How do you remove the shift cable on a 2005 kia sorento lx, the main shift cable. What I'm trying to understand is where it links to the transmission G

1) Poor contact at the battery terminals with the cable connectors.
2) Bad fuse links
3) Dead battery

Check these things for the source of the problem.

This is one that you can stare at all day. the trim pieces that include the air vents (usually woodgrain) will come off and expose the screws that hold the radio in. They are held in by spring clips, a gentle pry will get you started. Here is a website that shows how to remove one for a cell phone mount: http://www.bracketron.com/main/xmain_landing_page.php You may have to take the climate controll screws out to get the radio out far enough to reach the plugs on the back. You should be able to figure out the rest. good luck, and be gentle.. the trim is getting cheaper and cheaper, and is really easy to break.
