Did kia put this sensor there so that we would have to pay almost 2 grand to fix a crappy electrical job? By the way this is not the only kia around this year with this exact problem. A problem such as this one should not be so expensive to fix. Not only is it bad enough that lots of people are complaining about this, but kia says that they can't replace the sensor by itself, I would need to buy a new seat which would be $1600 dollars!!!!

When you reconnect the terminals, your radio presets are likely to be cleared out. ![]() Replacing the battery in your Spectra involves removing the terminals. Although some batteries last much longer, most batteries begin breaking down chemically after four years, so you could experience dimmer headlights and other negative effects before you have a dead battery in your Spectra that you need to replace. We recommend changing the battery in Kias every 4 years. The video above shows you how to replace the battery in your 2005 Kia Spectra. ![]()
