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 |

Replying to: romadoor (Apr 06, 2008 6:33 pm) The computer uses its logic to turn ON a "driver" transistor that makes the ground connection. This transistor can be shot, or the logic has failed. some ECM's can be opened to replace discrete transistor, I do not know a bout ths one. Anyway, your "bypass" relay is a good option |

The injectors have no signal. The garage put a new fuel pump in it,no change. They put a different computer in it,no change. Checked fuses and relays, all seem ok. Any help email me jluce74 hotmail.com Thanks,Jason
