid level doesn't remain the same, you might have a leak in the system. Replace or repair any leaking parts.

    Adjust the height of the clutch pedal by turning the knob at the top of the pedal of the Kia Spectra. This changes the point at which the pedal engages. Test the pedal and tighten the adjuster knob when you are done.

  • 3

    Bleed the clutch to remove any air bubbles from the system. Open the bleeder valve that's located on the slave cylinder (near clutch housing) and insert a tube. Put the other end of the tube into a clear container with clutch fluid. Pump the clutch pedal until you don't see any air bubbles in the container. Replace the fluid in the brake master cylinder.

    Inspect the components of the Kia Spectra's clutch: the flywheel, pressure plate and disc. Replace the clutch components if they're worn.

How do you reset the OBDII drive cycle for a 2002 Kia Spectra?

Kia shares engineering designs with several mfg. Because of this, they do not publish drive trace info. Us ethe following options when setting Kia readiness: Early models (use Mazda drive trace): Pre-reqs: -clear codes, fuel fill between 15 and 85 %, all accessories off, cold start (prefer 8 hour cold soak engine between 68 and 86 deg. F) -start vehicle and idle for 5 min -rev engine in neutral or park to 2300-2700 rpm for 15 sec -rev engine in neutral or park to 3800-4200 rpm for 15 sec -idle engine for 20 sec with cooling fan stopped -accelerate to 52-55 mph, maintain speed in high gear for 1 1/2 min -deccelerate to 15 mph, drive for 13 min at speeds ranging from 15-35 mph -maintain a steady 25 mph for 5o sec Late models: use Hyundai drive trace -cold start (undefined by mfg), fuel fill between 15 and 85%, codes cleared, elevation below 8,000 ft -Note start time. you will need it later. Drive 2 min at 35 mph -stop and idle car 1 min -drive at 45 mph for 10 min, keeping rpms between 2000-2400 -deccelerate to 35 mph. selecting second gear, accelerate engine to 4000 rpm, and lift off throttle for 10 sec -repeat last step four more times -drive at 55 mph until 16 min have passed since starting drive trace. If time since start exceeds 20 min, evaporative monitor will not run. -Stop and idle car 4 mintip in throttle every min to change idle state. There is a universal drive cycle that requires checking car repeatedly with obd II readiness tool, so you may want to leave that to your mechanic.

Where is the ac condensation drain located on 2006 Kia Spectra?

The drain hose is located under the dash to the left of the glovebox. Remove the two or three screws that hold the extended console trim in place. You may have to pull the carpet back some. Remove or pull the trim back so you can reach your hand behind it. If you cannot see the drain hose feel for it on the floor. If you need to replace pull the drain from the floor and loosen the clamp attaching it to the condenser. Often times if you squeeze the drain hose in several places the blockage will clear itself and continue to work fine for years. Try the squeezing method while the ac is running or just after shutting ac and car off. This way you'll also have the force of the backed up water to help force out any blockage

IF YOU ARE HEARING A SLOSHING SOUND FROM BEHIND YOUR DASHBOARD

, it may not be accumulated condensate in the exchanger box (this is the most common reason people try to clear the drain). The SLOSHING SOUND can also result from a low coolant level in the heat exchanger: the tubes are not full, so it sloshes back and forth on turns. Try filling both radiator and overflow bottle, and idle engine with radiator cap off to vent out air as the new coolant enters the exchanger. Run about 10 minutes, recap and test drive. Sloshing should be gone.

What could cause a whirring slight squeak sound coming from right front side of car 02 Kia spectra only when accelerating- not when breaking or riding along?

Hi, it sounds like a faulty wheel bearing on the passenger side (not a difficult repair), but could also be a CV joint although they usually click when worn out. Ray

1999 dodge Dakota sport 3.9l fuel filter location?

I have the same truck as you do, and I am sorry to say that this year model doesn't have an in-line fuel filter. You will have to replace the fuel pump which is located in the fuel tank. This part itself will run you around $250, not including the labor to drain and remove fuel tank :(

How often does the timing belt on 2003 Kia spectra needs to be replaced?

If you ask the dealer they say 60k miles. but if you read your manual it says 90k miles. the dealer is trying to replace it early for more money. it only needs to be replaced at 60k if you fall under the category of extreme driving. which is long idling, constant stop and go, excessive speeds, steep hills, ect.

also and i could be wrong but i think what the manual says if a suggestion. however i would not go much further then 90k but i think if your close it should be fine. i have 95k and i'm doing it next week. so wish me luck and hope i didn't wait too long.

also you can save money if you do it yourself. if you want to get everything like the tension pulley idler pulley and the water pump its cheapest to go to jcwhitney. it cost me 112 bucks

How do you adjust the headlights on a 2002 Kia Spectra?

Centered behind the headlight is a single screw used to adjust the headlight vertically. The one on the drivers-side is hard to get to because of the battery. You have to use a very short Phillips screwdriver to make the adjustment, or just remove the battery. If you're having trouble finding it, stand by the drivers-side fender and look at the back of the headlight - you might not be able to see it if you're standing in front of the car looking down.
