Check for frayed ground strap engine to frame or hot cable battery to solenoid. How do you know starter is getting current? Measured it or what?

hello. i am not a mechanic but maybe our cure for our kia would help someone else. our 2000 kia wouldnt start, the lights and everything would come on but it wouldnt turn over. we replaced starter, battery, etc. finally my husband just paid our mechanic $130 and we bypassed the starter with a manual push start button. now when it doesnt want to start i just hit the button (after i turn on the key) and it starts every time!

The fuse box may have gone bad and your getting electrical shorting. Check the fuse box under the hood that may have gone bad and may need to be replaced, look for corrosion where the fuse goes into and the wire harness. Don't know if you had your car since new, but there are a lot of cars from the Katrina Hurricane that was under water and the electrical system have major corrosion that should just be showing up now. Good luck and keep me posted

Hi the problem could be with the key fob as these are programmed to start the car and if their is a fault with this then the car sort of goes into safe mode so as to stop the car being stolen.
If you had another key without the fob then this key wouldnt start the car unlesst you had the fob with it.
The only way of testing this is by going to the main dealer and they have a way of testing it.
These key fobs can be expensive to replace but will solve your problem.
Let me know if you need further assistance ok

you can get to it but it is hard without removing converter it is on the backside of the engine underneath the intake manifold you will have to remove the intake manifold support bracket but two of the bolts come threw the other side of transmission
