A dim headlight probably has a poor connection - this is usually the result of corrosion in the headlight connector or the ground terminal. To fix this, remove the connector from the headlight and inspect the terminals on the headlight and inside the connector shell. If they appear dirty or tarnished, polish them (you may need to use Scotch-Brite or a similar light abrasive material). Next, trace the black or green wire to find the other end - generally it is attached with a sheet metal screw to a metal part of the body near the radiator. Remove the screw, polish any rust off of the body panel under the screw head, and polish the ring terminal on the end of the wire. Put it back together and coat the screw and terminal with grease or other protective compound to keep water out of the connection (do not coat the parts before putting it together unless the protective compound is specifically designed for electrical contacts).
Another common cause of dim headlights is deterioration of the plastic housing - there are a number of headlight polishing kits on the market to clear up the problem (pun intended :) ).
If the headlight is at full brightness, it may not be aimed in the correct direction. First, verify that the vehicle suspension is in good order; a sag or tilt will cause the problem. There are two or more spring-loaded screws in the headlight mount. To adjust, park on a level surface with the vehicle facing a wall or garage door. Turn on the lights, then adjust the aiming screws until the headlights are at the correct angle. You will probably have to fine-tune the adjustment after checking it on the road, so take along a screwdriver for the check. If you can get the aiming specifications from a service manual (e. g., Chilton's on Haynes manual; available at many car parts stores), you can adjust the beam spot more precisely.
change plugs and wires my kia had slow acceleration like loss off power thought it was clutch new plugs and wires solved this also us brake cleaner on cable for throttle
The problem is the alternator adjustment, it squeals because you have a rubber strap in touch with a metal wheel, so when it gets hot enough, the mechanism will have enough grip and will stop squealing. It gets even worse if you turn the A/C and/or the headlights on, because the car needs more electricity therefore, requiring more work from the alternator To solve this problem you have to loose the screw that holds the alternator, but only loose it to the point to be release, not disassembled, push it back until you get more tension to the belt and the wheel of the alternator and then hold it and thigh it back. You might want to do this on a brand new belt (just in case, besides, is not that expensive). I hope it helps, best regards.
It is in an incredibly tight location underneath the passenger headlight, directly behind the sidelight / indicator. Typically, the cables attach to the top of it. Looks like you have to remove the headlight to get to it - removing the foglight doesnt give you enough room.
Test for voltage to low beams. Often one light fails, and does not get noticed, then the 2nd one goes and misleads one to think something major has happened...
Sometimes they are hidden behind the headlights. it is located behind passengers head light. You will need to remove the grill, and headlight to reach it. The horn is only held in by one screw. It has one plug providing power. You may need to ground the horn when replacing it. It took me no more than 30 minutes to completely replace and reassemble using a universal horn off the shelf.
pls. be more specific in describing the problem/ door panel means the complete door/ u mean u took off the whole door to install speakers? or just the door trimboard?
