Kia Motors OEM Genuine 93410B2010 Fog Light Switch Lever Assy 1-pc Without Auto Light Function for 2014 2015 2016 Kia All New Soul

The issue gradually worsened to the point where it was occurring The headlights control is on the same turn signal lever stalk, so I figured it must be mechanical or physical problem shared by both circuits, but not an electronic one. During my search for online commentary on this problem, I found that no one appeared to know what the cause was. My next discovery was a comment from a mechanic who stated that the problem had apparently been solved by changing out his turn signal switch. In the absence of a follow-up Since I had not followed up on his comment, I had no way of knowing whether or not it was the real problem, though it seemed to fit with my observation of the car's behavior. The turn signal / headlight switch was exposed when I removed the steering column covers. It appears that there are a lot of small openings in the switch's base, where the different circuits' moving contact points Due to the way the switch is mounted to the steering wheel (and the airbag in the driver), I used an electronic contact spray cleaner that I sprayed into the openings at the back of I am no longer experiencing the issue with my headlights going off without warning. Once used to live in peace, then it returned with As soon as I turned the knob on the turn signal lever the headlights would no longer come on. There were times when they worked, and other times when they did It took me a couple of minutes to place an order for a replacement switch and learn how to replace it. In the 70s I trained as a mechanic, and have since done much of my own maintenance on cars, so in my case the process of getting the switch out and replacing was not intimidating, but I can see how it might be for someone else. You will have to remove the air bag first, then the steering wheel, followed by removing the small unit known as the clock spring with care so that it does not By doing this you can easily access the wiper control switch (actually two switches, as the wiper mechanism is attached to the side of the turn signal mechanism). There are a few wire plugs that must be removed and replaced in the course of the job. Further, I would like to point out It is necessary to replace the nut holding the steering wheel to the column since it is self-corroding In addition to locking, one-way locks are available The only use is for industrial purposes. A nut should be included with the switch to make the job easier and faster. It is not included with the switch. As a result of reading the Kia manual, I had to order the nut separately. Torque refers to the amount of tension that this nut should be tightened down to. As long as you understand what you are doing and have the correct torque wrench, you can do it easily. How come I took so long to discuss turn signal switch replacement? Since you should have done mechanical work on your cars in the past, know the basics (such as the need for torquing nuts to a specified amount of tightness) and are not intimidated by the removal of an air bag and steering wheel, then this repair should be relatively easy. In the event that you are not mechanically inclined and are uncertain of your ability to follow what I have mentioned, then take it to a shop and let them handle it for you. What is the cost of that? I have no idea how much it is, but shops are probably getting about $90-$100 per hour now, and a good mechanic should be able to do this in an hour or less, but who knows for sure. $66 per piece) and paying outrageous shipping costs on the nuts (3 nuts cost much less than the shipping for one). It seems that replacement of the switch has solved my problem with my headlights, as they haven't unexpectedly shut off since the switch was replaced. was a genuine Kia part that came in a real Kia box, along with the nuts, which were also sealed in a genuine Kia parts bag. Finally, I'd like to highlight the following To figure out what was causing the problem, I took apart the original switch. There was no evidence of burned or shorted points inside the switch, so we are confident it is a fully functional switch. As far as I can tell, everything inside was working correctly (which means according to design). There was only one thing that seemed out of place to me, which was the amount of A dielectric grease, on the other hand, is not supposed to be conductive. It is typically used to seal rubber boots on electrical connections (on the rubber portions of spark plug boots, etc. , but not on metallic connections). In addition, it is capable of lubricating moving parts without conducting a I discover there is a substantial amount of dielectric grease inside the headlight / turn signal switch contact points, and I question whether it is normal. In the switch, grease moves across the contact points each time the lever was moved, so to cause a circuit to fail to carry current, all that would have to occur is for the grease to be moved across the contact points. It would explain why spraying contact cleaner into its contact points initially helped, but then failed to provide any relief because I couldn't reach the contact points appropriately, and the grease that remained continued to make the problem worse. What is the difference between the old switch and the new switch? My knowledge of the subject is limited. Also, I have no idea how a switch like this can be lubricated to last for 1000's of uses without having some kind of trouble. Keeping an eye on how the new switch performs is very important to me.

The part fits perfectly for my 2014 Soul base at an excellent price. Were I to buy an original Kia part, I would have been waiting a few months for it. There is a fog light control that works, but you'll have to install fog lights and wire them correctly if you don't have them already. To my knowledge, I have yet to complete this task. It started with the flashing of my headlights and an occasional interior light appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the night despite there being no one The problem seemed to disappear for a short time after I connected a ground strap from the battery to the engine, but eventually it returned and grew worse. The tube has a great video that shows exactly how to install it. Do not hurriedly rush through this! You must be careful!.

As the wiring harness is not available, it cannot be installed, and it has been.
