Sportage 2001 Repair manual

senseifreedom · 09-04-2008, 12:33 AM

Does anyone know where i can get this? I need it because i recently got a used 2001 Kia sportage which for some reason the air doesn't turn on at all. The previous owner took it to the mechanics multiple times and they would fix it but it would stop working again after a month or so. Also any tune ups i can do myself that you recomend would be good but keep in mind im short on cash lol
Thanks in advanced guys

You can get a factory service manual through Helm, Inc. Give them a call at 1-800-782-4356, or go to helminc.com
Your window problem is a fairly common one. Try searching the forum.

Helm doesn't list anything for KIA.

Ok i would like to know if any of you have had the window problem before and if you think that its a problem i can fix myself, same thing with the A/C it just seems like no electricity reaches the ac so maybe a fuse if there is any?

Not real sure about a Sportage, but I have a Rio that the air quit blowing cold and upon checking the compressor wasn't kicking in. It was the relay, took it out and gently removed the cap with a knife, you have to pry it off. Then sprayed it out with contact cleaner making sure the contacts were clean. Replaced it and so far every things cool (pun intended). All in all I dislike the relays on KIA's so far I've had to replace 3, good thing is they're all the same.

Know where i can find a step by step guide to trouble shoot the A/C?
Or the window that doesnt move for that matter.
