Problem did not start until 20 degree nights. I have to hit the bottom of the fan housing underneath the glove compartment to get the heater to come on. It will work for a little while and then turn off and I have to do it all over again. Maybe something stuck in it? Or maybe it is not getting enough juice or the flow of juice is interrupted. I do not have the manual that goes with my car to see if there is a cabin air filter that may be blocking the flow? Any advise? I also do not have money so expensive trouble shooting is not an option.
Either blower motor is bad or blower motor resistor. Does it work on all speeds?
When it comes on it works in all speeds. When it does not come on none of the speeds work. The rear defrost always works. Once I bump the bottom of the fan housing it will work fine.
It sounds like the blower motor to me. The resistor would cause certain speeds to go out. Messing with the controls or jiggleing the knobs does nothing when it is inop.
Thank you for your help.
Your welcome
Quick question. Is there a way to test the blower motor before spending $50.00 on a new one?
You already have. Beat on it. Its just like any fan. If it stops give it a bump and it works. If it works on all speeds but only sometimes and messing with the knobs does nothing its the blower. Can you see an elevtrical connector on the outside of heater?
Yes from what alldata shows me it bolts in with 3your screwa going straight up into the heater box and the electrical is right on the bottom. What i would do is but one and plug it into the connector sit it on the floor and see what it does. If it doesnt work take it back and you didnt need it and never used it.

SOURCE: 2000 kia sephia won't start
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!

I had the same problem, but only when it rained. There was a crack in the ignition coil unit and the water was creating an arc. When I drove long enough to heat the engine and evaporate the water it would run fine. Strangely, though, I still had to stop and restart the engine. $150 bucks the replace the ignition coil, and now no problems (at least with that)

Your problem is on the fan speed switch on the dash board. You can get it from the dealer for $50.00 or you can get the whole control assembly with all the switches from a junk yard for about $50.00. I had the same problem and that's what I did.
Good luck.

The problem might be in the fuse box. I had this similar problem on my highbeams. My soluion was to wiggle the fuse box and or wires going to the motor. Its basically a short.

You open the glove box, drop down the glove box door. There will be a slim panel behind the glove box that needs to be removed. Remove that panel and voila! That's where your cabin air filter is at. It's easy to do.
Behind the glove box. Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6234839-doesn_t_heater_or_air_conditioner_blow . These are generic instructions. If you get stuck, please get back to me.
