Where is turn signal flasher located on kia sportage 2014

The turn signal flasher on a 2014 Kia Sportage is typically located in the vehicle's fuse box. The exact location of the flasher will depend on the specific make and model of your Sportage, but it is generally located near the steering column or under the dashboard.
Here are the steps to locate the turn signal flasher:
  1. Locate the fuse box: The fuse box in a Kia Sportage is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle.
  2. Identify the flasher: Once you have located the fuse box, look for the turn signal flasher, which is typically a small, rectangular box with two or three wires connected to it.
  3. Test the flasher: Once you have found the flasher, you can test it by turning on the hazard lights and checking to see if the flasher is clicking. If it is not clicking, the flasher may be faulty and will need to be replaced.

My KIA Sportage has lots of loose play in the steering and tends to wander at high speed. Has been checked by mechanic and re-aligned. Mechanic says I've been spoilt by rack and pinion steering and just...

FIND ANOTHER MECHANIC!!!!!!!! No REAL mechanic would tell you that. Your steering should have NO play in it. (Over time a little) Have your steering box checked

Where is computor located on 2001 kia sportage

The connector, to plug in a scanner, to read the computer is located just under the dashboard edge on the right side of the steering column. I think the computer module is the silver metal box located under the dash attached to the firewall just to the left of the steering column.

The radiator thermostat may be stuck. I've had that before. Just about any auto part store should have an employee that can help if you need it. Its a quick and easy fix/replacement. You'll definitely want to check your radiator coolant level as well.
