Multi function switch gone bust

Electrician says you will have to replace it with a new one and the new one costs 6,500. Looking for a local solution now.

Any ideas?

[aref]

strangely, mine is still working.
i have seen many spectras with bad multifunction switch.

I got my car's AC service few days ago. cooling coil was dirty, but not enough for 5 years.

[spectra]

Which part of multi function switch is busted, i mean wiper side or lights? I replaced mine and old one is lying somehwere, it had issue with high beams, rest is perfect

Dear Members,

Subject: Chasis Plates issue (URGENT PLZZ)

I have an important consideration for kia classic. Does any one know that Kia Classic has two chasis plates, i have seen them in some cars, one is at the back side of air filter chamber (Above the embosed chasis number on body) and one is on the extreme right side corner. but in most of the Kia classic cars i have found only one plate. What is the issue? Can anyone tell me about this??

With Regards

Omer

[spectra]

That other chassis plate is for CNG cylinders and KIT. it is present on factory fitted CNG models only

[omeriqbal83]

Thanks Alot @spectra

It is a very useful information indeed and very few people know it. Even i asked many car dealers but no one know this. Thanks alot Bro...

Omer!

Saquib bhai, it's the lights that busted. Parking lights won't come on and neither will the console lights (kinda irritating at night). Rest is working fine. If some part can be replaced with the switch you have, it would be great!

[spectra]

we can try but same part s damaged in that switch as well.

[spectra]

@All

i have sold my spectra and bought an estima to cater for family needs. I hope my embership will not be cancelled

[aesthete]

I, for one, would not want that

[imrandahar]

dear spectra do post ur car pix

[aref]

@saqib bhai
spectra se bewafai kar di na aakhir...!?
and what about your spectra's 1.6L venturi...?
is it with you or in the car?

[spectra]

Venturi is in the car as my cousin bought the car so i wont try taking things out except TPMS and 220v inverter which i told him already

Multi function switch repair works for a year or so and i recommend one attempt at least.

Pictures are sorted on another forum.

[aesthete]

Yup, got it repaired over the weekend (for free!). Let's see how long it lasts.

Anyone here got his headlights replaced? If yes, have you still got your old headlights? The clip that holds the headlight tube in place is broken for my right headlight and I can't find a replacement. Don't want to buy a new headlight just because of this

[aref]

all of you guys who have got their car's ac serviced...
does your car have an ac filter?
i mean the one in the cabin?

[aref]

@aesthete
i have replaced my car's for 4 times.

but sorry, i dont have that thing.

[aesthete]

Darn!

Where did you get the headlights from and for how much?

[aref]

after every accident, workshop used to bring it for me.
insurance

[aesthete]

Ah ok, you got lucky then

In fact, now that you mention it, let me check with the body shop at Hyundai Sowan and see if they have a few broken ones lying around.
