[@joelramos3270]

Hello, thanks for the video. I have 2015 Kia and need to change the starter. Is the starter in the same location as well?

[@joelramos3270]

Because I was told to remove the manifold?

[@mysterygarageCA]

It should be

Thanks for the passing of your knowledge.

[@clarencemorris2726]

Awesome video. Great commentary!

[@mysterygarageCA]

Thank you!

[@davidv.5234]

Thank you for this. My 2018 V6 Sorento will not start, just clicking noise from relay area behind battery, Battery is fine and fully charged. What is the best way to determine that it is in fact the starter and not a relay before I buy a new starter and go through the replacement process?

[@mysterygarageCA]

Best way is take it off and have autozone check it for you!

[@raymony8886]

Was it the starter? Kindly let us know

[@FuntNugget]

What was the diagnosis?

[@kevinnguyen4352]

Please update

[@mariecharles6406]

I can't believe you literally just changed the starter with one hand While I struggle to change a battery terminal with two hands 🤷‍♀️

[@mysterygarageCA]

It happens!

[@maksismailov8236]

Thank you very much

You're the best.

[@zackfam6761]

Thanks so much for the video 😊

[@mysterygarageCA]

Thank you for watching!

[@Kpena92]

Is there a negative or ground cable that needs to be connected? Because i just replaced my starter and it made a weird noise and smelt a little burnt? But all I can remember was plugging in the connector and tightened the power cable on. And that was it.

[@mysterygarageCA]

No, maybe you got a bad starter.

[@Kpena92]

@@mysterygarageCA you were right it was faulty! I went to a salvage yard and picked one up for 55$ and it worked like a charm!

[@mysterygarageCA]

@@Kpena92 great!

[@kremdellacrim4491]

Great video brotha

[@mysterygarageCA]

Thank you

[@mannyalvarez4016]

Would a 2019 work the same way would I have the access to it from the bottom like this

[@mysterygarageCA]

@@mannyalvarez4016 I think it should?

[@TheUnsilentMajorityBigmo-ev8sr]

I’m not sure you’ll see this BUT I have this exact year and model with an intermittent issue. Battery tests fine and we’ve checked relays and fuses. Hoping this does the trick….praying.

[@mysterygarageCA]

[@lcopp5068]

@TheUnsilentMajorityBigmo-ev8sr I'm having same intermittent starting issue. Did replacing the starter work for you?

[@mysterygarageCA]

@@lcopp5068 yes

[@TheUnsilentMajorityBigmo-ev8sr]

@@lcopp5068 it did. I think the solenoid was probably the problem, but it was such a pain to get to it I went ahead and swapped the entire thing.

[@TheUnsilentMajorityBigmo-ev8sr]

@@mysterygarageCA I gotta tell you that I truly appreciate your video. I really helped.

[@maxximum18]

Thanks man Good video !

[@Matpreneur]

Great video!!!

Thank you!

[@aprendisaje9506]

Bro exelente

[@antwancox6764]

What size are those screws in the cover over the starter?

[@mysterygarageCA]

10mm

[@RafaelPernia]

I have this same car. My issue is that when you turn the key, it will do absolutely nothing for 2-3 seconds, then starts perfectly. No crank, no suffering. This ONLY happens on the colder winter mornings. Nothing on the summer. On extremely cold days, it just won't start. I will connect a jump start and it will start effortlessly. Probably not the starter but cables? thanks

[@mysterygarageCA]

Probably!

[@christianyanez2449]

Mine started to do the same thing than yours until I drove to a town in the mountains with -4C and didn't start anymore. Problem was the starter. Mine is a 2017 Sorento.

[@RafaelPernia]

@@christianyanez2449 I live in Alberta. The winter here is pretty cold. I have appointment tomorrow to change the starter. Thank you.

[@RafaelPernia]

Update. It's been 3 weeks now since I change the starter. We started having colder nights. -10 etc. The problem appears to be gone.

[@mysterygarageCA]

@@RafaelPernia nice!

[@zxeng6064]

If you have the 2011 / 2012 V 6 its nowhere as easy as this however still possible

[@mysterygarageCA]

Yes it is

[@wm5944]

How many milles?

I don’t remember.

[@lesliebarnes8070]

I’m having a hard time taking the connector out

[@mysterygarageCA]

You have to press and pull it out. If not, remove the starter bolts and see if you can turn the starter around and try to disconnect them after

[@qwilliamson9117]

14mm, 12mm,10mm.. always say the tool sizes,

[@mysterygarageCA]

Next time.
