Hello, While trying to install LED bulbs for my dome and truck lights one of my fuses blew. I pulled out the fuse in question (20A) But the problem was that some of its teeth were still stuck in the fuse box. So I need to pull them out or just replace the fuse box itself. The problem is idk...

Hey there, I have a 2015 Kia Soul! with 52k miles on it. I took it in for maintenance to get the oil and filter replaced. I also had to get the automatic transmission fluid exchanged, and a GDI injection service. Then I had to buy a new battery somewhere cheaper. I paid about 600 bucks...

My girlfriend's 2016 Kia Soul 2.0L with 96k miles has been acting sluggish lately and a noticeable loss of power. The car struggles to get up to speed limit on highways. We took her car to the dealership today and they said she has a clogged catalytic converter and intermediate pipe...

Fun DIY project tinting the taillights on my 2015 Kia Soul

Well, Back in November, I had my Sway bar links, Passenger side Control arm and ball joint, and all the pads and rotors done on my car. The Brakes have had to be REDID, and now the Control Arm and Ball joint had to be redone as well. Lesson Learned, NEVER let a used car lot do the work on...

I can only find info for older models. And i also saw conflicting information about which mtf to put in because kia changed the recommended fluid? Can you change the fluid without lowering the car from jackstands? i only have those plastic ramps. Any information is appreciated.

I just discovered rather accidentally, and then figured out the particulars to force the transmission controller in my 2018 KIA Soul (Turbo with the Dual Clutch Transmission) to self calibrate the clutch touch adjustment. Normally this is done at a dealer using the KDS diagnostic tool. If...

Good day all, Since no installation instructions are provided with the strut bar if one were to purchase it, I've decided to do a short write-up on how to install it in order to make things simple. Tools you will need: - Small flathead screwdriver or knife - 14 mm hex nut socket with rachet...

My 2012 Kia Soul + 2.0 L needs new steering (MDPE) coupler. I have bought the coupler from dealer and tried to replace it myself. I have watched some videos of Sonata and Forte replacements.. but could not find any for Kia Soul. I have removed 2 nuts under the steering but could not drop the...

Hi there! I have a 2015 Soul Base model. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, have had the car almost 3 years and use the AC about 5-6 months out of the year. It has started blowing intermittently warm air when I have the AC on. I'm thinking the refrigerant needs to be refilled, but I'm trying...

Hey guys. The check engine light is on in my 2014 Soul EX. Pulling code P0461 -- Fuel Level Sensor. As far as I can tell, the actual gas gauge is working fine (i.e., it's reading full when I fill up, and slowly drops to empty as I drive throughout the week). It's done this before (same code)...

I am a new Soul owner (2 weeks) I have always done my own oil changes on past cars. I just took a quick look under her today. im getting old and getting on the ground takes a little effort lol. Anyway I noticed that plastic cowling covering the filter and oil pan I did see the cutouts for the...

So i live in ny and now part of getting an inspection is checking window tint. My front door windows are a little to dark to pass so i have to remove it to pass. I like my 50 tint and my choices are paying a guy another 100 bucks a year to redo it. Or try some of that pre cut diy tint for 15...
