A kill switch, or immobilizer, disables the engine from starting, usually by means of breaking one or all of a few circuits. The fuel pump, the ignition coils, the computer, or the starter itself. An immobilizer is usually part of an alarm system, but back in the day, people would hide a physical toggle switch on the vehicle somewhere that broke the power wire running to the fuel pump. Yes, car batteries can go flat if they have been sitting a while. That does not mean the battery needs to be replaced, but most likely needs reconditioning. Replacement acid is available at auto parts stores, and decalcifier charging units and all over the internet. Do your homework before attempting to fiddle with a battery that can put out enough amperage to melt a craftsman wrench.

It would help to know what kind of "won't start" you mean. Is it just ticking? Low battery voltage. Considering it started after getting your phone, probably not that. Is it cranking slow and not trying to catch (where it spins faster as the engine is firing but not fully catching and entering a run state)? Is there nothing at all, just shuts the accessories off and does nothing, no click, tick, hurk, jerk? I had a Malibu that did not like starting too fast. As in if you flipped the key switch straight to start the fuel pump wouldn't pressurize properly or something. But if I turned it to on, gave it a second (you can usually hear when the fuel pump stops running once the system is up to pressure) then hit the starter it kicked over just fine.

LOOK UNDER DASH JUST BELOW STEERING COLUMN.YOU WILL SEE THE 16 PIN DATA LINK CONNECTOR.

I answer to your statement these door handles are mounted with 4 small bolts located inside the door frame. You will need to remove the door card to get access to them. Once the 4 bolts are removed the handle can be lifted out far enough to remove the pull bar the handle operates. The handle should then simply lift out. Refitting is the opposite of this method.

Question edited for clarity and better English. The most common reasons a Kia Rondo cruise control isn't working are failed control module, sensor or switch issues, or throttle actuation problems.

1. all fuses good.

3. engine bad (sorry we have 10 tests to prove it is good ,using pile of tools.
4. spark dead cant burn fuel lacking spark good on all 6 cylinders we the them all, and 17 year old spark plugs are never good, ever to full tune up, ? spark and filters?
5. last is fuel and is last to check and we use a tool called fuel pressure gauge to make sure PSI pressure is at spec cranking any dead engine, BTW, the battery must be kept charged or the PCM goes dead;. with super low battery voltage./ keep it charged using tool with same name.
6. if spark was good and engine was good test fuel works using a can of (instant start spray) and we spray 3 seconds, and it starts and runs for 3seconds, and repeats over and over until you are happy the engine sounds good 3 seconds at a shot, cam chain not screaming for help,etc,etc.

car starts, runs and drives perfectly? AC or heater blower works on high? head lamps work fully and brightly.? tail lamp (park) all glow? ? brake lamps work and are bright. check fuses? look for connections to the radio loose or damaged AM Radio dead means the antenna is missing wires to it bad. or missing. FM may work say on 1 stations if the stations is like 5 miles away, all stations that are under say 25miles must work or the antenna is bad. FM, and vastly farther for AM. we do not know where you live( a town) so can never guess what stations are in range to you. see?

normally if you clear the codes it means that all the codes are cleard, unless there was a problem with the car that was never sorted out, and if that is the case they should be able to tell you what the code means

THE CAR NEEDS SERVICE, GET SOME? no country of VIN told , no engine told. guess at V6 I will, 3.3L that o2 heater is dead. or the 4wires to the oxy sensor are burned up on the exh. pipe. toss coin or better just look at it. sensor #2 is behind the CAT. and is bad. you posted no engine told at all, and is a 100% engine question. S1 is always front of CAT, S2 is rear. upstream or down stream, (S1 /S2 order) B1 bank 1 means that bank that has cylinder #1 there. on the 4 banger #1 is front of engine a belt drive end. on a V6 , the #1 cylinder is most front (it's off set to bank2) 3.3L back bank row is B1. (drivers end) so bank1 s2 is that exhaust manifold rear that goes to cat #1 and the rear of cat 1 is B1, sensor S2 rear of cat. the heater circuit side never lies,it means the voltage or current flow to that heater is dead wrong. open/ or shorted heater or its wires to it. the gen 3 car? 2014 engine line up is here. Petrol: 2.0 L Theta II T-GDi I4 2.4 L Theta II MPi I4 2.4 L Theta II GDi I4 3.3 L Lambda II MPi V6 3.3 L Lambda II GDi V6 3.5 L Lambda II MPi V6 Diesel: 2.0 L R II CRDi I4 2.2 L R II CRDi I4 keep in mind my answers are USA only and USA EPA. DICTATES CAT LAY OUT AND DESIGNS. SOME CARS RUN Y PIPE TO A SINGLE CAT. V6 WHAT YOU HAVE THERE , IVE NOT 1 CLUE.

NO VIN OR ENGINE TOLD. SO ANSWER IS NOW GENERIC. 5 ENGINES THAT YEAR GEN2 BIT 1 OF 5 IS DIESEL SURE. ONE IS LPG+GAS TO FIX A CAR KNOW FIRST WHAT IS UNDER THE HOOD. MISFIRES UPHILLS !! CLEAR AS DAY. 303 MEANS CYLINDER 3 HAS LOW POWER, ONLY 3 CAUSES

1. BAD COMPESSION #3
2. BAD SPARK #3
3. BAD INJECTION #3 NON, WEAK OR LEAKING INJECTOR

NOTE ORDER. CAN'T BURN CORRECTLY FUEL WITH #1 OR 2 BAD. TO GET ALL CODES POSSIBLE TAKES SOME DRIVING PARKED IN DRIVE WAY NO. SWAP INJECTOR #3 WITH #2>? CHECK COMPRESSION ON #3 YET? 3 WAYS TO FAIL AND INSIDE ENGINE MORE. #3 VALVES BURNED OR STUCK. OR LIFTERS FAILING OR I HOPE YOU CHANGED COIL PACK HV WIRES 1 AT A TIME. DO NOT MIX THEM UP, EVER.
