Thanks. On my daughter’s Forte, the auto down has never worked (we bought the car used), but it worked a couple of times recently. I found a new OEM Kia switch on eBay for $44, shipped from South Korea. One tip I’ll add? Magnetize your screwdrivers and bits with a screwdriver magnetizer, and you won’t drop the screws.
Thank you! Your video instructions helped me a lot. There is no such video in our language region. And yes - my Kia Forte had the same problem with the driver's door switch.
Was able to use this to fix the switches, but also retrieve a lost $20 bill that had fallen in the door (removed the speaker to get it, don't ask). Thanks!
Thanks for this quick and easy video. Our 2016 Kia Forte we got last year is doing the exact same thing on the driver's window staying down once pressed. It's a shame, my much older 1995 Dodge Ram secondary vehicle's driver electric window still works perfectly fine and that thing has over double the mileage the car does. I guess the gas savings over the truck will offset this inconvenience that's not covered by the aftermarket drivetrain and HVAC warranty we purchased on the car
Excellent demonstration. I was able to replace mine this morning. I would've have liked it if you showed us how to just change the nob only. The only problem I had with mine is that the non that controls the drivers window broke off. The company said that they dont sell the nob alone so I had to buy the entire master switch and instead of replace the nob only, I replace the entire thing
Cool. The problem is that when showing the actual rocker switch (knob) replacement, it would be a very close-up video and my hands would block the screen. If you get as far as removing the master switch, typically the rocker is no big deal.
Good video, but unhooking the other electrical switch and the two easy disconnect cables makes the job even easier, bc those tiny screws fall all over the place...
Hello, I have a Kia car and it only has 1 button for the driver's door to automatically pull the window. Can I replace the 4-door automatic window pull button set?. Can it work when replacing that set of buttons?. Or does it need another control module to be able to control all 4 doors automatically? Thank !
Yes, there is a possibility, depending on what has failed within the switch. It is possible that you are able to lower the window and then it refuses to go up.
Thank you for the video. Do you have any suggestions for changing the buttons on the switch relay? You mentioned that you were going to do that part. How did it turn out? I'm in the same boat with having a replacement part that doesn't have the same action on all 4 switches so I was going to mix-and-match all the parts together to make one relay that works fine. Thanks!
Hey Johnathan. Yes, switching out the individual rocker switch from the used master switch that I bought on ebay, to my existing master worked fine. Just be careful when removing the rocker from the one that you purchase as well as attaching it to your existing master. If you snap it, you'll be back in the same boat.
@@miamitopa Thanks for the reply! I couldn't get the switches off of the old relay for the life of me. Currently the replacement is in the car and I'll continue to fiddle with the original part to see if I can get it disassembled.
Where can i buy those wire harness/cables/connection for minute 4:24? My mirrors won’t work, apparently it was tempered with before i bought the car from a dealership.
Don't remember where I bought mine from, but this is a nice set from Amazon that has many uses.

@@hayes32198 OK. You stated that the reason for switch replacement is due to a broken driver's button. If you bought a (I assume) used switch, and it is the correct one for the vehicle and now none of the windows will move, it would seem that either the replacement switch is bad or incorrect or the wire harness is not making proper contact. You can also do what I did; carefully remove the driver's rocker button from the new switch and install it in the old switch.
You can pull the panel and support it in some fashion. The speaker can then be unscrewed from the actual metal door shell and replaced. Reverse the panel removal and you'll be good. Good Luck!
No entiendo porque no desconecto también el anclaje de la chapa y seguro de la puerta, y la otra ficha de los cables del espejo. En definitiva, sacar la cubierta completa.
The individual buttons are not available. I purchased a used switch on ebay and then swapped the broken over to my existing unit, since mine was working well otherwise.
Hey, if your actual power window rocker switch is the only broken part, you can buy a replacement switch assembly (ebay, junkyard, etc.). Pry the rocker out of the replacement switch and your old switch (the same position as your broken one, as they are different; LF broken, use the LF out of the replacement switch). Snap the "good" rocker back into your old switch. Reinstall switch assembly.
this video saved me 45$. bought the part for 18$. easy replacement. thanks

Awesome. I am glad that it helped you out!
My problem was with the rear switch on the driver side, thank you for the instructions, never could’ve got it done without you!
SAME WITH MINE. DID YOU REPLACE THE REAR SWITCH TO GET FULL FUNCTIONALITY? MY REAR RIGHT WINDOW WONT OPEN
Was able to use this to fix the switches, but also retrieve a lost $20 bill that had fallen in the door (removed the speaker to get it, don't ask). Thanks!
I have this same exact problem. I'm from the Caribbean. I believe it's a production problem with these models. Thank you so much for this. Cheers.
Same happened to me, 2018 forte -México

Glad it helped.
Funny how I have the exact same problem with the same exact switch with the same year and model. Thanks for posting
Lucky lmao Im watching this for my 2015 forte so I can change my speakers 😆
Great concise walkthrough, thank you
Spilled some soda on mines and just wanted to clean it. Thanks to your video it was done with ease. Definitely gonna subscribe.
Thank you so much! I have the same problem with the driver switch and now I know how to solve it thank you!!
You are welcome; glad that it helped you out!

