How do you get 2004 kia sorento in 4wd

I found this info, click on the link. This may be a tough diy? The bearing may need to be pressed out and the new one pressed in.

Check grounds and power to the module. If good, replace the module. The module is with the motor above the head liner.

I believe your transmision gone bad and needs replacment or rebuild, Unless this a 4wd modelSsorento, if so, you have your 4wd turn on and on the low 4wd side in Lx models if this is a 4wd sorento ex, equipped with the auto/low 4wd knob. You might have the knob, or accidently shift the knob to the (low 4x4) position, and if you do, then the car is set only to run on the first gear for max tranction and to prevent your differential from overheating. This knob is located on your left side of the steering wheel, and if turned to the 4wd postion, it needs to be in the auto or 2wd poistion.

i haven't solved this yet but eventually 4wd wil not engage

THE KIA SORENTO HAS 3.3 AND 3.8 ENGINES THEY HAVE TIMING CHAINS.THE KIA 2.4 ENGINES HAS TIMING BELT GUIDE PLATE.

make sure you have a good brand breaker bar(lifetime warranty best), the proper sized socket(impact type), and either an old bumper jack that fits over the breaker bar or a 5 to 6 foot fence post. leave the whole vehicle on the ground, if you cant reach nut with wheel on, then have a helper stomp on the brakes firmly while you put breaker bar at nine oclock, slip jack or post over breaker bar and firmly add your weight and a friends to the end of bar pushing down until SOMETHING gives, hopefully its the nut. :)

I also have an 04 Sorento and LOVE it. I live in northern indiana where it is super cold in the winters and just this year my truck started squealing when temps got low and when the heat is on. My dad has also changed the belts, even though they looked fine. that didn't fix the problem. I was searchng for some answers and it seems that many people are having this same issue with sorentos. Its super annoying and like you sid embarassing! I love my truck, but HATE this sound! if you find anything else out, please post! Thanks!

check oil level in transfer box first.this car is designed to come out of 4wd at around 21mph on its own. you may need to get electronic diagnostic machine check..

automatic trans. fluid DEXRON II.

The 1st time my 04 Sorento got stuck in 4WD low it was towed to dealership & they claimed it was the switch. Six months later, while on a camping trip, got stuck again. The local tow truck driver saved me hundreds of dollars in towing costs. Put it in reverse for at least 10-20 feet. That's it! He said that he found this to be a common problem. I later asked my dealership why they failed to mention this solution to me. They replied that they thought I knew! Spread to word!
