#1910 of 1988 Headlights Wont Turn On by tami_boise Oct 26, 2008 (9:34 am)
I recently took my 2003 Sorento in to the dealer for a couple of things. When I got it home I noticed the headlights will not turn on without the key being in the on position. The parking lights will come on but not the headlights. I took it back and the dealer told me that was how it was supposed to work. I find this suspect as it wasn't that way before they worked on it. Is this true or am I being taken for a ride? Replies to this message: jimmybennett (Oct 26, 2008 4:03 pm) tami_boise (Oct 26, 2008 4:59 pm)

Replying to: tami_boise (Oct 26, 2008 9:34 am) This is how it is supposed to work. I actually always leave my headlights on. When you turn the car off the headlights go out, but the park lights stay on. When you remove the key from the ignition, the park lights go out. That's how it's always been. I have an '06 Sorrento that was purchased new. Replies to this message: tami_boise (Oct 26, 2008 4:59 pm)

Replying to: jimmybennett (Oct 26, 2008 4:03 pm) thanks Jimmy. .. So you can't even turn the lights on manually? It sure seems to me that I usta could. But I have been known to be mistaken before. I also leave my lights on all the time, I think its the safe way to do it.   Tami
#1913 of 1988 2008 Kia Sorento, aftermarket stereo by parsenic Nov 17, 2008 (7:26 am)
I tried to put a Sony stereo in my '08 Sorento yesterday. It powered up, the SWI-PS worked from the steering wheel, but there was no sound. I talked to crutchfield tech support. they had me hooking up two of the other amp and ant wires. Still no sound. As I had spliced the new set in, I was able to re-connect the old set. No Sound. It was late/cold. I took all the new wiring out and re-connected the old set. Works fine. I think I must have had a bad connection somewhere. Does anyone know exactly what power leads need to be connected where?
#1914 of 1988 Kia Sorento2003 auto shifter lights by dude1h Nov 18, 2008 (2:00 pm)
Hi. I just had my daytime running light module relaced to correct tail lights not working. (106000K so no warranty left) I also have my shifter lights not working, but the KIA dealer where I live says their are no lights on the shifter and to ignore the problem. I know their are lights under the P/N/D buttons etc. Why they would say their are no lights is beyond me. My problem is how to fix the lights. They will turn on if I hit the top of the shifter cover 5 or 6 times, but they do not stay on when I shut the car off and back on again. The back of the shifter dust cover is broken off and I can feel down inside with 2 fingers the light wire under the light assembly, but it feels tight. I cannot figure out how to get the shifter cover off to see if the connector I cannot reach is tight or not. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

Replying to: security1965 (Dec 07, 2008 9:34 am) I am very happy with my diesel manual sorento. However, it has begun to hesitate occasionally when the accelerator is depressed. It feels just like it is running out of fuel and then it takes off normally. This is NOT turbo lag. I have asked my dealer about it. He says others have reported the same problem but they cannot isolate a cause either on the diagnostic computer or otherwise. It is a sporadic problem. It is scary when it cuts out just when you need the power! I wonder how many others have this problem and has anyone found a solution???
