Check your battery first, make sure that it is fully charged. Less than 12.5 volts and the starter motor will struggle. With ignition on, bridge the solenoid, and the red starter motor connection. At 120k miles, starter motor or solenoid could well be on the way out or needing new brushes. Oh, make sure that battery earth is sound, and engine earth to chassis is also a good rust free connection as well.

  • Lift up the hood of the car and secure it on its support rod.
  • Locate the bolts that attach the headlight assembly to the car and remove them with a socket wrench. A 2006 Sedona, for example, has three bolts, which take a 10 mm socket .
  • Insert a screwdriver behind the headlight assembly and carefully pry up on it. There may be a plastic stud and socket system also attaching the assembly to the car
  • Disconnect the car's wiring from the light.
  • Replace the headlight assembly if this was your original goal. Install the new headlight assembly by reversing the above steps: attach the wiring, connect the studs/sockets and reattach the bolts.
  • Extract the light bulbs by manually unscrewing the attachment caps and undoing the retainer clips.
  • Install the new bulbs and secure them into place by refastening the clips and the caps.
  • Reconnect the wiring, the studs/sockets and the assembly bolts. Move on to the other headlight and repeat the process.

    SOURCE: fuel pump resetswitch on a 08 kia rondo?

    I don't believe the Kia line uses a fuel pump inertia switch. If it does have one the owners manual will list it and how to reset it. If you don't have an OM you can download one free here. Remember these switch are only tripped in a crash that exceeds 3G's

    I have a 2012 Kia Rondo. The cruise control light comes on but when trying to set it, it doesn't work. Is there a fuse that is needing replacement.

    Question edited for clarity and better English.

    The most common reasons a Kia Rondo cruise control isn't working are failed control module, sensor or switch issues, or throttle actuation problems.

    2007 kia rondo seems to use alot of gas

    I have the same issue of low gas mileage. My 2008 Kia Rondo with V6 (2.7Lt) gets 20-21 mpg in average. Even for highway mileage, it is around 21-22mpg. Very poor gas mileage. Disappointed. I hope it would improve in the future.
