@@Cranedewd Mine is also a Sedona 2014. My son came by and tried to help. He is a wirey slender mass of muscle and he could not get his hands i there, try as he may. What I'm looking at is removing the air damper and both radiator hoses just to get a small access I have watched you video 4 more times and where you light up and point out the bolts, mine is totally corrupt with wires and tubing and hoses. .
Thanks for sharing! When the van did not start would it just click? Or make no noise at all? Having a similar issue, tested alternator tested battery both show good. Thinking maybe starter. Mine is 2016, still starting but intermittently getting just a click.
I think ours never really showed signs of being bad other than slow starting. I do remember it killed our battery. So we replaced the battery and I think it did click a couple times on my wife. It was a while ago. I can’t really remember!
That’s a great question! Unfortunately I don’t remember. I don’t even own this van any longer. Watching the video I’d think I probably used my 3/8” drive ratchet with what I think was a 12mm socket. Wish I could be more help.
For anyones interest torque specs on two mount down bolts are 36-47 foot pounds
Just an FYI...always remove the negative battery terminal first! A lot of damage can be done otherwise.
Very good video. I have same problem, same van. Cheers.
Exelente . Gracias for this video!
Good video. I'm having to replace my starter on my 2014 Sedona. My problem is that it quit at my wife's dentist office 40 miles from my house
Man that’s terrible! Good luck!!
@@Cranedewd Man! Your's must have been a 4 cylinder. I have been fooling with my V6 for two hours and haven't got the first bolt out.
Oh no! Mine was on a Sedona. Maybe that has something to do with it? It was also a V6

Oh no man!
A new starter is running me $404 to $378 (from the dealership). I'm going to for sure test my starter. Lol
Try O’Reillys or Autozone. They were way cheaper than that if I remember correctly and I haven’t had any issues with it.
I realize that yours is a 2015, and mine is a 2014, BUT I watched your video religiously and nothing on mine is like anything on yours.
2014 and 2015 are different generations of Sedona's

@@Cranedewd cool, thanks for the response! 👌💪 Have a great day!
Thank u
thank you i has same problem i can get it done
At 1:30 and on looks nothing like mine I can't get my hands in there
Where did you get the new starter? kia OM or aftermarket part store??
I either got it at O’reillys or autozone. I can’t remember!
What are the torque specs on the mount bolts? Thanks
Good question. I have no idea. I just got them pretty tight.
@@Cranedewd Alright thanks
Is this the same for 2016 kia sedona?
I would say yes but I am not sure.
Did you remove the motor mount
Nope I don’t believe I had to remove anything other than the bolts for the starter and that heat shield.
Your right I got it done without removing it thanks
How did you get the top bolt?
That’s a great question! Unfortunately I don’t remember. I don’t even own this van any longer. Watching the video I’d think I probably used my 3/8” drive ratchet with what I think was a 12mm socket. Wish I could be more help.
@@Cranedewd no it’s okay I have a 3.3 V6 Sorento I’m replacing starter on and top bolt is a bitch to deal with.
They are 2 14s but the top one is an issue cause Kia decided to weld 2 hoses together and put the Thermostat housing on top of it
Good luck man! I don’t remember it being that hard on the Sedona but there’s no telling on that Sorento.
@@Cranedewd what engine did you have?
