My driver side front window won’t roll down. I have got a new master switch for it and motor and regulator. I would like to know where the fuses and relays are for those. My vehicle is a 2003 Sorento ex. Thank you and I hope someone can help me.
If C/FAN (2) Relay powers the secondary smaller radiator fan, which Relay powers the Main, larger radiator fan?
I have looked at the diagrams displayed and can’t find a fuse for the CRUISE CONTROL.
This would be for a 2005 Kia Sorento