@@miamitopa alright man. Thanks okay. Thanks again regardless!
I appreciate the education! Thanks for posting. I’m going to order a switch. I had the same switch break on my 2016 Forte. Ugh.
Yes, it is one of the weak points of the car. Have fun!
You helped me look for a rattly switch on my '17 Niro--it was almost identical EXCEPT there's another screw in the doorhandle.
Nice. Glad you could fix the problem!
Thank you for this video!! I thought it was going to be a nightmare to remove but it looks like a piece of cake.
i know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
Super useful, mine is a 2014 model too, thabks man.
Good video, simple and clear
Thanks a lot. But screw drives of mine were totally damaged😢. I used some glue for plastic layers.
You forgot to mention the screw in the arm rest area.
I know right, I was like "There isn't one comment on this screw he missed, how are ppl commenting saying they did it without mentioning this screw?"
Must be a common problem. That's exactly the job I'm doing tomorrow. $100 from Auto1 in Australia
Gracias, super claro el proceso, ahora.... A trabajar
Thank you. Great video.
Our 2014 Forte also had a screw that was under a rubber mat to the left of the switch group.
Thank you!
Good video, but unhooking the other electrical switch and the two easy disconnect cables makes the job even easier, bc those tiny screws fall all over the place...
This just happened to my 2011 Kia Forte. Was hoping this would help. Not sure now, and can't find a video to cover it.
Thank you!
Thank you kind sir!
You are welcome. Hope that it helped you save some money!
Hello, I have a Kia car and it only has 1 button for the driver's door to automatically pull the window. Can I replace the 4-door automatic window pull button set?. Can it work when replacing that set of buttons?. Or does it need another control module to be able to control all 4 doors automatically? Thank !
Sorry, but I am unable to give you an accurate answer to the question.
Will it be same procedure for Kia 2013? Yes I can read the title …
It will not be exactly the same, but similar enough that you should get through it, if you have at least some mechanical aptitude. Good Luck...
Would there be a possibility of the window staying down if the switch plate was not replaced?
Yes, there is a possibility, depending on what has failed within the switch. It is possible that you are able to lower the window and then it refuses to go up.
Thank you my guy I appreciate the info and steps
You are welcome buddy, I am glad that it helped you!

Anyone knows if its any different prccedure from the 2012 model?
Great job man
Where can i buy those wire harness/cables/connection for minute 4:24? My mirrors won’t work, apparently it was tempered with before i bought the car from a dealership.
The pigtails/connectors will most likely have to come from the Kia dealer or an online used parts seller on ebay. Good luck!
Thank you for posting this. I have this issue with a 2010 Kia Forte Koup. Where did you purchase the plastic pry bar?

My rear door windows won’t go down when I push the button, but when I get the windows down with the switch in the rears they do come up, any help?
You should of showed us how to do the switch part too, have the same problem lol
Could you please tell me if the new window switch is bad if none of the windows will go up or down, but the door will lock and unlock?
Is this the same symptom that was there before and that is why you replaced it?
@@miamitopa no the switch broke on driver window button, that’s why I bought replacement.

If I want to change my speakers, do I have to undo everything or can I pull the panel then just hold it in place?
You can pull the panel and support it in some fashion. The speaker can then be unscrewed from the actual metal door shell and replaced. Reverse the panel removal and you'll be good.
Good Luck!
@@miamitopa thank you. I'm a bit nervous to do it but also don't want to pay someone all that money lol. Thank you for the tip and your video
@@Cutelycaca 😉
10 stars
Thanks for the video ! I have the same problem with my forte !
No entiendo porque no desconecto también el anclaje de la chapa y seguro de la puerta, y la otra ficha de los cables del espejo. En definitiva, sacar la cubierta completa.
faltó un tornillo que va en la manilla se saca la goma y debajo está el tornillo
That button can be repaired or should I change the part
The individual buttons are not available. I purchased a used switch on ebay and then swapped the broken over to my existing unit, since mine was working well otherwise.
I can't find the 2020 Kia forte lxs 4dr removal no where I want to upgrade my speakers please help somebody
Same but mines a forte gt
@@jbone8274 the only way I found it was going on clutch field I had to pay $9.99 for the info but I did it because it was nowhere else
Dude my advice is use sound deadening material
What about the screw in the "change holder" 😂
Dealership was about to charge me $160 diagnostic fee for this
Nice! Glad it helped you out!
My 2013 Kia forte window switch is broken also
Hey, if your actual power window rocker switch is the only broken part, you can buy a replacement switch assembly (ebay, junkyard, etc.).

I just realized that I'd have to take that whole plastic panel out of the door install sound dampening. Never mind that whole idea then.
Showwwwwww de bola.
Excellent video! Thank you!
