The window being off track has probably fouled or damaged the door handle mechanism. The videos for both jobs should help. It is messy in there with wax so wear latex or vinyl gloves.

Sounds like you have fuel pump issues. May need to replace the fuel pump. Does the check engine or service engine soon lights come on? That or maybe injectors, or something alone the fuel system line. First check would be fuel pump.

If the radio worked before replacing battery and alternator, check your wiring.

The stereo installation's weak connection is the most likely source of this problem. Make sure the wiring harness is secure by inspecting it. If it doesn't work, it could be necessary to disassemble the door panel to check that all the connections are made properly. If the wiring is correct, you might need to consult the vehicle's wiring diagrams to conduct additional troubleshooting.

If the white light on the lower right side of the instrument panel that normally comes on when you turn the key to start the engine is not illuminating, there may be an issue with the starting system in your 1999 Kia Sportage. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the battery: Make sure the battery is fully charged and its connections are clean and tight. If the battery is low or has a weak connection, it may not provide enough power to start the engine.
2. Check the starter: If the battery is good, check the starter. Listen for a clicking sound when you turn the key to start the engine. If you hear a clicking sound, the starter may be faulty and need to be replaced.
3. Check the ignition switch: If the battery and starter are good, the issue may be with the ignition switch. The ignition switch sends a signal to the starter to start the engine. If the switch is faulty, it may not send the signal, and the engine won't start.
4. Check the fuel system: If the engine turns over but still won't start, check the fuel system. Make sure there is fuel in the tank and check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel injectors for any issues.
5. Check the spark plugs: If the fuel system is good, check the spark plugs. Remove one spark plug and check its condition. If the spark plug is worn or damaged, it may need to be replaced.

If you're unable to diagnose and fix the issue on your own, it may be best to take your Kia Sportage to a qualified mechanic or dealership for a proper diagnosis and repair.

try contacting Kia customer support or a certified Kia dealer for assistance in obtaining a wiring diagram. They may be able to provide you with the necessary information to properly install or troubleshoot your stereo.

Question edited for clarity. It is a common issue. There are videos here and lots of information. Don't forget that after you do a fix like repairing or replacing, you have to reset the Check Engine Light. Remove your new gas cap and spray it, and all around the filler with WD40 and clean off any residue with a clean shop cloth. https://www.google.com/search?q=2016+Kia+Rio+P0455+and+P0441

GOOGLE THAT YET. IF IS POSSIBLE OTHERS HAVE TOLD IT.I SEE NONE/first off the tool is mandatory to diagnose any modern and 2012 wow yes.like my jeep here it as a lame near useless cluster magic button pushes , to show DTC errors but only the USA federal codes P0nnn ,not P1, or p2 up, ever. or Unnnn or Bnnnn etc. ever.that means most are not shown there ever.why did jeep do that, well it is if stranded and in danger, say stuck in snow bank, far from any city, it might help. (YMMV) Jeep or any car that did.that is what it does, just that. it is not a scan tool periodsorry but YMMV, ask KIA that directly, OBD2 , scans lacking a tool.ask here,, on real kia forumhttps://www.kia-forums.com/search/996816/?q=can+I+see+DTC+errors+with+no+scan+tool&o=relevanceor buy one, rent one, barrow one. or get the car scanned in any shop, or at many autostores for free5 answers 1 post. a good tool is $100.less if have laptop and use thishttps://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/ all above is USA cars only, yours not toldno vin told so , answers can be wrong . lacking VIN

Throttle position, and or mad air flow sensor. Little pricy but those two sensors control your fuel air mixture causing those issues.

The PO420 code is a generic code indicating a problem with the catalytic converter system efficiency below threshold. This issue can be caused by several factors, including:

1. A clogged or failing catalytic converter
2. An exhaust leak before the catalytic converter
3. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor
4. Fuel system issues, such as a clogged fuel injector
5. Engine misfire
6. A damaged or failing ignition system
7. A vacuum leak

Here are the steps you can take to diagnose and fix the issue:

1. Check the catalytic converter: If the converter is clogged, it may need to be replaced.
2. Examine the exhaust system for leaks: Leaks before the catalytic converter can reduce its efficiency. If a leak is found, it should be repaired.
3. Replace the oxygen sensor: If the oxygen sensor is malfunctioning, it can cause the engine to run too rich or too lean, which can affect the catalytic converter.
4. Check the fuel system: Clogged fuel injectors can cause a lean fuel mixture, which can harm the catalytic converter. Have the fuel system checked and cleaned as necessary.
5. Repair any engine misfires: An engine misfire can damage the catalytic converter over time. Fix the misfire and see if the code returns.
6. Check the ignition system: A faulty ignition system can cause a misfire and damage the catalytic converter. Have the ignition system checked and repaired as needed.
7. Find and fix any vacuum leaks: Vacuum leaks can cause a lean fuel mixture and damage the catalytic converter.

It's best to have a mechanic diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs, as some of these repairs can be complicated and require specialized tools.

The turn signal flasher on a 2014 Kia Sportage is typically located in the vehicle's fuse box. The exact location of the flasher will depend on the specific make and model of your Sportage, but it is generally located near the steering column or under the dashboard. Here are the steps to locate the turn signal flasher:

1. Locate the fuse box: The fuse box in a Kia Sportage is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the vehicle.
2. Identify the flasher: Once you have located the fuse box, look for the turn signal flasher, which is typically a small, rectangular box with two or three wires connected to it.
3. Test the flasher: Once you have found the flasher, you can test it by turning on the hazard lights and checking to see if the flasher is clicking. If it is not clicking, the flasher may be faulty and will need to be replaced.

Question edited for clarity and typos. Question moved to model category.
