2009 KIA Rio A/C troubles.

I didn't read the whole thing, just want to throw this in here. Last I checked Kia/Hyundai was not using serp belts, they were still using V-belt setups.

I know you know your shit adsm, I had thought everyone had switched to serp. Belt setups. I'll find out which this has

I know I put 3 belts on a Santa Fe a few months back. An 06 IIRC.

I am not overly familiar with ANY Asian makes though.

You were right adsm, its v belt. I swapped out the fuse in question. Here's another hint, it was the blower fuse, one of those big boxy style 40 ampers. Turned on the A/C and it blew almost immediately. The compressor is spinning good.

Thanks for coming back with the answer, so I was right.

Yup, but really at the end of the day the problem was that the car was designed by KIA and not Ford.

Actually, you're right. I forgot that most of the 4 cyls use vbelts still. Pretty sure its just the 4cyls? When I worked for hyundai, we almost never replaced them.... just serp style belts!

And glad you answered the problem of it being your blower
