Hey so I just bought a mechanics special 2012 Kia Soul. I just wanted to post some of the things that I’ve noticed are wrong with the car.
door locks- the hatch will not open unless the front passenger side door and the rear drivers side door are unlocked. The button on the door locks but won’t unlock unless you do it manually. The key on the drivers side door is very tight you have to jingle it and thrust it just right for her to unlock. The fob doesn’t work and it’s a brand new battery.
heat not working - my heat isn’t working I’ve pulled apart the glovebox and taken apart the knobs. Tested the wiring into the knob and discovered it was burnt. Changed the fuse got power to the knob but still no heat.
I suspect the wiring is messed up throughout the whole car but really apparent in the door locks and heat. The heat problem I think is the fan motor and that’s not something I know how to do. Has anyone done this before? is it a simple fix that I can order the part and do it myself or should I take it to Kia and get them to diagnose it and repair it for me?
