Power Door Lock Operation
The vehicle is equipped with power door locks. Each lock actuator is powered and controlled by the door module mounted in the individual door, but the rear integration module (RIM), which is the master control for the door lock system, determines when the lock functions are permitted. The RIM receives and examines the requested lock function from the individual door modules, or from the remote function actuator (RFA) via the class 2 serial data circuit. The RIM also examines the transmission shift selector position and the ignition switch position information available over the Class 2 serial data circuits. If the RIM determines that a lock or unlock function is permitted, it sends a class 2 message back to the individual door modules commanding them to perform that Lock or Unlock function.
Power Door Lock Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
?€¢
Driver door lock switch

?€¢
Passenger front door lock switch

?€¢
LH rear door lock switch

?€¢
RH rear door lock switch

?€¢
LH middle door lock switch (w/ V4U)

?€¢
RH middle door lock switch (w/ V4U)

?€¢
Driver door switch assembly (DDSA)

?€¢

?€¢
Right middle door module (RMDM) (w/ V4U)

?€¢
Driver door lock actuator

?€¢
Passenger front door lock actuator

?€¢
LH rear door lock actuator

?€¢
RH rear door lock actuator

?€¢
LH middle door lock actuator (w/V4U)

?€¢
RH middle door lock actuator (w/ V4U)

?€¢
Driver door cylinder unlock switch

?€¢
Rear integration module (RIM)

?€¢
DRVMDL fuse (10-amp)

?€¢
PASS MDL fuse (10-amp)

?€¢
RRDR MDL fuse (10-amp)

?€¢
Class 2 serial data link

From where , any switch ? driver door switch or either passenger door switch . This is a very complex system controlled by modules (microprocessors)
?€¢
The driver door switch assembly (DDSA)

?€¢
The driver door module (DDM)

?€¢
The passenger door module (PDM)

?€¢
The rear door module (RDM)

?€¢
The LH front power door lock switch

?€¢
The RH front power door lock switch

?€¢
The LH front door lock actuator

?€¢
The RH front door lock actuator

?€¢
The LH rear door lock actuator

?€¢
The RH rear door lock actuator

?€¢
The remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR)

?€¢
The power door serial data circuit

?€¢
The class 2 serial data circuit

?€¢
The DRVMDL Fuse - 10 amp

?€¢
The PDM Fuse - 10 amp

?€¢
The RRINMDL Fuse - 10 a
Class 2 and Power Door Serial Data Links
The class 2 and power door data circuits are both serial data links. The serial data circuits replace cables in the vehicle by multiplexing (time-sharing) data to and from each device over a single wire referenced to ground. If the power door serial data is lost, both the rear door module (RDM) and the passenger door module (PDM) enters the sleep mode. With the RDM and the PDM in sleep mode, no power door operations are possible.
Your best bet is to take it to the dealer or an ASE certified repair shop .

I'm having the same problem except on mine it's the driver's side that's blowing cold. Do you have the pictures in a finer resolution? I can't make them out and when I zoom, they are too grainy. Does the replacement require removing the dashboard? What's the general cost of the acuators? Are they readily available at like NAPA or other parts stores?

seems to be a common problem on 03 kia's. most likely the latch mechanism is worn (they are mostly plastic and pretty cheaply made) and will need to be replaced. It happened to my kia and most mechanics directed me to the electric actuator, but all electircs were ok. drivers door latch went bad about 45k and front passenger door latch went bad about 65k.
