Kia Sorento Heating and Air Conditioning
One of the three lights on the manual HVAC controls of our 2005 Sorento has gone out. I've found that 97309 3e000 is the part number for the bulbs on a 2004. Can anyone verify that that is the same part number for the 2005 model? More importantly, how do I get to the light??? I read one post that suggested there's a circuit board and soldering involved but I haven't determined if the whole control head needs to be removed or if the knob can be disassembled from the front. Has anyone actually replaced these bulbs? Thanks!

Normally a condition like this would be attributed to a low coolant level, but the coolant level is right where it should be.
Anyone else experience this? If so what was the fix?

My antifreeze is going low all the time, I do not know why! I suspect the radiator cap is bad. If the system does not hold pressure, the antifreeze will boil off. Keeping the fluid under pressure prevents it from boiling off. The cap is suppose to keep the system under pressure. If your cap were bad, I would think the system would have low pressure and hence, allow the antifreeze to boil off.
The heater in the Kia Sorento, with proper fluid levels should cause you to roll down the windows in sub-zero weather.
BTW, how's your dome lights, had the diode problem yet?
thank you
no matter how much antifreeze we put in it doesn't work. If we're driving after a while it works but. other then that you might as well run the a/c.
does any one know what the problem is??????
help :mad:
My wife has a 2003 Sorento EX.
She experienced the same trouble and they found the following and I was surprised.
The resevour tank apparently is pressurized in opposition to other makes where it is vented to the atmosphere. It sounded like the dealer was stretching when they told me she needed a new resivor. but walla that solved it. I t sound though that now that it is out of warranty I will be dropping big dollars when it happens again. Sounds like a persistant problem.
I have the exact same problem with my spectra 2005... do you have any information...?
all though i do not go to that dealer ship no more the gave me a run around for three weeks on this issue. hope that helps some
Or, you heater core could have a leak in it.
Just wondering you say it only works intermittenly at "high speed". At other speeds does the heater stay on and blow hot air?
If so, it is not the heater core or coolant per se, but a problem with your blower motor.
Could be any one of multiple causes.
My Kia is having the same problem. The warranty is out. Do you know how much the part was and how long did it take them to get the car back to you. Thanks for your help.">
this appears to be the part..did a search at just one online kia parts place....part runs about $100, assuming this is the correct one.....one say its a one day job, but probably depends on how much disassembly of the duct work and console they have to do......do the math at $90 an hour labor........the dealership should be able to look in their shop manual and give you a time estimate to replace it...

Had car in for a gear box refit and came back like this. Fuses seem ok, unit had both plugs fitted to rear.
Help - unexpected hot weather in Scotland and no A/C !!
Kia Sorento, 2.5D, 2004.
We just bought a used 2003 Sorento and the A/C went out. We replaced the A/C compressor and charged the system with the correct amount of freon and oil...it worked for 5-10 minutes and shut off. We are now thinking that the original A/C compressor wasn't bad at all. It's like something is shorting out or????? Please help if you can! We are in Texas in 108 degree weather!! Thanks so much!
1. On occation the AC will just quit putting out cold air, though the fan continues to blow (hot air)
2. On occation the Heater will just quit producuing hot air and cold air is being dispursed.
In addition, we have noticed that when breaking at night, the light will slightly go dim. Not sure if this is related, just FYI. My wife is very tenatious as to her up keep and regular maintenance of hr vehicle. With over 30 + days of triple digits, and winter nearing, I want to get this corrected ASAP. Any directions? I have read that AutoZone will do a diagnostic test and provide part replacement number.
