Fuel Pump Fuse blows on cranking SolvedSolved

Kia Sorento 2014 2.2 CRDi  102000 miles
Discovered the fault yesterday, car drove fine, parked it up and came back to it non- starting, suspected water ingress as i did hit a large puddle yesterday but would have expected the car to be more resilient in wet weather.
Fuel pump fuse blows on cranking, does not blow with ignition lights on, put a 20amp in, still blows but car did start initially and then stall when the fuse popped. Have removed fuel pump plug from pump to inspect for water, (none present), cranked engine with pump plug disconnected and fuse still blows eliminating pump failure.

Any thoughts on what is causing this "Short".

On further inspection noticed the rear heated seat wire (adjoined) (KX4 model) showing bare copper strands, unravelled the insulation to reveal burnt / damaged cable, removed the fuse for the rear heated seat and the car started without popping the fuel pump fuse, possible short from the rear heated seat cable. Car started though and will investigate further.

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.

UVO Radio stopped when new battery installed

Kia Sorento 2013 sorento 60000 miles
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.

Won’t start

Kia Sorento 2016 SUV 147734 miles
My 2016 Kia Sorento won’t start even though it gives no repair codes when ran through a diagnostic scan. When I turn the key in the ignition it turns like it usually does and doesn’t start. No clicking…nothing. All the electronics work, it just won’t start. I checked the battery, the fuses and etc and a bad starter would show up on a scan. Please help. Thank you
