What are the steps to replace a front door latch on the driver side?Joe - 2002 Kia Rio - Body & Interior - 12/14/2010The driver side front door latch is stuck down. If I try to pull it up its not easy, and when I played with it using the key from the outside it would come up but the door will not open. Is Kia part # 0K30A59311 the correct front door latch I need to replace?-
12/14/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorTo get access to the door latch lock assembly, you need to remove the door panel but i can't find the manual for your car. The available door panel removal is for Kia Optima and hopefully will be helpful to you in performing this task.

PANEL BACK LIGHT TO THE SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T LIGHT. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS HAVE BEEN EXAMINED.floyd - 2006 Kia Spectra - Body & Interior - 11/29/2010All the time now. no other check lights come on. Kia parts dealer gave a small bulb to replace, but the interial speedometer cluster panel inside does not give any location for this bulb, like it does for the check lights. Failure is specfic to the speedometer ...-
11/29/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorPossibility is there's a high resistance in the wiring. A continuity test should be performed using an ohmmeter or multitester. Voltage specification should be check and inspect the battery connections if loose and the wiring connecting to the panel if it has a grounded wire.
12/31/2010 floydI'm being told by a speedomoter repair shop that the inside of the electronic board has a series of sodered bulbs, repair or replacement of board ranges from 200 to 400.00 dollars. Any additional options.

Why wont my dash and dome lights not work? and my horn wont honk?br549 - 2004 Kia Amanti - Body & Interior - 11/9/2010I have checked the fuse panel under the steering column but didn't find any bad fuses.-
11/9/2010 MOONSTER_TOOLZConduct a continuity test using a tester; an open circuit may be the cause of this that prevents the accessories to perform function. Check also the condition of the fuse box; the presence of dust in it may prevent the current flow; insert firmly the fuses or replace them if necessary.

The Power Door lock on the rear passenger will not openmbuccieri - 2000 Kia Sephia - Body & Interior - 10/16/2010mileage is 198,885. The rear passenger door will not unlock. When the power lock is activated from the drivers door, you can hear it unlock but the door will not open. I have had a friend who is a good mechanic and he could get the door open. The interior door ...-
10/16/2010 Nissan Technical AdvisorExamine the latch lock cable if bent or the spring is not returning. Possible cleaning this will release the binding. It is also possible that the latch lock assembly itself is defective that may need to be replaced.
Since you said that your friend is a good mechanic and is good and fixing defective door locks, you can ask your friend for some help.

Why does water drip from under the passenger dash unto the floor when the air conditioner is on?Kathleen Joseph - 2004 Kia Sedona - Body & Interior - 10/9/2010we thought maybe it is condensations however it is a large amount of water that comes out from under the passenger dash-
10/9/2010 HouseCallAutoIt is wtr condensation because the drain is clogged with debris. Compressed air will clear it by finding the drain hose that is on the outside of the lower firewall area just on the other side of the ac housing and directing the air stream up into the hose. There is no other explanation.
10/9/2010 Kathleen JosephThank You sooo much....

Air bag light is on but car has never been in an accident noticed after i replaced the altenatorEric - 2001 Kia Optima - Body & Interior - 10/4/2010-
10/4/2010 DrkShdw983It means there is a problem with the SRS (aka air bag) system. Sometimes when alternators fail the last thing they do before quitting is send out a surge of electricity. If that surge was small enough to make it past the fuse but large enough to do damage to one or more components of the SRS system than that light will come on. If you go to your local autozone or advanced auto parts store than they should be able to read the trouble code for you and tell you exactly what's going on and what you need to do to fix it. Good luck!
