Ihave a Kia Sorento XS 2003. The hand book says it has air con but i have followed instructions but only get air at outside temp. Is it not working or does it need repair?
Start the engine and set the A/C on max cold with air set to recirculate and blower on high. Open the hood and look on the bottom-right (as you stand in front of the vehicle) for the A/C compressor. It has two hoses coming out of it and an electric clutch on the front. If the front portion of the pulley is not turning, the A/C is not working. You may have a refrigerant leak which has dropped the pressure below the preset limit controlled by a sensor in the system. You will need to locate the leak and repair/recharge the system with R-134A refrigerant.

None of those would be fixed by replacing the battery. Or did you replace the battery and then all of those stopped working?
You can tell of blade fuses are blown if you full them and hold them up to the light. That is a whole lot of stuff not working. I would say you need a good auto-electrician.
The fuse box is located behind the cover below the driver's side of the instrument panel. The location of the fuses in the passenger compartment: KIA Sorento ( ...
Its in the bonnet, on the right hand side (facing the front of the car) towards the windscreen under a black cover with 2 clips. It's removable and easily replaced. I find it unlikely that it needs replacing however. A more likely reason is the fuse for the glow plugs which is in the driver side footwell. (On a right hand drive car). The car book which came with the car details where all these items are.

Are you sure it's running cold? Maybe you just have a bad gauge lead or sender?
If you have a gauge you can check things out by grounding the lead going into the temp sensor on the motor. If you can't find it get a service/repair book from the parts store for reference.
If you ground the gauge and it goes full hot than the gauge is fine. Next you need to ohm the sensor and see if its reads a closed circuit on a warmed up motor. If not, your sensor needs replacement.
i suggest you get a Chilton repair owners book.Or go to your local library.Chilton will show you with good pics and easy to follow steps. hope i pointed you in the right direction
I have a 2007 Kia Sorento EX. I had a similar problem. I checked for leakage in the nozzle. The nozzle was repaired and I refilled gas. This resolved the cooling problem.
You can switch the temperature mode between Fahrenheit to Celsius as follows: While depressing the AUTO button, depress the OFF button for 3 seconds or more. The display will change from Fahrenheit to Celsius, or from Celsius to Fahrenheit."
