Q: Does the 2004 Kia Sedona suppose to have doors that automatically lock when car is put into drive?
We have a 2004 Kia sedona, and the doors don't automatically lock when put into drive like other cars I have driven. We have to actually push the lock button to lock all the doors when we are driving. I have looked in the manual, and have found nothing. Thanks in advance!!

A: According to the Kia Sedona web site, yes, it does--today, at least. In 2004, it may have been different. If yours aren't working, take it in; locking your doors is one of the easierst and best safety steps you can take, for several reasons. Owner's manuals are notorious for not telling you what you really need to know!

Q: Where do I find detailed instructions on how to service the A/C on my KIA Sedona?
My KIA is a 2001 and is just blowing hot air out of the vents when I turn on the A/C. Help please!!

A: If the compressor doesn't come on when you turn a/c on you are low on refrigerant. You may have a leak but it may just need refrigerant. An '01 that hasen't been serviced before may just need a bit of refrigerant. You can get a recharge kit at auto supply. It uses r134A. The kit comes with instructions. Be sure engine is idling, a/c is on high and all windows are open before attempting to charge. You are working with possible 100 + psi. Watch the belts and fans, they can get you if you are careless.

Q: Kia Sedona Alternator problems?
Hi, we have a 2002 Kia Sedona that has 69,000 miles on it. It was a great vehicle until Valentine's day when we had a blizzard. It was parked in our garage, but the storm was too much, blew snow up in the engine. At first all the "idiot" lights would come on, and the headlights blew out. We just thought the lights got snow in them. It did it a second time, so the mechanic changed the alternator. Now, its doing it again! We are so lost and confused...has anyone else ever heard of this?

A: u have moisture in the electrical components put a space heater on the engine and let it sit.
