2001 Kia Spectra Turn signal problems
2001 Kia Spectra 1.8L A/C no sunroof. Turn signals don't come on at all. Tapping around the fuse box with a screw driver gets them to work fine, then they stop after a bit. I'm assuming "TNS" is the turn signals.
Should I replace the S/B fuse and the mini relay, or check the pin/connection tension first. If I unbolt the under-the-hood fuse panel, am I walking into a complete rewiring job? Or does it hold together well? I just don't want to create more problems than I have. Thank you in advance. |

Re: 2001 Kia Spectra Turn signal problems
Thank you. I found an aftermarket flasher relay under the dash with "custom" wiring. I checked the relay by repeatedly tapping it with a screwdriver while it was flashing, then realized the positive wire wasn't crimped properly. Stripped off heat-shrink, chopped out connector, new connector and heat-shrink, flasher works fine. I also stumbled across a burned up fuse (10A) titled "ROOM" on the legend of under hood fuses. Replaced that, so I guess the "ROOM" has power now. I'm just stunned that i couldn't find a single repair manual for a KIA anywhere in Waco. I'll have to look around Houston.
