MDPS location?

I need to replace the steering coupler in my 2018 kia Sorento but I cannot locate the MDPS. Everything I see online indicates it is under the driver side dash but when opened I just have the two jointed shafts. Is it in the engine bay or potentially closer to the actual steering wheel?

Electronic steering motor location?

I have a 2018 kia Sorento SX and I believe the bushing in the electronic steering motor has gone in it but I cannot locate the electronic steering motor. Everything I've seen online indicates it's behind the driver dash. I've removed the dash but all I have is the two shafts going into the engine bay. Is the motor closer to the steering wheel on this model or in the engine bay itself?

Apprenticeship opportunity

Hey all,

I'm located in Ontario Canada and recently had a conversation with a guy who's looking to take on an apprentice. He seems pretty happy with our conversation over the phone and seems pretty keen to take me on.

I'm wondering what I should ask for a rate. I have my CFAA and have done sprinkler work solo and with ticketed Journeymen in the past, so I'm not exactly green.

Some other things I have to consider is that he's experienced but new to owning a company. I've done some independent work in telecom so I know how risky it is. But the fire safety industry seems more stable. I also currently work for a much larger company that's fast tracking me on programming opportunities in fire alarm. A safe bet would be to stick with my current job but fitters make way more money which is my main ambition.

I'll likely be making around 35$ an hour after I get my programming course done. He seems to be ok with matching or offering more depending on it but I haven't had the meeting regarding the raise with my current company as of yet.

Thanks

Inspection duration

Just trying to see if my frustration is justified.

​

How long do you figure you would take to get done an inspection on a conventional system with 123 devices; As well as 53 emergency lights and 23 extinguishers?

​

You'd be alone and transfering everything from previous paper inspections to inspect point. Parts of previous device lists will be there but you'll have to go in and update device info, zone info, and locations to make sense.

Mircom 4000 phantom beeping

Did a new inspection on a brand new mircom 4000, since I've finished the inspection the panel is beeping as if it had a trouble but the entire system is normal. A system reset starts the audible annunciation, acknowledging it silences it but it does resume after 24 hours.

I'm kinda perplexed how to solve a problem the panel isn't displaying.
