Replaced bumper cover and wheel well inner splash guards on my 2003 KIa spectra. There is more plastic guards under the front of the vehicle and it looks like I need more plastic in the wheel wells since the belts are somewhat exposed. Not sure what these plastic parts are called or where I can get them besides Kia. Any suggestions?

Hello, my name is Mario.

1. Disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Drain engine coolant
3. Remove bolt and nut for thermostat housing
4. Remove the old thermostat
5. Put a new thermostat and gasket (Install thermostat into cylinder head with jiggle pin positioned up.)
6. Place thermostat housing
7. Fill radiator with engine coolant
8. Connect battery negative cable
9. Start engine and check for leaks.

Good luck

it is probably the starter assuming the engine isnt locked up. I would check to see if you have battery voltage at the starters solenoid wire with the key in the start position if you do i would check the fuses and starter relay

It is attached to the bell housing on the drivers side. The starter is located in the back of the engine, under the intake manifold.

Helps to remove the battery, but small ahbds can do it.

Directly behind the lens is a big round cap ... twist it off. The bulb is held in place with a spring that locks in to a notch in the holder. When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause it to shatter when turned on.
