the problem might the fan resistor which is what regulates and selects the different fan speeds for heater and aircon

9 out of 10 times its the heater fan resistor doing this. it has wires that corresponed to diffreent speed settings for heater fan. the resistor is beside the blower motor, Your Kia Sportage Blower Motor Resistor controls the heating equipment in the vehicle by opening and closing the fan motor. The Kia Sportage Blower Motor Resistor allows the heating and climate control system to control the speed of the vehicle's cooling fan. its under the passenger side glove box. undo 2 screws and disconnect the electrical connector. thats it!!

Hi,

The resistor block, that controls the speed of the fan motor is not functioning or worst it is already broken.

Better have that resistor block replace in the neares garage or in your dealer where the parts will be readily available.

Hope that helps you out!

The KIA Sportage needs the temp controller switch turned to the heat/defrost side AND you need to hit the Air Conditioner Condenser button on the dash that look similar to a recycle symbol. It is not the same as the switch next to it that is a recirculate cabin air symbol. The button you want, normally turn green when activated in combination with the fan being turned on.

I assume all the belts are on the vehicle, alternator, power steering,etc. If so than you have a bad fan clutch and it time for a new fan.

Blower motor is over on passenger side, check for voltage at harness easy to get to, if voltage there replace blower motor. Bad news dealer item only. I replace them quit a bit here in Texas,

You most likely have air in the cooling system.You would need to bleed the cooling system of air.There should have bleed screws near water neck,or thermostat.Do this cold.Remove the radiator cap and fill full.Then start the engine and loosen the screws and watch for nothing but coolant to flow out(no air or bubbles).When you are sure the air is gone out of the cooling system,shut the bleeder screw off,and fill radiator up and test to see that engine runs cool,and you have heat at all speeds and rpm s.The electric cooling fan should come on at a tempuratue of about 215 or so.But just as important,the cooling fan should cut off at a lower tempurature.If the cooling fan does not do this,you still have air in the system.If you can not get the air out this way,then do this.Remove the radiator cap and reservoir cap and fill them both up full.The reservoir needs to be over the fill mark a good deal.Replace the caps.Start the engine with ac and heat off.Let it run until the engine gets to about 212 or 215 degrees and shut the engine off.Wait about 30 minutes and check the reservoir to see if the coolant has dropped.It should have dropped.If the reservoir has dropped or not ,do this again and again untill the reservoir drops in coolant level,and engine temp is good(fan goes on and goes off).Remember to refill the reservoir as needed as it drops,not to run out of coolant.

the radiator fan is mounted to the clutch, in other words remove the bolts / nuts that is holding the fan assembly to the water pump usually just four nuts once you pull the fan assembly the part that yo seperated from the water pump is the clutch, now remove the fan blades and mount thm on the new clutch assembly the piece which mounts tt the water ump is the fan clutch
