Hi BradFord96, well its very simple this car electrics REALLY SUCK!!! ive been having electric problems since when i bought it (2nd hand) but at lest thet are easy to fix ;-), my model is a 99 Kia Avella your equivalent of Ford Aspire, My problem was the actual instrumentation light switch! All i had to do is clean it seems who ever designed the switch never heard of wetting current!!
All i need to do to remove the wheel dash is to unscrew 2 screws and pull the top part as i hold the bottom part and vuola the steering +(the bloody hell multi-switch) is visible, if ur not so good at electronics I'd suggest removing the steering wheel, and removing the switch! then you need to identify the actual light switch! on my model its a white block about the size of a palm on just behind the indicator lever (the one which holds the rotating light switch too) i just removed it from the master switch (removed 3 screws), and (very carefully) dismantled it and cleaned it with a piece of 2000 fine sandpaper held by tweezers! note you must clean the contact touch area, DON'T GET ANY OIL/DIRT ON THE CONTACTS!!! just clean them, then reassemble and your good to go ;-)

It worked fine for me and it still is! if you need any more assistance juts e-mail me. id be pleased to help;-)
