My Kia lately is not starting in the morning, I'd did it 3 months ago too and the battery service repair man installed a new battery, afterwards the car started fine and ran very well. But now for tha past few day, almost every morning the Kia won't start, lights come on radio works, no clicking sound or even engine attempting to start. I need to attempt to start the car several times before it finally starts, last time try to start it for about 20 times if not more. Any advise truly helps. Maybe even a car computer reset might help, if that even exists. Thank You!
I have a 2014 Sorento and now that the temperature has dropped below zero the car will not start first thing in the morning jump in hit the brake pedal push to start button lights come on and nothing no sound try it again brakes are solid no go on the third try so then start once driving no problem restarting throughout the day as long as we're above 30 degrees no problems last year
2016 sorento wont crank, no click or any sound when key is turned. All electrical components work inside the cabin and had the battery tested it is good. Tried cranking with it in neutral and still nothing. Any thoughts?
I have a 2016 Kia Sorento battery has been tested and is good. When I try to crank it the lights on the dash flicker off and on and I hear a rapid click under the hood but one click when I try to crank it and the fuse box under the hood makes clicking noise. The headlights, wipers, or turn signals will not work and the radio cuts on and off. Help!!!!
Had the battery out. When reconnected the radio and b/u camera would not work. Checked all fuses... All good. Kia dealer states I need a new radio for $585.00 plus intallation cost??? They could not find the problem. Heard their is a reset on the radio consul. Tried that; did not work. Is their another Reset?
Found out that how to fix it by talking to local mechanic. Undo the two batterys leads from the battery. Touch the two leads together and hold for a few minutes. This is suppose to reset the main computor. It did. Everything is working now. Although I am out the$105. Dealer service charge to trouble shoot this and then telling me I needed a new radio $585. Plus labor. Lesson learned. If it is not under warrranty, do not take it to a dealer.
This is exactly what happened to me yesterday
Kia Dealer in Bloomington Mn charged me 195.00 to tell me I needed a new radio, by the way they do not know why my car randomly wont start. I have on at least 7 occasions had to get a jump after coming out to a dead battery. Something is draining my battery while the car sits. My radio stopped working last year as well as the back up camera. Im out of warranty and so mad. Still owe 16000 on this car!!
My 2012 Sorento' stupid cup holder lights would NOT ever go out draining battery twice until I sat in it in dark engine off after it ran for a while, and low & behold, lights still on😣
Next day disassembled cupholder covers & unplugged the problematic mood(🙄) lights, 👍
My 2014 Kia Sorento's positive battery connector was loose and could not be tightened. A non-Kia auto service replaced the lug, establishing full contact and quick starts. Cost: just over $50.
I had the same problem with my 2012 Kia took the car to meinike the mechanic said that there was moisture in the lines causing the condenser to freeze up. He took the lines off got the moisture out put them back on added new compressor oil and freon now the air works fine. Cost me 149 $ but worth every penny.
My AC blows hot air. I Changed the compressor, Thermostat, hose, done all I could do but problem persist. 2013 kia Sorento. What might be the problem. The AC chills/cools so well when worked on but blows hot air the following morning. I've tried to correct this problem about 6 times but blows hot air the following morning. I'm from Ghana, West Africa
Goodday. We have a 2013 Kia Sorento. Aircon works perfectly, but the condensation ends up at our feet. When weve done a long trip, the carpets at our feet are soaked. Blocked pipe somewhere? Has anyone had the same problem?
Went to crank it up and wont start. All the lights and radio work there is a rapid clicking sound when the key is turned. Could this be the starter or is there a starter solenoid,the battery is 4yrs old.
My ac was working fine, then had to replace engine. Now the ac won't work. , checked all fuses and relays, jumped compressor clutch (working),replaced high pressure switch, good on charge, no engine codes.
Having the same issues with my 2011 Sorento all fuses are good pulled the memory fuse put it back in and still nothing. Tested for power at the female ends all have power. Looks like I'm investing in a new radio.
My radio hasn't worked in my 2011 Sorrento for about two years! I brought it to the dealer multiple times comma with other problems such as the car not starting. They have no idea what's wrong with it. Sometimes it's fine for about a day and sometimes it won't work for a week -they checked the connection wires because sometimes when I go over a bump that's when it stops but they said everything was fine and they didn't know why it wasn't working. Unfortunately I had to buy a portable Bluetooth speaker for my phone
I have the same issue with my 2013. The radio comes on sometimes. Mostly it doesn’t. Or cuts in and out. The dealer was not helpful at all. Said they didn’t bother looking at it and a new one would be 1000
What causes a 2006 KIA Sorento's horn to blow, parking and rear lights to come on, and prevent car from cranking? starter 10A fuse is fine...check all relays with a meter?
The radio screen works you can change stations and shows the jukebox. Absolutely no sound. Checked all fuses. Even tried the suggestions on taking the battery leads and utting them together. Nothing.
2011 Kia Sorento with the same issue. Most of the time when I start the car, the radio will play and then shortly afterwards stop playing but the screen is fully functional.
Aux works always.
Same here. Didnt start until my dad changed out my ignition switch. He didnt notice that my headlights were on when he changed it out. Still stuck on what to do.
My car alarm went off in the early morning without provocation. I tried every thing I could find on the Internetfirst, I finally removed every fuse associated with the horn. Has anyone else had this problem...If so, how did you resolve it?
Occasionally it will not start. It is totally dead. The push button start button has no lite on. If I open and then close the driver door, it then works. I may need to open and close the door more then one time but usually works with doing it once. When it happens my mirrors go out of adjustment. My clock needs to be reset and I loose all radio station settings. This has only happened 5 or 6 times over about 6 months.
the car wont recognize my key because it seems to be dead. No interior lighting. I've had to manually enter the vehicle. open the hood, then touch the negative terminal on the battery and suddenly it comes back to life.
