Thank you. It was my first video and I didn't have a stand to hold my camera, but I'm glad it helped

Under the middle row seats

Not sure what you mean by the position light. Are you referring to the side marker light that is amber in color?

I just looked it up at autozone and found both. Neither are available but it does list them. Sorentos do have a high and a low pressure fuel pump. One in the tank and one on the top front of the engine. Direct injection engines need a high pressure pump, whereas regular (port) injection engines don't. The low pressure pump is in the gas tank. Maybe they are still hard to come by as I stated in my video unfortunately.

@@ballinthejack1841 Ahh ok, that explains it. It has both! Thx for the clarification.

Thank you

I would guess yes, but I don't know for sure. If the pump is located under the back seat/ on top of the gas tank, the process should be identical if not very similar.

I didn't see any gasoline leaks or any sign of recent/constant evaporization, it didn't smell around the gas cap, so I determined is was from the top of the tank. I knew that the main culprit was probably the pump since it is at the top of the tank. I then accessed the fuel pump from under the back seat to see what I could find. I couldn't see anything obvious, so I started the car to pressurize the fuel system and that's when I saw the leak from the pump.

@@sixpinyoda my 2020. Sorento. Cut off at the stop side. Wont start back on. So. I. Start working on it. And. I found. That the fuel pump relay is bad. But. The all fuse box needs to be replaced. I will upload the video. In my channel. 😀

Yes

My symptom was simply a gas smell. The fuel pump worked just fine, it was the crack that developed at the hose connection that let gas vapors escape, that caught my attention.

Glad I could help!

I don't know the history of how these have held up. Luckily, motors don't usually break, it's the other parts around them.

You can totally do it yourself. If you don't already have a wrench to move the tensioner, most part stores will loan tools for free

I'll look into it. I assume you are referring to how to change headlight fuses?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I only bought one gallon of coolant concentrate and one gallon of demineralized water. That, mixed together, was enough. I just looked up the manual and it says capacity is 1.9 gallons for the automatic.

Thanks for your comment. First, I want to point out that I specifically mentioned in the video that the viewer should pick their own coolant. Everyone has their own opinion on what's best. Second, in reference to the coolant I used, it is phosphate, silicate and nitrate free. The color is fluorescent yellow, which can look like green. Everyone should realize that Kia doesn't make coolant, nor does any other carmaker. They just rebrand it. What matters, more than the brand, is that the coolant you use meet the requirements of the automaker, because engines are different. I checked my owner's manual today to be sure and I found that Kia only calls for ethylene glycol based coolant and no tap water. That's it. It says I can even use soft water. It doesn't say anything about silicate or borate free. Maybe your engine is different; I have the 3.3L. So the coolant I used meets the requirements my owner's manual calls for and then some. By the way, the color of coolant means nothing with respect to it's chemical composition. It's just a dye. Read your owner's manual to see the coolant specs. Your point is valid though in that people shouldn't just pick any coolant. There are differences and people need something that is designed for their engine.

@@ballinthejack1841 The colors I mentioned are as given by the dealer parts counter man, and that’s how they reference them as easy identifiers that are synonymous with the different chemical make up of each. Remember their are hybrids and other technology in their line up that require the different coolants. I didn’t say they make the coolant, but they authorize it’s branding and specify it’s chemical make up. Add that to the fact KIA has engine troubles with various models and have extended the warranty on them, but they have used failure to maintain as an excuse. Having that receipt and proof of genuine coolant purchased may help prove proper maintenance have been done with correct supplies. I know you said pick your own coolant. I was specifically mentioning to other KIA owners that they need to get the coolant called for their vehicle, and at the very least, without those listed chemicals, which have been shown to be detrimental in the long term for engines.

@@GNX157 I don't disagree with your approach. People should know though that you can have two different coolants that are the same color and have different chemical makeups. It's better to read the bottle or website. I totally understand your point to cover your butt with Kia and it makes it easy to show that you used their coolant. There is a federal law in the US though that states that if car makers demand a specific item used for maintenance (like saying you have to use Kia coolant or you're screwed) they have to provide it free of charge. I used to know the name of the law. This means that legally, as long as you follow the maintenance schedule and use coolant with the required properties, they can't blame it on you for using a name brand coolant. And since my owner's manual only says to use ethylene glycol based coolant, that's all I have to use to be covered. I think we are of the same opinion basically, but "texting" can skew intent.

@@ballinthejack1841 I’m not even sure myself of when, but back in 15-16, KIA might not of even known borates and silicates would be bad for cooling systems, just like how Dexcool turned out to be bad. Even though the manual doesn’t mention it, it’s a good idea to try and avoid them.

I used Zerex Asian Vehicle for my Kia vehicle Silicate and Borate free. It's the same coolant as the Japanese car makers use like Toyota and Mitsubishi.

Glad it helped

Sorry if I didn't make it basic enough for you. I'll break out the crayons, lol

I'm sorry for the late reply, but this is the first opportunity I've had to look into it. It's been a while but I did confirm I used a 4-40 tap

Glad it was helpful!

I couldn't access your picture. I would think that the Australian model wouldn't be any different, but I've never seen a car from there. I will say that I have found on my other cars that it can be hard to turn. It's as if they are stuck. It could also be that someone changed the bulb before and messed it up. Go purchase a bulb if you haven't already. If the bulb has the same tabs (the bulb base where it screws in) as the one in my video, then you know it comes out the same way. That means you will just have to use more muscle to unscrew it.

@@ballinthejack1841 Thanks for your reply, I managed to get it out. It was stuck firm, I used a u shape metal rod allowing me leverage to unscrew the globe. I'm now able to screw it in and out by hand.

Yeah, I've thought about that, but then I realized that not everyone is like me. Some people need more explanation. For those that are like me, there is fast forward.

There is an extended fuel pump warranty, up to 60K miles🤑 Check it out with Kia service dept.

That literally depends on your preference. The basic rule would be to replace both at the same time. Because if one burnt out, the other might closely follow. Plus, they are sold in pairs, so why not? On the other hand, replacing one has zero negative effects on the electrical system. So you might want to get the max usage out of your bulbs since they aren't cheap and replace them as they burn out. This is totally acceptable too. So it comes down to your preference. There is no right answer in this case. I replace mine as they burn out, but that is my preference.

That's funny. I guess cuz it's 3 am

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not getting notifications for some reason. I bought Duralast Gold Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set DG1815 from Autozone

Yes. The number of pulleys and their locations will be different, BUT the basic idea will be the same. 1. Look for a tensioner similar to the one shown here 2. Draw out the path of the belt around the pulleys 3. Loosen tensioner and remove belt

Lol, I understand. Me too. Good thing to say though for people who haven't.

Mine aren't LED, but that doesn't mean the way they go in are different.

@@ballinthejack1841 sorry I meant HID I get it

Glad I could help!

You're welcome 😊

You made my day
