The reasons why the Kia K4 door cannot be locked are: 1. The key transmitter is damaged and sends incorrect commands; 2. The car receiver is damaged and cannot control the door; 3. The door lock is broken; 4. The battery in the key is dead. The Kia K4 is a mid-size car launched by Dongfeng Yueda Kia. Taking the 2017 Kia K4 manual GL as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4720 mm, width 1815 mm, height 1465 mm, and wheelbase 2770 mm. The 2017 Kia K4 manual GL is equipped with a 1.8L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 105 kW and a maximum power speed of 6200 rpm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a Kia K4 owner, I've encountered the issue of car doors not locking several times. The first thing to suspect is usually a dead battery in the car key. I tried it myself before - when the remote didn't respond, replacing the battery at an auto repair shop fixed it. Additionally, the door lock motor might be stuck or broken, especially after rain when moisture gets in. Lubricating it might help, but if it's broken, replacement is needed. Wiring issues shouldn't be overlooked either, like loose connectors or blown fuses - just check the corresponding position in the fuse box. A faulty remote module could also cause signal failure; trying the spare key can rule this out. In short, check the simple things first. If you can't fix it yourself, don't delay - go to a professional shop immediately because safety comes first. Last time I delayed, I ended up spending more money repairing other components.
