My 2003 KIA Optima car will not start and my battery is drained after charging it... When I tried to start it again I here no clicks or noise....Need to know where is the starter located on the car...
Torque SPEC 03 KIA optima 2.4
why will a 03 Tahoe starter engaga and will not crack
on a 01 optima its on the bottom of the transmission behind the drip pan (really). likely the same on a 03.
Replace the starter
97-03
Look at the bottom rear of engine
Follow your positive wire from battery and it should take you to the starter that is hooked to the transmission.

The CVA Optima and the Optima pro are the same guns except for the barrel length (26" & 29"). Barrels are interchangable.The optima elite is a newer different gun and I Don't have experience with it.
