It has an electrical part and mechanical parts.

I'll advice you get an auto electrician to check it out and ensure it winks via direct connections first before buying a relay.

I drive a KIA Rio 2012 which was recently transferred to me in the office. At the point of transfer, I was told the radiator seat has issues which caused d car to overheat when I drive in traffic for long hours. This also affected the car AC. This was fixed by a mechanic in my area and there was no overheating again and d AC worked but d cooling wasn't as good as it was before. Two weeks later, I noticed d AC was not working again. This time, I took it to KIA. I was told d AC pipes have been tampered with and cannot be fixed under warranty. The estimates given to me was just too much.

I need help to fix the AC

Possible low charge. Technician has to check and find leak.

Ok. Is the customer duties genuine?

If it is an Accidented honda accord then you are good to go.

ozee1kinobi:
Hi Gazzuzz. Thank you for the time you put in to answer our enquiries for free. God bless you.

I have a small issue with my 2013 Kia Rio 1.4L. Coolant doesn't flow back to the radiator from the overflow tank after the vehicle cools down.

After driving for a while and park i noticed the overflow tank has more coolant than when i set off and the coolant in the radiator is low. When i drain the excess from the tank and pour it back into the radiator it fills it up. I guess that means there is no leak.

I read that the following could cause it;
Bad radiator cap
Loose hose (between radiator and overflow tank)
Top gasket

What i did
I changed the radiotor cap with a new one and then tokunbo but that didn't work. Then i thought maybe they didnt work because it wasn't OEM. So i switched my cap with my colleague who uses the exact same model. Same issue

I change the hose that connect the radiator to the tank and even added clips.

There is no water in my oil and no oil in my water (I guess that might rule out the top gasket)

I even took out the plugs to examine them cause they said if the top gasket was leaking it would show on the plugs (Attached pics of the plugs). I didn't put them back in though cause i ordered new ones months ago.

I really don't know what else to try and i don't want to take the KIA cause that Apapa Oshodi road is hell's highway and the wait period is not convenient. And i don't trust anyone else that is why i have come to you.

I read that the radiator is sucking in air from somewhere that why the coolant isn't going back in.

Brother Gazzuzz i need your help

Thank you.

Seen, return your sparkplugs back.

Take pics of the radiator and expansion tank.
Take pics of the pipe connected to radiator.