When I start driving all is well. Radio is playing as per usual. Turn on heated seats and heater as it is chilly. Clean the windows to get rid of dirt from overnight. A few minutes 15 - 20 after I start moving, my heater stops and then I check I now have no headlights and no wipers. But if I turn the car off and on again the problem is fixed for awhile again. Took it to shop and tafter spending several hours they could not figure it out.
All other lights working properly but all the bulbs ( there are 5single bulbs inside the lens) are not working, doesn't seem like they would all go at once
I just brought a 2006 sorento and I can't get fm radio to work , am works fine , when switched to fm I get the sound likes there's no aerial , it's the horrible sound of static only ? Any ideas
Hi, I hope someone could help me to figure out the problem I have, last summer I had replace my A/C compressor, it works like a champ for like a year and suddenly it stopped working, I replace it again but it worked only for a day or 2, I thought I had a bad A/c compressor or a leak, I checked and couldn't find any leak so I decide to refill the gas and again it worked only 1 or 2 days, I ended up replacing the Compressor with 1 used from ebay, same problem it worked 1 day or 2, I replaced the valve goes from the wall to the cabin, I replaced the low pressure valve. And I ended up buying the OEM a/c compressor, nothing seems to be working, I changed almost everything and still not working, Does anyone have this problem before and got it fixed...
?
You seems to have a leak in the system. If you charge the system and only last couple of days it is definitely a leak. Get a better leak detection and check the evaporator (underdash), and condenser unit (front of radiator). The good news it is NOT the compressor!
I don't think it's a leak because I even try to refill the gas but gas was full, I lend the machine from a friend to check the gas and it shows full, even when I pinch the intake a)c valve gas is coming out from it, I have changed most of the parts and nothing seems to be working, I will try to check following your suggestions and keep you posted if anything new
Checa el fusible del radio puede que ese sea el problema, busca debajo del volante a tu mano izquierda, yo tengo una sorento 2018 y a veces se le va el sonido al radio, tengo que darle un golpe para que vuelva a sonar, a lo mejor un cable flojo o algo asi, pero nunca lo he quitado para buscar el problema, creo que ha llegado el tiempo porque mi camara de reversa dejo de funcionar y tengo que arreglarla, asi que si encuentro la falla te dejo saber
I bought phone fast charger for my car pluged in power outlet and this charger need 18 Amp
Can I replace the 10 Amp fuse (ACC) with 20 Amp new one
Can the wire handle this high amperage?
Actually the radio only works when it's warm outside. I'm estimating this but it usually has to be at least 70-75°f out for the radio to work. When it's really hot out, the radio will work for a while but if I turn on the A/C, eventually the radio will stop working. I've taken it to a Kia dealership and they said I needed a whole new radio. But I'm questioning if that's right. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I want to listen to some music while driving. Or for that matters able to use my hands free when I need to make a call. I have to pull over and it can get time consuming. Thanks for the help.
I understand your frustration as I exoerience the same thing. Now the rearview camera is doing the same as well.
I called Kia service for advice they said I had to pay $300 for a diagnostic test first.
The rearview camera is $44 and the new fuses come in the car as spares so definitely not doing that.
I'm thinking I should reset the radio try a new fuse first. What dio you think?
Outta the blue no illuminated screen this morn, it's more than once started with NO radio audio but still a lit screen, stopped and restarted it radio is fine🤔😕 Saw someone suggest disconnect, then cross the two battery cables together for few minutes to re-boot the computer... Is this true?
Was a backyard mechanic back in the 80s on my sweet cherry 55 Chevy but once digital domination took over FAGGETABOWDIT! 😂
Late model 2014 SX Sorento infinity system changed battery. Switched inside fuse panel off to be safe. Switched battery. Turned inside switch on. Turned car on now radio heated seat switches mirrors don't work. No reset button. Disconnected battery again for hours. Reconnected no change. Checked all the related fuses all OK. Still all mentioned do not work. Why?
Radio plays fine but every now and then the screen goes out and then can't do anything with it. Channel won't change volume won't go up or down, can't even power it off. Then randomly it'll start working again. When it goes out I have no backup camera either. Anyone else have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same issues for me this morning. Also when I shut off the car and opened the door - the radio stayed on. Went back in and re-started a few times - finally just had to leave it on and go to work. About 1/2 hour later , I went out to check it and the radio was off - restarted the car and all the radio controls were back! Freaky!!
Rear hatch will not open when i push switch on armrest and on key thob i can hear a click from fuse panel in driver foot well is there a relay or fuse that has blown or dose anybody know anything else that mite be the problem
Driver side AC not working correctly, passenger and rear seem to work fine. Dealership thinks it's a hose? Around $500 to fix? Seems high and maybe they are not sure?
Added Freon to my Kia and in two days it’s empty, too it to a mechanic and checked for possible leakages including the compressor but found nothing. How to fix this pls??
Had some white smoke on start-up although there was a lot more this time but it went after a while and then black smoke started coming out if the engine was under load, accelerating in 3rd or 4th. After about 5 miles the revs shot up to about 4k with no throttle with loads of black smoke out the back. They returned to normal after a few seconds and I drove on, set the cruise for about 55mph. Going through a town I had to accelerate from stop. Got into third and it starts revving again work more black smoke. I put it in 4th and dumped the clutch and this brought the revs back down. It died after a couple of seconds and now won't even turn over. I'm not sure if this is terminal or not yet. Anyone have any ideas what might have caused this?
