Hello I have a 2002 Kia Sportage that a new battery will go dead in 24 hours. If I remove the FUEL PUMP RELAY or take the INJ FUSE out, then the battery will stay up to normal power. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe

Replying to: romadoor (Apr 01, 2008 6:55 pm) it takes +12V from the Main relay....so this relay would have to be ON in the first place. Then the f.p. relay coil takes it ground side from the computer...so it would mean something weird on that side too....both at same time a very low probability. circuit The INJ fuse in fact cuts 12V to a lot of things, including the feed to the fuel pump relay power contact, which is then HOT at all times. My guess is the fuel pump relay is stuck..power contacts are welded. YOu could test that by removing the relay and testing the relay with an ohm meter or with a continuity tester between contacts 1 and 5. They are probably shorted. Change the f.p. relay. (a frequent culprit).

Replying to: romadoor (Apr 02, 2008 7:01 pm) YOu mean the ground side of the fuel pump relay coil is grounded permanently ? Some one or the factory put a jumper across the relay output to the coil I remove IT and the car will not start. WHich relay? We are still talking the F.P. relay? " IT" means the jumper of the relay? THis is not clear....don't understand. Anyway, this looks like patchwork.... Check action of the MAIN relay first when you turn KEY ON. Follow the diagram for testing where and when +12V and ground are applied to relay coils. When you describe your tests, mention relay name, diagram pin numbers and wire color to report your findings.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me where the fuel filter is located on a 2002 KIA Sportage 4x4? I can't seem to find a diagram anywhere, and it isn't listed in my book. Any help you can provide is GREATLY appreciated. I see you can purchase a fuel filter, I just need to know where to put it! Thanks, Sheri

Replying to: sheri664 (Apr 05, 2008 4:46 am)  This is in engine compartment, bolted on right hand frame low below battery (if you have battery on right hand side, of course; right hand drive models have battery on the left) I have checked mine for a better idea.. Honest.....I did not remember seing it....went to www.kiatechinfo.com (you can register for free for a lot of first hand info). then had a look at mine..had to peek for several seconds before finding it ...I think I would remove battery to get better access, of may be from the wheel well after removing tire..... Is this simply preventive maintenance or is there a problem you think might be linked to filter ? mine is a 2000 with 62000 miles and no problem there (but I do not know of previous maintenance as I bought it at 42k miles) and will wait until necessary, I dont like the location  ...ahhh..and I just found my fuel tank was leaking again....

My daughter's '02 Sportage has been experiencing intermittent problems with the power window system lately. Specifically, the left rear window will lower when the switch on the driver's door is depressed, but then won't come back up when either the driver's door switch or left rear door switch is pulled up. Repeatedly activating the switch may or may not eventually get the window to close. Am I looking at a switch problem, a regulator (motor) problem, or a relay problem? And where are the relays, anyway? Thanks in advance. Tim Colburn Park Forest, IL |
